East Wood Builders

A 60-foot brick chimney came down on a kitchen roof the week before Christmas in 2024, and East Wood Builders was the crew that got there immediately — taking the weight off the roof, shoring things up, and protecting it from the weather short-term. The homeowner who wrote that Angi review called it an enormous relief. The Winchester company describes itself as hands-on general contracting with a full range of home services across greater Boston, founded by Chris Burke, who it says has more than 20 years of contractor experience. Thumbtack puts it at six employees and 12 years in business, with 11 projects on its profile. The other homeowner account is calmer work: a July 2025 Thumbtack review of a full kitchen and bathroom renovation, where the crew was professional and on time, kept the site clean, walked the owners through every step, and was transparent about costs and changes. One thing to settle before you sign anything — the Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration in East Wood Builders LLC's name, #187962, is expired on the state registry. Ask whether it has been renewed, and get the current number written onto the contract. They are a sensible call for an emergency — a collapse, a roof that needs shoring tonight — and, on the 2025 account, for a planned kitchen or bath run by a crew that shows up when it says it will. Confirm the registration first, then ask to see a couple of the projects on their Thumbtack profile that match the job you have in mind.
