Front stairs, porch floors, a garage staircase, a deck taken apart and rebuilt: more than a dozen of DiChiara Construction's Google reviews come from homeowners whose entrance or outdoor structure had reached the end of its life. The Saugus company is owner-operated by Chris DiChiara, its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and the company says Chris started it in early 2023 after earning his construction supervisor licence and more than a decade of hands-on residential remodeling. The jobs scale up from there. A homeowner writing in March 2026 had the second floor dormered and the first floor substantially restructured, and said Chris held to the budget they had agreed as the quirks of the house turned up. Repeat customers, in a May 2024 review, had a porch built first and then brought him back to turn their cramped under-the-roof upstairs into a full second floor. A September 2024 reviewer put on a 16-by-12-foot addition; an August 2025 customer counted off eight sunporch windows, three exterior doors, three storm doors and eight old interior doors swapped for solid ones with new trim, and named Chris, Joe and Adam as the crew. Small work still gets in. A June 2025 reviewer had an attic ladder installed and wrote that they never felt like a lower priority, even squeezed into a packed schedule. The other thing customers keep describing is the talking: daily contact through a whole-house remodel in an October 2025 review, questions answered as an old deck came down and a new one went up in June 2023, and a front-porch-and-stairs rebuild in October 2023 where the permits passed on the first attempt. Google shows a 5.0 average across 43 ratings. For a porch, a staircase, a bathroom gut or an addition on the North Shore, this is a natural call — the work customers describe runs from an attic ladder to a second-storey conversion. Get materials, permit responsibility and a start-to-finish schedule written into the quote, and ask who from the crew will be on site each day.
Chris is personable and reliable. He and his team are very easy to work with
Chris helped us dormer our second floor and do some major restructuring on our first floor last year and they did a great job. Communication and quality were top notch and Chris stayed in the budget we agreed to even as we needed to pivot as quirks of our house became obvious. We would definitely call Chris if we needed more work and we know he'll be very responsive with any follow up questions we have. Great overall experience.
About a year ago, we contacted Chris DiChiara to get a quote to redo the front porch floor, front stairs, and back stairs. Chris came out and gave us a quote and when he heard our frustration about still waiting what seemed like forever for someone to call back from other contractors to replace our gutters and paint the house, he had reasonable gutter and painting quotes for us within a few days. We appreciated that very much. Through this first round of projects, Chris was always friendly and accessible. He would give us updates every day on where the project was and asked if we had any questions. He always gave us time to make sure all our questions were answered. Chris goes above and beyond for his customers to make sure they are happy. Joe DiChiara did a great job on the porch and stairs and always gave 110%. A year later, we had more projects and we went right back to DiChiara Construction LLC. We had our patio re-done, full-gut bathroom renovation, added a half bath on the first floor. Chris gave us a reasonable quote and even though it was close to the holidays, Chris and team had the bathrooms completed before Christmas. Joe and Adam DiChiara are a great team working for Chris, always smiling, friendly, and professional with their attention to detail and strong work ethic showing through with each project as it’s done right and on time. It’s nice to have a contractor that you can trust from the quote to the finished project and who is always present. Chris was friendly, personable, and knowledgeable on day one and that never changed through all the projects. He takes pride in his work and that shows. I’m sure we will have another project and we won’t hesitate to go with DiChiara Construction LLC again. I would highly recommend them. ….and because they were all so nice to our dog, it took our dog about two weeks to stop waiting for them to walk through the door every morning.
I had an outstanding experience with Chris and his team. The remodel of my laundry room and the replacement of the heating and cooling system exceeded my expectations. Communication was clear, prompt, and professional from start to finish. Chris was always available for questions and he clearly communicated each step of the process. The subcontractors were equally impressive—highly skilled and detail-oriented. The entire project ran smoothly, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I would highly recommend and he will be my first and only call for any additional work I need.
Had a great experience service was fast and friendly I would highly recommend Chris.
