Farrugia Contracting is the kind of general contractor Charlton-area homeowners keep calling back — several of the people reviewing Frans Farrugia's work on Google describe hiring him for a second, third, or fourth project after the first one went well. The reviews cluster around the same few things: Frans does most of the hands-on work himself, stays on top of any subcontractors he brings in, and answers his phone. A 2025 review described a full basement build-out with a kitchen, bathroom, and fireplace finished on time and within budget; another from the same year covered a full renovation of two bathrooms plus replacing flooring in several rooms; a third described a bathroom-kitchen addition adding roughly 1,000 square feet. All eight Google reviews on file are five stars, and the most recent, from May 2026, praised his work on a home addition. Farrugia holds an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration, verified against the state registry, and Better Business Bureau lists the company — Frans Farrugia, sole proprietor — as A+ rated and in business 42 years, though it isn't BBB-accredited. Past project listings on Houzz and BuildZoom span additions, bathroom and kitchen remodels, basement finishes, deck and garage work, flooring, and roof replacement, and BuildZoom records nine building permits pulled between 2007 and 2024. Worth weighing before calling: the review count is still small — eight on Google, several from repeat clients — so there isn't yet a large independent sample beyond that circle. For an addition, a full remodel, or a multi-room project with one contractor who sticks around start to finish, this looks like a solid call; confirm current availability and get a written scope before booking, same as with any contractor.
Frans was great at every aspect of my addition! I would highly recommend him to do any project in or outside of your house!
We initially contracted Frans to remodel two bathrooms for us. They came out beautifully, so we had him finish the loft above our garage as well. Frans does most of the work himself but for the couple of things that were subbed out, he was really on top of subs to do a good job, even once having some PASSABLE shower tile work redone without us asking. Reasonable rates and high quality work!! Great communication and put up with a bunch of questions and hemming hawing of material selection. Would recommend Farrugia contracting to anyone in MetroWest and beyond!
Frans always answers his phone. He’s a great communicator and shows up when he says he’s going to. If something comes up on his end, he calls and tells me when he will be there. The work was done beautifully and always addressed any concerns. I had he also comes back to fix things after the project is over. I can’t recommend him enough.
They have done multiple large projects for me. One was An addition which included bathroom, kitchen, and addition of 1000 sq footage. The second was a complete build of an income property. Both times I got more than what I asked for. Professionalism, price , and final product were top notch. I recommend Farrugia with highest regards.
Frans has helped me with multiple projects at multiple homes over the past ten years. I highly recommend! He is honest and will think outside the box to give you the best and the most cost effective solution. He takes tremendous pride in his work and wants you to love the finished product. Also, I called every reference (20+) he provided me before I awarded him his first project. Every person I spoke with said they would hire him again…and I specifically remember one gentleman saying Frans is a diamond in the rough. I truly concur!
