Gilgun Group is a Woburn remodeling outfit that keeps coming up for one thing above all: transformed basements. Across dozens of Google reviews stretching back to 2022, homeowners describe unfinished or dingy basements becoming the room they actually use — a bonus space, a family room, sometimes with a full bath added in. The company is co-owned by David Gilgun and Jesse Cammarata and says on its site it serves Woburn and the surrounding towns — Stoneham, Somerville, Wakefield, Waltham, Malden, Medford, Burlington, Reading, Winchester, Watertown and Everett. The written record is unusually consistent: 48 Google reviews from 2022 through 2026, every one five stars. Basement remodels dominate, but kitchen and bathroom renovations show up just as often — a half bath converted into a full bath with a walk-in shower, a bathroom tub swapped for a step-in shower with custom glass doors, a full kitchen finished in eight working days. Several reviewers single out the finish carpentry specifically: custom staircases, new railings, and in one case a shoe cabinet built and delivered in a day. Jesse Cammarata is named repeatedly for fast texts and steady updates through each job. Activity has settled to a lighter pace recently, with two reviews in the past six months, but neither raises a complaint. There's nothing to flag in the written record itself — no dispute, no unresolved job, no licensing issue. The company holds an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration under Gilgun Group, LLC. What the reviews don't spell out is pricing detail beyond a few callouts of a "reasonable" quote, so get a written estimate before committing. For a full remodel — basement, kitchen, or bathroom — in the towns north and west of Boston it lists as its service area, this is a company reviewers keep calling back for repeat work. Confirm current scheduling and get the scope in writing before signing on.
I had the pleasure of working with Jesse Cammarata when he bought my house. He was so pleasant and extremely helpful with the whole process. He definitely put my mind at ease and helped me every step of the way. He even came with me to look over the house I was purchasing to make sure everything was good. I would definitely recommend Jesse and the Gilgun group to anyone who is considering selling their home. The Gilgun group is professional and dedicated to the people they work with.
Jesse Cammarata and the Gilgun Group truly do not disappoint! Jesse is one of those people you meet and instantly trust—he’s personable, reliable, compassionate, and most importantly, honest (which goes a long way in this business). As a realtor, I refer him to my clients all the time and I do it with total confidence because I know he’s going to take great care of them and do an amazing job. And honestly, it says a lot that my family and I use him for our own construction needs too ❤️ He’s not your typical builder—he really cares, and it shows in everything he does. If you’re thinking about working with him, don’t hesitate… you’ll be so glad you did!
I used Gilgun group to refinish my basement. We had sump pump failure. I enjoyed working with Jesse and Jordan. The subcontractors (for insulation, dry wall/plaster, painting, electrical, plumbing) were all professional and did a good job. Jesse is organized and listens to all concerns and comes up with solutions to problems. Jordan does a great job with the floors, trim, etc. Overall, my wife and I are very pleased with the finished product and wouldn’t hesitate to use Gilgun group again or recommend them to anyone else.
We were referred to Gilgun Group by our realtor, a trusted friend, and we are so grateful for the recommendation. After purchasing our new home, we had a few immediate projects in mind, including rebuilding our main staircase and adding a built-in fireplace with a mantle in our living room. From the start, Jesse was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and reassuring that Gilgun Group could bring our vision to life. He provided valuable input and stayed involved throughout the process, frequently checking in and visiting our home to ensure everything was going smoothly. Then there’s Jordan—the incredibly talented carpenter who made our ideas a reality. His craftsmanship is truly next-level, exceeding our expectations in every way. His keen attention to detail and thoughtful recommendations helped shape our project into something even better than we imagined. One of the most impressive features he created was a hidden pullout drawer underneath the staircase, maximizing our storage in a way we hadn’t even thought of. He worked efficiently without ever compromising quality, and it was clear that he takes great pride in his work. We couldn’t be happier with the results and will absolutely be working with Jesse and Jordan again for future home projects. If you’re looking for a reliable, skilled, and professional team, we highly recommend Gilgun Group!
What a wonderful experience during a stressful time. From start to finish, all employees were professional, knowledgeable and honest. Would highly recommend!!
