A condo in an 1852 house, a master bathroom taken down to the studs, and a surprise waiting behind them — that is the job a Marblehead couple hired Tom DiPietro for after collecting several estimates, and wrote up in 2013. Another customer that year had their whole first floor opened up and the kitchen remodelled, and said Tom listened, adapted, explained and worked inside their budget, with his suggestions along the way all turning out well. DiPietro Family Contracting is a Marblehead general contractor. The company says Tom DiPietro founded it in 1998 and that it works the North Shore on kitchens, bathrooms, renovations, custom carpentry and historic restoration; Jen DiPietro runs the office and daughter Courtney handles design and marketing. Its Better Business Bureau page lists five employees, and a LinkedIn profile names a lead carpenter on the crew. The written record is old, and that is the first thing to know about it. All five customer accounts sit on Houzz and run from February 2013 to August 2016, behind a 5.0 average from five ratings. They are specific and consistent: a total gut of a kitchen, bathroom and mudroom plus a new four-season room in 2013; a three-season porch turned into living space in 2011 for a homeowner who had used him repeatedly over six years, including a bookcase custom built to match the room; and, in 2016, a fifteen-year-old deck reboarded in composite with new built-in bench seating, while the Trex decking and stairs that were still sound were left alone. On credentials, go in with questions. Houzz lists licence number 85054 for the company and an EPA Lead certification, and the company's own site says it holds HIC and CSL registrations without giving numbers — none of which has been checked against the state registry. The BBB page also puts the business at eleven years old, while the company's site says 1998, which would be twenty-eight. For a kitchen, a bath, or period work on an older North Shore house, what customers described is exactly that kind of job, done carefully and to a budget. Ask for the CSL and HIC numbers and check them yourself, and ask to see two or three projects finished in the last couple of years.
“Thomas Carritte has held roles including Lead Carpenter at Dipietro Family Contracting LLC”
Two projects - one outside and one inside. All the wood on the 15 year old deck was replaced with composite. New bench seating was designed and constructed of composite. The old Trex decks and stairs were not replaced since they were in excellent shape. Inside, the fireplace and brick wall were enclosed, the. Chimney sealed and a gas fireplace installed. Beautiful new bookcase constructed,new recessed lighting, TV and sound system installed. The living room is nowlight and bright and all the old brick is hidden. Tom and his crew did an excellent job in a timely manner. All of his workers and subcontractors are first rate.
We bought a condo in an old historic home built in 1852 -- quite the fixer-upper. After getting several estimates for our first big project (the master bathroom), we hired Tom Dipietro. It was a complete demo down to the studs -- and on top of that we ran into a "little" surprise (i.e. the support beams for the floor and ceiling had been cut during previous work). Tom was always up front with what the issues were and how he recommended fixing them -- and we always received itemized & detailed descriptions of the costs so we knew exactly what we were paying for. Because of our great experience with DiPietro Family contracting, we subsequently hired Tom to do our kitchen (also a complete demo). No big surprises this time -- and were we able to come in extremely close to budget (only going over because we added a more complicated backsplash and new floor during the course of the project). Tom and his wife Jen are EXCELLENT to work with. Transparent, quick and EXCEPTIONAL work. We will use them again when we buy our next place!
We hired this contractor to open up our first floor and remodel our kitchen. The results were nothing short of spectacular. Tom the owner's willingness to listen, adapt, explain and work within our budget was great. His suggestions on the go all turned out well, and the project was completed within budget and ahead of time. I can't tell you how many people have given positive comments on the work, especially the finish carpentry. The attention to detail on that front is second to none. We are in the process of selling our home and their work has paid off and then some in terms of sale price. I would highly recommend Dipietro contracting to anyone looking for great results and an owner that will listen to what you want and then make it happen.
Total gut and renovation of kitchen, bathroom, mudroom, and new 4 seasons room. They did a fantastic job. Tom was very knowledgable, and easy to work with. He was always available and his attention to detail was outstanding. We were very pleased with the finished product.
Over the past 6 years, DiPietro Contracting has performed numerous updates and renevations to my house. The 2011 job involved turning a 3 season porch into living space. The work was completed in a timely, efficient manner. Tom custom built a bookcase to fit with the decor of the house. He was always thinking of new ways to maximinze the space available. Tom truely takes pride in his work. He strives to please the client. I would recommend hiring DiPietro Contracting.
