Gallagher Remodeling is a Belmont, Massachusetts design-build remodeler that has been run by president Roger Gallagher since 1986 — the Better Business Bureau, which has accredited the firm since 1995 and gives it an A+ rating, confirms the four-decade history. The company focuses on kitchens, bathrooms, additions, attic conversions, decks and historic-home work across Belmont, Newton, Cambridge and nearby towns west of Boston. Public building-permit records tracked by BuildZoom show 33 completed, permitted projects, nine of them in the last two years, with several recent Belmont jobs valued between $150,000 and $447,000 — a notably higher typical project size than most remodelers. The written-review side is thinner: Houzz shows four five-star ratings, but only two are from actual homeowners. In a 2018 review, a client says Gallagher "transformed my dark and dreary kitchen into a sparkling modern space," and a 2014 review from another repeat client praises the crew's organization and attention to detail across several projects on the home. The other two Houzz entries are from design professionals who partnered with the firm rather than hired it — one, a fellow designer, describes providing design services alongside Roger Gallagher since 2004. Houzz has given the company five "Contractor of the Year" awards between 2010 and 2019, including Best Residential Kitchen and Best Residential Exterior in its most recent year. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 127684, is active with the state; a separate number the business publishes in its own Houzz business details, 044121, is actually an inactive Newton municipal registration according to other directories, so it's worth confirming the state number directly rather than relying on that listing. Gallagher looks like the right call for a whole-room, design-build renovation — a kitchen, a bathroom, or an addition — in the Belmont/Newton corridor, though with only two verifiable homeowner reviews on file, it's worth asking for recent references given how few are published.
I could not be more thrilled with Roger Gallagher and his crew. He transformed my dark and dreary kitchen into a sparkling modern space, and every time I walk into it, I can't believe how beautiful it is. I was so pleased with my kitchen that I expanded the scope of my reno to include replacing carpet with wood floors in my living and dining room. Roger was always reliable, efficient, and highly professional. Plus he is warm and has a sense of humor that actually made the renovation fun. He walked me through every step of the process so there were never any surprises. He was always available by phone for questions, and his workers were skilled and also very reliable. I would give Roger 10 stars if I could. He is first rate.
I highly recommend working with Gallagher Remodeling for a project of any size. We have been working with Roger Gallagher providing design services since 2004. Some aspects worth noting that have been consistent through the years working with Roger are a number of things; The level of communication, the quality of the work, the level of detail and clarity, and the overall integrity this firm exudes. Gallagher Remodeling is a professional design/build firm that I am personally pleased to be associated with and look forward to working with for years to come!
Gallagher Remodeling does quality work; they are smart builders; very organized; and great at setting visions and expectations with their clients. They offer a wide range of services including interior design, and being one of their preferred designers, I find that they are extremely accommodating to the needs and demands that I ask of them. I design things, and they just make it happen -- its a great partnership.
Gallagher Remodeling has done several projects on our home and we've been very happy with the results. Roger and his team are wonderful to work with. Their work is always high quality and they pay attention to details. Renovations are always disruptive to live through, but Roger and his team are very respectful and orderly and do their best to minimize the inconvenience. We always felt that we were in good hands!
