Finish Masters

Finish Masters works out of 2 Heavenly Way in Billerica and is hired for two related things: general contracting and remodelling on one side, painting on the other. The company's own site describes a construction division handling additions, kitchens, baths and roofing alongside a painting division working residential and commercial jobs across Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and it reports 25 years in business (E462492, E462495). It is registered with the Commonwealth: MA home improvement contractor licence 179923 is registry-verified active, held by Finish Masters Builders Corp (E462650). The people who hired them describe a small operation where the owner is the person on the job. Reviewers name James — James R. Ross, whom the company's own site identifies as founder and president and a U.S. Navy corpsman (E462493) — again and again, and what they praise is consistent: transparency about cost and schedule, and communication that does not stop once the deposit clears. One homeowner wrote in April 2026 that he was "transparent about costs and timelines and was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process", and singled out his care working inside a house with two toddlers (E462566). Another, in July 2025, described him repainting, repairing walls, floors and stairs to get a house market-ready, with pricing set out up front and only minimal changes (E462569). The specific work in the record is varied rather than narrow. A 2025 review describes a new storm door installed with the casing removed and replaced, and rotted wood found and swapped out during the job (E462568). Another from September 2025 covers power washing a deck, house, fence and shed, then painting the deck (E462567). A 2023 review credits them with a kitchen cabinet remodel and with listening through the design (E462571). What to weigh before booking is volume, not tone. Six reviews across four sources between 2023 and 2026 is a thin record for a company reporting 25 years of work, and only one of them lands in the last six months — so the praise is consistent but not deep, and there is nothing here from a dissatisfied customer to balance it against. One review carried on the same profile is plainly about a different company, J. R. Dryer Vent & Air Duct Cleaning Services (E462570), which is worth knowing when reading the star average. The family-owned and veteran-owned descriptions are the company's own words on its own website (E462494, E462460), not a certification. A reasonable fit for a homeowner who wants the owner personally running a mid-sized remodel, exterior or painting job and values being told the schedule straight. Ask for references on a project the size of yours, and confirm the licence number against the state registry.
