Dirty Duties General Construction is a Belmont business whose own website says it began in Miami in 2004 and has served New England and the greater Boston area for 11 years. The company presents itself as handling general construction, maintenance, and real-estate improvement work for homeowners and management companies, with Boston-area service including Belmont, Cambridge, Newton, Arlington, Burlington, Salem, and Watertown. The available customer history is six Google reviews from October 2024 through May 2025, alongside a 3.7-star Google rating from six ratings. Customers describe Luis completing painting, hardwood floors, kitchens, baths, patios, decks, walls, basement bathrooms, cabinets, and ceiling and wall repairs. Several praise his reliability, attention to detail, reasonable pricing, responsiveness, and ability to complete varied projects; one Roxbury homeowner described a timely, fairly priced plumbing-leak repair that included insulation and cleanup. There is also a clear negative account to discuss before booking. One reviewer said a job was incomplete, tiles were ruined, and the price increased beyond the agreement; another simply said they did not recommend Luis. Those complaints sit alongside the positive reviews, so written scope, change-order terms, finish expectations, and references for the specific project would be sensible questions. Angi and HomeAdvisor list additions and remodels and plumbing, identify 22 years of experience, and note Spanish language capability, while both profiles say the business is new on their platforms with no reviews. This may suit homeowners seeking a small-to-medium remodeling, repair, or maintenance project with a broad scope of carpentry-adjacent work. Confirm the exact work plan, materials, price, payment schedule, licensing status, and who will perform specialty plumbing before signing.
Doesn't complete job, ruined tiles, raises price upon what was agreed on. Overall not a good experience
I do not recommend Luis.
Luis did a great job on several projects at my house. He is very reliable and pays careful attention to detail.
Luis has always done a tremendous job for me. He has done painting, hardwood floors, kitchens and baths, patios, and decks. He is always reasonable and makes sure that I am always satisfied with his work.
We had a good experience with Luis on a small job in Roxbury. We needed to patch and repair the ceiling and wall of a living room, after they were opened for a plumbing leak repair. Luis did a good job, in a timely manner, at a fair and reasonable price. He filled the voids with insulation and cleaned up the floor. He was professional, helpful and responsive. Recommended !
