Fotis Construction & Remodeling has been doing plumbing, heating and general contracting out of Belmont for a long time — the company says over 30 years, and Better Business Bureau records put its incorporation at October 1998, 27 years ago, under owner Thomas Fotis. The work itself skews heavily toward the mechanical trades — furnace and boiler service, heat pump installations, gas fitting — alongside kitchen and bathroom remodels and general construction across Middlesex County and Metro Boston.
The reviews on file describe exactly that mix. In a December 2025 review, a rental-property owner said the team serviced a gas furnace promptly and at a high standard, recommending them for HVAC, construction, or remodeling work. In an October 2025 review, a homeowner who had an air source heat pump installed called the crew professional, respectful of the property, and skilled at the ductwork and venting. And in an April 2025 review, a client said a water heater boiler got replaced within two hours, with the crew cleaning up afterward. A fourth, older review from July 2024 is more of a loyalty note from a longtime customer, without describing a specific job.
The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #126608, is active and verified against the state registry. Its BuildZoom profile, built from building-permit records, backs up the pattern in the reviews: a BuildZoom Score of 109, in the 95th percentile of Massachusetts contractors, with 283 permits on file and roughly 70 filed in the last three years — mostly kitchen remodels plus a steady stream of plumbing, gas, and heat-pump work around Belmont, Brookline, Malden, and Newbury. BBB gives the business an A+ rating, though it isn't a BBB Accredited Business.
One thing worth asking about: BuildZoom's license history also carries a few older Massachusetts registrations — an earlier home improvement contractor number, a plumbing business number, and a pipefitter master number — listed as inactive or cancelled. That sits alongside the currently active, verified registration, so it likely reflects past licenses being replaced over three decades in business rather than anything current, but it's worth confirming which number is on the paperwork for a given job.
For anyone in the Belmont, Watertown, or Arlington area needing HVAC or plumbing work done alongside a kitchen or bath project, the reviews and permit history point to a shop used to juggling both — just confirm the license number quoted for the job matches the active #126608.
