CWB General Contracting runs out of Newton as a small, owner-led carpentry and repair outfit rather than a big remodeling firm — the kind of crew homeowners call for a deck, some trim work, or a handyman-scale fix rather than a gut renovation. The business's own online listing traces it back to 2020, started by André Lima and Arlindo Melo after years working for larger construction companies, and it runs with a team of about five. On Thumbtack, it holds a perfect 5.0 rating across 17 ratings and has been booked through the platform ten times. The five reviews collected there in 2025 are uniformly positive: customers consistently point to carpentry and painting work finished on the schedule and at the price André Lima quoted upfront, with no surprises added on afterward. A separate Newton-area contractor directory shows the same clean five-star record and puts the business at roughly five years old — broadly consistent with Thumbtack's telling, if not identical. One thing worth sorting out before calling: a couple of sources list the business under the name "CWB Construction" rather than "CWB Contractor," so it's worth double-checking you've reached the right entity and phone number for André Lima's Newton crew before booking. For a homeowner in or around Newton who needs carpentry, painting, or a handyman-level repair rather than a full-scale remodel, the Thumbtack history and a Newton Chamber of Commerce listing are a reasonable starting point — just confirm current license and insurance status directly before signing anything, since neither is verified here.

Andre did a fantastic job. The job was replacing several rotting beams surrounding our garages with PVC and painting to match the rest of the trim. He drove out for free to provide an estimate, went out to purchase materials, and came back to do the work exactly when he said he would. He was efficient and careful and did exactly what we asked. He charged us his cost for the materials, and for labor charged exactly what he had estimated. I would happily hire Andre again.

Andre did an incredible job! We hired him to install shiplap on the wall going up our stairs in our foyer. He worked quickly and diligently, paying attention to detail. Our house is VERY old, and nothing is level or plumb, but this didn't cause any issues for Andre - he made sure everything looked perfect and we are so happy with the final product! Will definitely recommend him, and hire him again!!! TY Andre!!!

I highly recommend Andre. He worked on our deck stairs, where we had some rotting and repairs needed. He got back to me right away, began the project quickly, worked hard for two solid days on replacement, repairs, painting, staining and did an outstanding job.

I worked with Andre to fix some small things around the house (broken wooden shed door, leaky washing machine pipe). Andre was punctual; provided clear, transparent pricing; and did quality work! I highly recommend Andre for your home repair needs!

I needed some pre-home sale cleanup - so several small things that didn't get done while we lived here but might be off putting for buyers. Andre did an excellent job especially on a peeling ceiling, with scraping, filling, leveling, sanding, sealing and painting. He came out to view, provided an estimate on the spot and started as agreed. He covered everything with plastic to keep the dust down and cleaned up what escaped. Pricing was fair and work completed on schedule. I would not hesitate to use his services again and heartily recommend.
