DeFrancesco Construction, run by Frank DeFrancesco out of Milton, is the exterior contractor homeowners keep coming back to - literally: one customer wrote in a 2021 review that they'd worked with the company for more than 10 years, and Google's 96 ratings sit at a full 5 stars. The pattern across 48 written reviews from 2021 through mid-2026 barely varies: siding jobs (vinyl, cedar impression shingles), full roof replacements, window installs, and gutter work, almost always with Frank named directly as hands-on, responsive, and involved from the first quote through the final walkthrough. Specifics recur - a 140-year-old house re-windowed in two days and re-sided in five, per a 2022 review; an 80-year-old home's cedar-shingle job that came in at the lowest of several quotes and still included fixing a couple of unanticipated trouble spots at no extra charge, also 2022; three layers of old siding stripped and rebuilt with commercial-grade house wrap, rigid insulation board, and CertainTeed siding over five contiguous days, described in a 2023 review. A 2022 reviewer said Frank talked them out of upsells they didn't need, even though it would have cost him money. When something did go sideways - a leaking roof another company had "newly installed," per a 2022 review from a renovated three-family building's new HOA - Frank investigated, proposed a fix, and beat a competing quote by roughly $2,000 doing it. The company's Better Business Bureau profile carries an A+ grade. One thing worth flagging directly: the Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration on file for the business is registry-verified expired - worth confirming current standing before signing a contract. This is the contractor to call for a siding, roofing, window, or gutter job where the homeowner wants the owner himself involved start to finish - the reviews, spanning more than four years and dozens of jobs on houses ranging from decades to over a century old, describe the same experience over and over: clear options, a fair price, and a clean site when it's done.
Working with Frank was a joy. He is very responsive, presented a suite of options for our siding project at various price points, and his team were very professional, working quickly and with high quality. I can’t recommend Frank and DeFrancesco Construction enough!
Frank is so great and easy to work with. Hired him for a very large project (windows, siding, roofing and exterior doors). I had the most positive experience with Frank. He is reasonably priced, easy to communicate with and attentive to detail and time restrictions. We hired Frank and his team again this year to add a gas fireplace vent outside. The work is top notch. He listens to everything we want and always executes it perfectly. He will always communicate to make sure we are on the same page and will adjust so we are 100% satisfied. I would hire Frank again and again and recommend you to do the same! Thank you Frank and Team!

Frank is incredibly trustworthy, communicative, and personally involved in each project, ensuring everything runs smoothly and to the highest standard. They have completed a wide range of work on our home, including roofing, siding, facias and gutters - finishing ahead of schedule and offering very competitive pricing. The team is detail-oriented, efficient, and keeps the job site clean. Their work completely transformed our home and exceeded our expectations. What stands out most is how the crew approaches each job with care and professionalism. Frank’s dedication to quality and customer satisfaction truly sets DeFrancesco Construction apart. If you're looking for a reliable, honest, and skilled contractor, Frank and his team are an excellent choice you won't regret.
Had the work done in August 2024. Excellent job all around. Frank is a great communicator and will explain every detail you’d like to know about the work and the options available. His pricing is more than competitive. We did cedar impressions siding throughout, fascia, gutters with covers, closed the eaves with soffits, new windows in the front, and a new porch. His team was amazing and fast. I’ve gotten so many compliments about the house from the neighbors, both during and after construction — we used to be the house with the big hydrangeas, we’re now the house with the cool siding and beautiful new front porch. Would highly recommend him for any similar work.
