D. A. King Construction

D. A. King Construction is a Pembroke, Massachusetts general contractor and handyman business run by owner Daniel King, who the company says has been operating since 1998 — about 28 years. Homeowners who hired the crew for larger remodeling jobs report good results. A 2022 Google review credits Dan with turning a kitchen into "my dream kitchen," and a 2018 HomeAdvisor review describes a combined living room and kitchen renovation with a helpful on-site crew the homeowner would hire again. Earlier Angi reviews from 2014 describe the same pattern — accurate estimates, on-time crews, and thorough cleanup after the job. Not every account is positive. A 2024 Google review accuses the business of failing to pay a subcontractor roughly $2,000 for a foundation excavation, and a Massachusetts small-claims court filing shows Graham Waste Services sued Daniel King doing business as D. A. King Construction — an independent filing that lines up with the review's complaint. A separate 2016 review describes unfinished work and contract terms changed without the homeowner's consent, which the business has publicly disputed elsewhere. The Better Business Bureau lists the company with an F grade, though BBB states the reason as unauthorized use of its name or trademarks rather than a customer complaint. Anyone considering D. A. King Construction for a kitchen or living room remodel should ask directly about how subcontractors and vendors are paid, and request references from a recent job before signing a contract.
