Godwin Construction works out of Hanson, taking on big, coordinated jobs across the South Shore — full home renovations, additions, and kitchens rebuilt down to the studs. The same two names keep coming up in reviews: Dan, and his foreman Paul. The written reviews span 2016 to 2020, and the specifics hold up under scrutiny. A 2016 review described a multi-month gut renovation of a South End brownstone, where removing a wall exposed an unexpected load-bearing column — Paul and the framing crew worked out a fix on the spot at no added cost, and the project still finished on schedule. Kitchen work comes up again and again: a 2018 review described moving gas and water lines during a full kitchen renovation, and a 2020 review credited a full renovation of a 1910 Victorian in Roslindale, calling out the subcontractors brought onto the job. There's nothing negative to flag among these reviews, but it's worth knowing the newest one dates to September 2020 — nothing has been posted since, so it's fair to ask about current crew and lead times rather than assume the pace described in these older reviews still holds. For a full renovation, an addition, or a kitchen taken down to the studs, this is a team reviewers credit with staying on budget and handling surprises without drama — worth a call, with a quick check on current availability before locking in a start date.

I worked with Godwin Construction on the full renovation of my 1910 Victorian in Roslindale. I do not think I could have chosen a better contractor. Dan and Paul were always responsive, had great ideas, and employed the best subcontractors! Everything turned out beautifully and the quality of the work was phenomenal. They did everything in the house from renovating existing bathrooms, taking out walls, replacing floors/walls, and building a new master suite. When I had people over who knew more about construction than me, they would go on and on about the quality of the work. It made me feel so proud of my home! I highly recommend these guys for any project - they do great work and keep a sense of humor about it too :-)
We had a kitchen fire and Godwin Construction helped us rebuild and renovate. Price was reasonable. Team was responsive to our needs. We are very happy with the finished project. Would use them again for sure.
My husband and I did a kitchen renovation, including removing a wall and ceiling and moving gas/water lines. Dan and Paul were fantastic to work with. They were both great communicators and kept us informed of timelines and whom to expect at our house on any given day. We felt pricing was definitely reasonable for the amount of work completed and the high quality of the work. I would recommend without hesitation.
If you're lucky enough to get these guys look no further ... Paul is a master at his craft and won't disappoint. The quality and craftsmanship of his work is second to none. I'm looking to bring these guys back for an additional project ... so don't wait!
Godwin Construction was awesome to work with - they delivered an extremely high quality service and product and finished on time. They were very easy to work with from to start to finish. We couldn't be happier with the end result and we have had so many people comment on how amazing our deck and veranda look. We would definitely hire them again for another project and would highly recommend them.
