Flex Properties is a Boston-based general contractor run by Ben Apreala, offering basement finishes, kitchen and bathroom remodels, additions, ADUs, and full home renovations across Greater Boston and out to Milton, MA. Reviewers keep coming back to the same specifics — finished ahead of schedule, materials picked out together, Ben personally staying reachable throughout.
Across more than 40 Google and Thumbtack reviews from 2024 through this year, homeowners describe similar experiences: in a February 2026 review, one basement finish wrapped up a full week ahead of the projected end date, and an April 2026 Thumbtack review praised how clearly Ben laid out the budget and timeline up front. A January 2025 review described a two-level, 400-square-foot addition where Ben handled the town's permitting himself, and a March 2024 review described a rental-unit bathroom remodel that left tenants pleased.
On Thumbtack, where he holds Top Pro status with a 5.0 average across 37 reviews, homeowners highlight the same reliability for kitchen and bathroom work and exterior decks — a pair of October 2024 reviews described decks built efficiently and to a high standard, and a June 2024 review said an old house's unexpected repairs, including a leaking roof over an addition, got handled along the way.
One customer hired him to finish a basement ahead of a home sale and, in a January 2025 review, described a nearly six-month permit delay from the City of Boston's inspectional office that forced the project to pause — Ben came back and finished the work once it cleared. In an October 2024 review, though, one customer said they were overcharged for the scope of work and found Ben difficult to deal with.
Both his Massachusetts construction supervisor license and his home improvement contractor registration are active and state-verified. Given that account, get a clear written scope and price locked in before signing.
For a basement finish, kitchen or bath remodel, an addition, or an ADU in the Boston area, Flex Properties has a deep, mostly positive track record and two active state licenses — just nail down price and scope in writing up front.
