Empire Building & Development LLC

Empire Building & Development is an East Boston general contractor whose jobs run from a single flooded bathroom to ground-up multifamily buildings. It holds Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration 205022, verified active with the state registry in the company's own name. The through-line in what customers write is schedule and budget. A homeowner writing in 2024 said that when their bathroom flooded, Empire "quickly stepped in and renovated on time and within budget." Another 2024 customer who hired the company for a kitchen said it came in "on time and on budget" and that the crew "put extreme care and thought into delivering a quality product." A third 2024 review describes Matt and his crew renovating a kitchen, laundry and two bathrooms — responsive, fairly priced, and accommodating on requests. A notable share of the praise comes from people who work in construction and real estate rather than one-off homeowners. A reviewer writing in May 2026 with several decades in real estate has used Empire for ground-up multifamily residential builds, renovations and special projects, and rates its "grit, integrity and expertise" above the general contractors they have worked with. A HERS energy rater who has worked with the company on numerous projects wrote in 2024 about what sits inside the walls: very airtight homes with strong energy-efficiency and air-exchange numbers. An investor writing the same month described Matt being on site and coordinating subcontractors to hold the budget without cutting quality. That pattern says repeat professional clients keep coming back, and it also means much of the record reflects trade relationships rather than one-time residential jobs. Across Google the company carries a 5-star average from eight ratings, with seven written reviews spanning 2024 to 2026 and no negative account among them — a consistent record, but a small and single-platform one. If you are planning a kitchen or bath renovation in East Boston or a larger build, this is a reasonable shop to get a bid from. Ask to walk or see photographs of a recently finished kitchen or bath, and confirm registration 205022 is still current with the state at the time you sign.
