Eagle Hill Homes is a Melrose renovation firm, and a recent customer who first hired it for an addition said the project turned into a full home renovation because they trusted the company so much. That customer said Teagan narrowed down many design options and decisions for them, and that Paige helped make a big transformation feel personal and possible. The company's website describes it as a Greater Boston design-build firm offering custom homes and full-home renovations, founded in 2017 by husband-and-wife Nick and Samantha Riccio. BuildZoom lists license #201337. In a 2026 review, a customer who started construction while very pregnant said Sam and Nick worked around the family's daily schedule and took extra precautions around dust and fumes. That 2026 customer said that when prices came back over budget, the company thought creatively about solutions, and that the project was done on time. A 2026 customer, renovating for the first time, said the company helped them understand how to budget and where it was worth investing a little extra. A 2025 customer described a full gut renovation of a family home that kept original details of the house, and said the company was upfront about the budget and finished on time. A 2025 customer wrote, "The communication was flawless, especially with the help of Buildertrend," and said the project stayed within budget. A 2024 customer said a total home renovation and addition finished two weeks early and about 3% over budget, with the extra costs coming from things found once the house was opened up, inspection issues and add-ons the customer chose. That 2024 customer said the designer, Isla Swindles, presented 2-3 options and pushed back when something would not work. A 2024 customer said the company designed and finished their basement and renovated their primary bath, and found a book case solution to hide a lally column that could not be removed. A 2024 customer said Samantha and her team got their triple-decker deck project done. In a 2023 review, a customer described the design and renovation of 2.5 bathrooms and a laundry room, with built-ins added to a bonus room and daily updates during the work. A 2023 customer said a bathroom project was done along with an updated entry way railing and kitchen backsplash. A 2025 Google reviewer gave one star and wrote, "Can't trust them."
We originally hired Eagle Hill Homes for an addition, but the project quickly turned into a full home renovation because we trusted them so much. Once we got into the process and saw the kind of team we had, we decided to really put everything into making our house our forever home. Sam, Nick, Paige, Teagan, Rob, Justin, Abby, and the entire Eagle Hill Homes team were absolutely fantastic. They were professional, honest, thoughtful, talented, and incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire project. A renovation of this size could have been overwhelming, but they communicated clearly, helped us make smart decisions, and made us feel supported every step of the way. The Eagle Hill team became so much more than just the “people working on our house.” They were the people helping us make huge decisions, calm our nerves, solve problems, and turn this house into the place where we will raise our family for years to come. Paige especially became such an important part of that process. She understood my vision, cared about the details, and helped make such a big transformation feel personal and possible. And Teagan’s design skills?! She always seemed to know exactly what I was looking for. I am truly not someone who enjoys decorating, so having Teagan narrow down so many options and decisions for me was everything. The finished result completely transformed our home and the way our family lives in it. Eagle Hill Homes took our original vision and helped turn it into something even better than we imagined. We are so grateful to the entire team and cannot recommend them highly enough.
HH Review Eagle Hill Homes was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. This was the first renovation that my family had done and I was very nervous. After hearing and seeing other peoples horror stories I wanted to make sure whoever we hired was going to do things without cutting corners and that no one was going to leave us high and dry. I can say that Sam and Nick were the complete opposite. You’d never know they had multiple projects at the same time as us. They made us feel like their top priority, even though we were relatively small compared to other projects. They outlined the process very clearly from the beginning, worked within our budget and communicated every step of the way. We had the unique situation of starting construction being very pregnant with our third child, moving out midway through with a newborn and then moving back in with a 2 month old baby after construction. Not only did they work around our daily schedule, they made sure to take extra precautions around dust and fumes. Any issues that arose were solved without any tension. When prices came back over budget, they thought creatively about solutions to make sure that we got what we wanted in the end. The trades were fantastic; you could tell they had been hand picked because of their skill and professionalism. The whole office team worked together seamlessly and each of them was truly a pleasure to work with. Having the contractor and architect working together made everything function so smoothly. In the end, they got the project done ON TIME (which is more than anyone else I know can say) and it looks gorgeous. We were so happy to support an independent business in our town, especially one that is female owned and operated. We rave about them any chance we get!
We had an exceptional experience with Eagle Hill Homes, and we truly cannot recommend them enough. From the very beginning, they made us feel welcomed and took the time to sit down with us to make sure we were all aligned with our vision and goals. As first-time renovators taking on a project of this scale, their guidance was invaluable. They were informative, patient, and incredibly supportive—helping us understand how to budget wisely and where it was worth investing a little extra. We would have been completely lost without their expertise. Sam and Nick have clearly built a phenomenal culture within their team. No matter who we were meeting with or communicating with, we always felt like our project had everyone’s full attention—even while they were managing multiple projects at the same time. The entire team was professional, approachable, and never made us feel uncomfortable asking questions. Beyond the quality of their construction and design work, what really stood out was their communication and reliability. With two young kids, staying on a timeline was critical for us, and Eagle Hill Homes delivered exactly what they promised. They kept us informed about both the big decisions and the small details, making us feel involved and confident every step of the way. We are absolutely thrilled with our new home and can’t thank them enough for helping create the home of our dreams. This was truly a 10/10 experience. We promote Eagle Hill Homes every chance we get through word of mouth, and it felt important to leave this review to help spread the word about the great work being done by genuinely great people.
It took me way too long to post this because it felt impossible to capture how wonderful it was to work with Eagle Hill Homes in just one Google review. There’s so much to say about how they went above and beyond, and I wanted to make sure I did them justice... so here goes! If you’re looking for a contractor who combines outstanding communication, trustworthiness, and genuine kindness, look no further. Sam, Nick, and the entire team knocked it out of the park. From the very start, they made sure everything was prepped and on time. The project stayed within budget, and everything was completed exactly as promised — no surprises, no stress. The communication was flawless, especially with the help of Buildertrend. If something ever came up that needed attention, they were right on top of it, clearly walking us through options with full transparency. Obviously things can happen during a reno, but I never felt worried that I'd get a surprise bill or piece of bad news, or that they wouldn't have my best interest in mind. The whole process felt so smooth, and that’s not something you hear often during a renovation! I honestly never expected to have this much fun (and complain so little) during a renovation. We finished the project and I was already scheming about what I can do next (sorry Chrissy) because working with Sam, Nick, and the team was an absolute pleasure. Our house looks absolutely stunning, and I can’t thank them enough for their hard work and dedication. Huge shoutout to the rest of the team, too - hi Rob, Justin, and Casey (and miss you Isla!) Thanks again, Eagle Hill Homes! You’ve earned a customer for life.
We worked with Eagle Hill Homes on a full gut renovation of our family home, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. They did an incredible job balancing modern updates with the history of the house, thoughtfully incorporating original details to keep its character intact. From start to finish, their communication was excellent, and they were always upfront about the budget, which made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. They truly listened to our vision and brought it to life while respecting the home’s past. Best of all, they finished on time! We’re so grateful for their work and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and thoughtful team.
