DiPierro Construction

DiPierro Construction is a family-run Boston general contractor led by Gerry DiPierro, working across the South End, Beacon Hill and Greater Boston on everything from brownstone renovations to additions, roof decks, and insurance restoration work. The through-line across dozens of Google reviews is Gerry's own hands-on involvement — reviewers describe him personally scoping jobs, walking through material options, and staying reachable by email and text through "several projects over the past year." In a 2023 review, a customer described using DiPierro for a purchased apartment building's exterior and interior work, including installing two balconies, navigating the historic commission, and later being retained as the after-hours contact for tenant emergencies. Another, from 2024, described a two-bedroom condo backyard addition completed with limited worksite access, where the company's experience with the city's permitting process kept things moving. The written record runs deep — 24 reviews from 2021 through 2026, most five-star, largely positive on quality, responsiveness and follow-through on complex older-home projects. It isn't spotless: a 2022 review described visiting for a closet remodel quote, being promised a follow-up with pictures and designs, and then never hearing back despite repeated assurances from the office — a real lapse in the sales process, even where the completed jobs described elsewhere read as thorough. Google shows an overall 4.3★ from 37 ratings. DiPierro holds an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license, verified against the state registry, and BBB lists the business at 38 years old with an A+ grade. Worth noting: the company's own website gives two different founding stories — one page says "in business 20 years, since 2006," while marketing copy elsewhere claims "over 30 years" — the older figure lines up with BBB's 1988 start date. DiPierro is a solid pick for an older-home renovation, addition, or permit-heavy Boston project where hands-on ownership matters — just make sure a quote actually gets followed up on before assuming the process is moving.
