Verified record
A restaurant gutted and rebuilt in 72 hours — new floors, new ceiling, built-in furniture. That is the job a customer writing in August 2017 chose to describe about Daniel K Dacri, and speed on commercial work is the thread running through everything written about him. Dacri works out of Northampton and has 67 permitted projects to his name. The written record, though, is short and old: two reviews, from August 2017 and January 2020, both five-star and both about commercial build-out work. The 2020 reviewer, describing a fit-out of his commercial space, wrote that Dacri "did a ripper of a job… in a very short amount of time" and called him the only person he trusted for that kind of work. Nothing has been written publicly about him since. On credentials, BuildZoom says it verified two Massachusetts licences as active — an electrician licence, #14950, checked in June 2026, and home improvement contractor registration #162929, issued 09-19-2025 and checked in March 2026. Those are BuildZoom's checks rather than a registry lookup of our own, so confirm the numbers with the state before hiring. What you cannot learn from two reviews six and nine years old is how the shop runs today, or how it handles residential work specifically — both accounts are commercial jobs. If you are fitting out a restaurant or a storefront on a tight clock, the written history is directly on point. For a kitchen or bath in your house, ask for recent residential references and confirm the current registration and insurance yourself.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Daniel K Dacri. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Cabinets are roughly 30% of a kitchen budget.

Typical kitchen remodel around $29,000
Dan Dacri is amazing. Simply amazing. He works and works to make sure the job is done efficiently and beautifully. Whether it’s a refurbishment or a totally new buld-out, this guy has the magic. He did a ripper of a job on my commercial space in a very short amount of time and nailed every single part of it to an astonishing degree. He’s simply the only one I trust to do this kind of work and he knows it intuitively, like how you and I know how to tie shoes. Absurdly competent. What a gem. Hire this man. Now...before someone else books him and you can’t get your work done on time.
Dan is a consummate professional. He cares deeply about the quality of his work. He has a depth of skill that is unusual for a small outfit. He remodeled a restaurant for us in 72 hours complete with new floors, ceiling and built in furniture. The result was more than we hoped for. Do not hesitate to reach out to this man!
