Fontes Builders INC

Fontes Builders INC — also listed as Fontes Construction — is a one-person general contracting operation in Groveland, Massachusetts, run by owner Kevin Fontes for eight years as of its BBB filing. Homeowners hire him for additions, remodels, decks, and door and window replacement, and the reviews on file make clear it's Kevin himself doing the work and answering the phone. The clearest thing here is consistency: HomeAdvisor shows a perfect 5.0 rating from 9 reviews, and every one quoted tells a similar story. In a 2024 review, a customer said Kevin "communicated well, arrived when he said he would and performed quality work at a reasonable price." A 2021 review described hiring him to rework dryer ventilation and called him knowledgeable and polite. Further back, a 2019 review called him "the consummate professional" for staying on schedule, and a 2020 review specifically praised him for walking through material choices — in that case, PVC — before the work began. Worth knowing before you call: the written reviews on file run from 2019 to 2024, so the newest is nearly two years old, with nothing more recent on record. The business carries an A+ Better Business Bureau rating but hasn't sought BBB accreditation. Two different license numbers show up across directories — a Massachusetts Board of Building Regulations and Standards number on BBB (#188758) and a separate trade license on HomeAdvisor (#218399, expiring in 2028) — which is normal when a company and its licensed individual are tracked separately, but it's still worth confirming the current number directly. This looks like a reasonable call for a homeowner in the Groveland area planning a deck, door replacement, or a modest addition, especially if a small, owner-run operation with a clean multi-year record is what you want — just confirm current availability and licensing before booking, since the most recent written account on file predates 2025.
