Verified record
Fix It Once Renovations is a Lexington, MA outfit built around one guy's name and reputation: Nick Ganiatsos, whose five-star average across 30 Google ratings is backed by 26 written reviews that tell almost the same story every time — he shows up, explains what he's doing, and gets it right the first time. The company's own site describes it as a home improvement and remodeling contractor working kitchens, bathrooms, decks, patios, painting, and general repairs across Lexington, Concord, and Winchester. Kitchens and bathrooms are where the specifics pile up. One customer's father agreed to his first kitchen remodel in years because of how patient Nick was through the process; others describe full bathroom overhauls, including one after a leak flooded three floors that Nick fixed completely. Basement finishing shows up too, from a full basement remodel with a bathroom and office to replacing an old, complicated staircase, both described as high quality and closely communicated. Beyond the remodels, the reviews trace a steady stream of exterior and carpentry work — deck restoration, porch repair, a nine-window replacement, an eave-and-fence-panel job finished in a single day, and rotted exterior wood repaired around a house. The written record runs continuously from 2021 through 2026, with six reviews in the last six months, so this isn't early hype that faded. Communication comes up almost as often as craftsmanship — several reviewers point to prompt email and text responses, showing up when promised, and explaining problems in detail before touching anything. A few reviewers mention that for work outside his own trades — roofing came up specifically — Nick brings in other teams he recommends and coordinates rather than doing it himself. Worth asking upfront how a project involving outside trades will be scoped and priced, since that piece runs through a different crew. Fix It Once looks like the right call for a Lexington-area homeowner planning a kitchen or bathroom remodel, or bundling smaller exterior fixes — deck, trim, windows, painting — into one project with a single point of contact. Confirm what's covered directly by Nick's crew versus a recommended subcontractor before signing off on scope and price.

Nick (and his crew) were really amazing. Nick knows his stuff and does what he says he will do. Really quality work, diligent, on time and on task. He is also a very good communicator g(hard to find these days unfortunately). Have nothing but great things to say about Nick and the team members he uses to get the work done - on task, on time and above board. Plus - he’s a good person who is honest and can not recommend enough.
Nick and his crew did a nice job installing a custom-made eave at the front of our home. We added on two projects and unexpectedly ended up with new fence panels. All done in a day and the workmanship is very nice. Nick delivers exactly what he says he will.
Nick and Dimitri repaired and repainted my deck, replaced an exterior door and frame, and painted. All work was very well done. Unexpected problems that were found, were handled with expertise and best practice. I highly recommend Nick and will definitely hire him for future work.
Nick recently fixed a damaged window sill, house trim, and a shed for us. From the beginning it was clear that we could count on him - from prompt email/text responses to arriving when promised and explaining issues in detail so we could understand how they could be addressed and what our options might be. The work came out great and we will absolutely be working with him again in the future.
Nick updated two bathrooms and did some minor work in our kitchen. His work is excellent! Nick's communication, scheduling and work ethic are top notch. The job was done in a timely manner and on budget. We are so happy with the results!
