Verified record
E & C Contracting is Eli's crew — nearly every review names him directly, and the projects described are substantial: a full basement finish, a gut renovation of a neglected rental unit, a ranch converted into a colonial. Based in Somerville, the company's own site adds roofing and siding work to the general contracting and remodeling it's known for in reviews. Its written record runs entirely from 2022 — eight reviews, all five stars, describing jobs from that year. In a 2022 review, a homeowner who'd compared five or six contractors for a kitchen remodel picked Eli's mid-range estimate and was happy with the finished product; another 2022 review described a ranch-to-colonial conversion finished on time, on schedule and on budget. A separate 2022 review described two projects from the prior two years — a Trex deck and stairs rebuild, then a mud room addition that ended up blending seamlessly with the house — with concerns raised mid-project addressed once flagged. The record stops there. BBB lists the company as not accredited and not rated, with no complaint history, and its Houzz profile carries no reviews of its own. This is worth a look for a general remodel or addition — the Somerville-area jobs described are substantial and came in on budget — but since the review record is now several years old, it's worth asking directly about more recent, comparable work before committing to anything large.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from E & C Contracting LLC. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
A square is 100 sq ft of roof surface — bigger than the floor plan because of pitch and overhangs.

Eli and his team are professional and efficient. They respected our home and cleaned up every day they were here. Eli is VERY responsive and listens attentively. No excuses, just results!
We used Eli and his team to finish our basement and they did phenomenal work. They saw our vision better than we did, and everyone who walks into our basement is amazed at the quality of the construction. I am incredibly picky about details and they worked with me with any last minute changes. Eli is very responsive and it was the best experience we have had working with a contractor. We will definitely be using them for future renovations. They are absolutely fantastic, to say the least.
Eli and his team did a fantastic job on the renovation of our 2 family rental in Medford MA. We had tenants who left our 2nd floor in horrible condition and they brought it back to life again. Eli was extremely attentive and very informative. Couldn't have asked for a better job and very happy with the results!
These guys were professional and did a great job. On time and as planned. Couldn’t ask for much more from a contractor.
We used Eli to transform our ranch into a colonial. He and his crew did an AMAZING JOB! They were on time, on schedule, and on budget. I have already recommended him to many friends and family. Eli always returned a call or text promptly, and we can't say enough about how great the experience was. We will never use anyone else for a project besides Eli and his crew!
