Fuller Brook Enterprises is a Needham general contracting and remodeling business โ a sole proprietorship the Better Business Bureau says has been operating for 31 years, run by Michael Tivoldi (BuildZoom's own profile names the owner Michael Tedoldi). The written record here is thin, but what's on it is serious. In a July 2026 BuildZoom review, a homeowner described a renovation that went badly wrong โ work that deviated from the agreed plans, defective workmanship, water intrusion, and damaged materials โ and said the dispute ended up in court, with the judge ruling in the homeowner's favor rather than the contractor's. On paper, the credentials look steady: BBB gives the company an A+ grade, though it isn't a BBB-accredited business, and BuildZoom shows an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration (#183498, issued October 2025) alongside older Rhode Island and Massachusetts licences BuildZoom has not verified as current. BuildZoom's permit records show two projects over the past three years and place the company in the 20th percentile of Massachusetts contractors on its own scoring system. Anyone considering Fuller Brook should ask directly about the disputed project that went to court and what's changed since โ right now, that homeowner's account is the only third-party word on the actual work, and it's a bad one. Confirm the current licence status and exactly who will be running the job before signing anything.
My experience with Mike Tedoldi was the worst contractor experience Iโve ever had. The project was not completed as promised, the workmanship was a joke and unacceptable. Numerous issues arose that should never occur on a professionally managed renovation. We dealt with work that deviated from the agreed plans, defective workmanship, water intrusion, damaged materials, and repeated concerns that ultimately required additional time, money, and stress to address. Rather than taking responsibility and standing behind his work, Mike chose to take us to court. After hearing the evidence, the court ruled in our favor. That outcome confirmed what we had been saying all along. Hiring a contractor requires trust, honesty, craftsmanship, and accountability. Unfortunately, my experience with Mike Tedoldi lacked all four. I would strongly encourage anyone considering hiring him to do extensive research, verify references, inspect completed projects firsthand, and make sure every detail is documented in writing before signing a contract. I would never hire him again, and I cannot recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, professional contractor.
