Verified record
Friendly Home Improvement is a one-person, owner-operated remodeling business based in Acushnet, run by Arthur Pierce — its own HomeAdvisor page dates it to 2000, while the Better Business Bureau records it starting in 2003. Between 2019 and 2020, five reviews across Houzz and HomeAdvisor described a range of work — porch boards, replacement windows, a full roof, a total bathroom gut — as fair, honest, and clean, with one reviewer noting the owner, a veteran, stayed on site working alongside the crew. The more recent record raises real questions. In a 2022 review, a customer described a $140,000 whole-house remodel with dormers and a porch left unfinished after being paid in full, calling the work hack work. Around the same time, BuildZoom flagged that it could not verify an active license for the business, and as of 2026 the BBB lists the company as possibly out of business, with no current rating. Confirm the business is still actively operating and ask to see a current, verifiable license before signing anything.

Do not hire them. Constant lying and deceit. All hack work and refuses to finish after being paid in full. My worst experience ever.
They were excellent, did a great job, very nice, on time.
I have had Friendly Home Improvements do numerous jobs for my house, from replacing boards on my porch, replacement windows, my roof, to a total bathroom gut. They are fair and always upfront and honest. They are the only contractor i will use.
It was very good. He did a very good work. He was conscientious. He was there on time when he said he was gonna be there.
It was very good. They were very neat and clean. The owner was on site the whole time working with the crew, which was nice. He was also a military. I was very happy with the service.
