Confirm credentials — verify current license, insurance, and contracting entity
Gilmartin Darling Group is a Newburyport contractor offering general contracting, remodeling, additions, and a broad range of residential construction services. Its Houzz profile describes projects from smaller renovations to corporate construction and says the team handles on-site project management and follows up after completion.
Three Houzz reviews, all dated in April 2018, describe roofing, a mudroom and bathroom, and work on multiple properties. Reviewers praised workmanship, project management, communication, timeliness, and staying within estimates; one homeowner described extra ice-and-water protection on a low-slope roof, and another said the bathroom and mudroom were completed on time and within budget. These are detailed but older accounts, so ask for recent references for comparable work.
The BBB lists an A+ rating and Massachusetts license number 181152, and identifies KC Exterior Solutions, LLC as an alternate name. The Angi page found during the scan carries KG Exterior Solutions branding while its About text names Gilmartin & Darling Group; the displayed reviews also mention other businesses, so its 4.9 rating and review details should not be treated as clean corroboration.
The contractor may be worth considering for remodeling or larger construction work, especially where project management matters. Confirm the current license and insurance, clarify the contracting entity, and get a written scope, schedule, estimate, and warranty terms before proceeding.

Kevin and Rich did a fantastic job installing our new roof on our old 1872 home. Their crew even used extra ice and water shield to protect a section without much slope, running it across the entire 15x13-foot section and 3 feet up under the siding. The roofing guys were there promptly at 7 am and finished by 6pm. And Kevin was responsive from start to finish (and beyond - he called a few months later to make sure we were still happy with the job). I would recommend them without hesitation!
I am a real state broker that has used the Gilmartin Darling Group on multiple occasions for my own properties as well has referred them to numerous clients. They work very professionally and in a timely manner. They do a great job at managing expectations and keeping with timelines and estimates. I also am impressed with the array of jobs big or small that they do at an exceptional level. I would highly recommend their services.
The mudroom and bathroom project was beautifully completed, professionally managed on time and within budget by a fabulous team. What else can I say? Rich and Kevin were so easy to work with and handled my idiosyncrasies with wonderful patience and responsiveness.
