Ferrante Construction

Ferrante Construction is a Bedford, MA outfit that builds new custom homes and additions, and does site work and excavation — the kind of jobs its BuildZoom permit history backs up, with 39 permitted projects ranging from small weatherization work up to an $800,000 new-home build. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor license, 201149, is registry-verified active, and BuildZoom separately lists an active Construction Supervisor license for the owner, Rosario Ferrante. The written record is thin and split. A 2025 review from a repeat customer said he'd done three projects with the company with no problems. But two other 2025 reviews make a serious, specific allegation: that Ferrante charges a flat supervisor fee on top of marked-up subcontractor bids, pocketing the difference — one calls it "a scam." A fourth 2025 review, separate from the work itself, describes an incident of reckless driving in a company-marked truck. Before calling, it's worth pressing for a clear, itemized breakdown of subcontractor costs given the overcharging allegations, and getting a firm written scope before work starts. The company's own site claims over 50 years of heritage and 25+ years of experience, though its Angi profile self-reports 40 years — worth asking which figure is accurate. Ferrante is a fit for someone doing a ground-up build or major site work who does the diligence up front — references, a fixed-scope contract, and transparent subcontractor pricing in writing before signing.
