DURACRAFT CONSTRUCTION

DURACRAFT CONSTRUCTION is an Ashland/Auburndale-area general contractor run by Dalton Lima, and the thing that comes up again and again in what customers wrote between 2022 and 2024 is that jobs finished on budget and on time, with no surprise costs. In a 2024 review, a homeowner said an addition that extended their kitchen and added a second-floor room came in without a single extra charge; in a 2022 review, another homeowner called Dalton's responsiveness and timeliness what set him apart from other contractors they'd worked with. The range of projects described is wide — kitchen and bathroom remodels, basement finishes, decks, a carport, a master suite built above a garage, and additions for a home office or a growing family. A 2024 review named project manager Yolanda for keeping a deck-and-carport job on schedule and well communicated; a 2023 review described a full home renovation — a master suite, kitchen, and second bath — that started with a fast, accurate quote and frequent follow-up from Dalton himself. There's no negative account among the 19 reviews on file, and the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#205213) is active and state-verified. BuildZoom separately lists an active Massachusetts construction supervisor license (#CS-083204), which is typically the individual credential behind the company registration rather than a second company license. The written history here runs from 2022 to 2024, so there's little recent chatter to weigh against the older praise. For a kitchen, bathroom, basement, or addition project in the Metrowest area, this looks like a contractor with a consistent track record on budget and communication — worth asking for a couple of recent references to confirm that's held up.
