Chris Ferragamo's name turns up in almost every review of this Wakefield builder, usually attached to something structural. In a January 2023 job a couple wanted a load-bearing wall taken out and a support beam put in to widen an entrance; they wrote that Chris was one of the few contractors who called back, came the next day, priced it lowest, and ordered materials and pulled the permit the same afternoon. The work on file spans the trades a general contractor covers: a roof replacement in September 2025, vinyl siding for a customer's relative in March 2025 after earlier trim and roofing work, and a May 2024 kitchen job where a broken stove needed electrical work and the laminate cut back so the wider replacement looked built in — finished in five hours with the site cleaned. A 2016 reviewer had a skylight that would not close solved for what they called a reasonable price. Ferragamo Custom Builders has been BBB accredited since 2010 and holds an A+ grade there, with no complaints published. The company says it started in 1996, describes itself as three generations of New Englanders, and lists a service area running from Wakefield out across the North Shore to Gloucester and Andover. The thing to weigh is volume rather than quality: 4.9 across 13 reviews sounds emphatic, but those thirteen stretch back to October 2016 and the most recent is nearly a year old. Seven of them are from a single month in 2016. Nothing here is negative — but it is a thin trail for a company claiming three decades of work. For structural changes, roofing, siding and kitchen work on the North Shore, they read as a safe, established pick. Ask to see recent jobs and confirm the current Massachusetts registration before signing.
The Ferragamo team did a terrific job on my roof replacement. Very professional and detail oriented for a reasonable price. Highly recommend Chris and his team.
Ferragamo custom builders had done trim work and a roofing job for me in the past. They did a great job so when a family member wanted to vinyl side their home we called them back! Ferragamo custom builders did an outstanding job on both the house and leaving the yard clean. nice job!
I had a small kitchen project. My old stove broke down and I couldn't find a new one with the same dimensions. All new kitchen ranges are larger. The project required a lot of electrical work, as well as widening the space by cutting laminate and making the new stove looks like custom made in my kitchen. The Ferragamo's team did a great job, finishing the project after 5 hours non-stop work and cleaning before leaving. I highly recommend them.
We were extremely pleased with the work we had done. They were highly skilled, professional, neat and courteous. Went above and beyond to finish the job as promised. They made sure to clean up the work area before leaving. We would recommend Chris without hesitation.
My husband and I were in need of a contractor to remove a load baring wall and install a support beam to widen an entrance in our home. We contacted numerous contractors and Chris Ferragamo was one of the few to get back to us. Chris was able to come the next day to evaluate the project. We told him what we envisioned and our budget for the project. Not only was he the most knowledgeable contractor that came to evaluate the job, he also had the best pricing. When we agreed to move forward he was very accommodating to our schedules. He was able to order the materials and pull the permit that day. His workers came the following week at the time he said they would be there. They were quick, efficient, and polite. Chris followed up that same day to ensure the project went smoothly which it did. We will be using them for future projects.
