Gonzatino Home Improvement is a small Boston crew — 4 employees, 11 years in business per its Thumbtack profile — that homeowners keep calling back to for the same person, David, whether the job is a full water-damage rebuild or a same-day repair. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, held under the name Gonzatino Home Improvement and Painting LLC, has expired. Water damage repair is the clearest thread through the reviews: a 2025 review describes David reconstructing a house after water damage and walking the homeowner through the insurance cost breakdown, a 2023 review describes wood and molding repair plus painting on a Victorian office building, and another from the same year describes re-plastering a kitchen ceiling — with recessed lighting added — after an upstairs pipe burst. A 2024 review describes a bigger project: a kitchen renovation with a bathroom added next to it, with David pulling the permit faster than the homeowner expected. Elsewhere, reviews describe a rotten wood plate replaced within 24 hours of the first call and a payment plan worked out for a multi-month project that turned up mold, leaks, and fire ants along the way. Thumbtack shows a 4.7-star average from 49 ratings, and its profile notes that at least one reviewer found the pricing on the higher side. For a water-damage repair or an unglamorous fix that needs someone responsive, the reviews here make a strong case — just confirm the registration is current before signing a larger contract.
David and his team helped me with reconstruction our house after water damage. He provided a quote that was reasonable that didn't make me shop around. And he was prompt at starting the work. He also helped me with all the questions, and cost breakdown information from the insurance company to cover my losses. He also gave an advice that I didn't know that I had to ask for liability insurance from anyone that does work in my home. It was a great advice that I have been following since then.
I worked with David for months. He has a sharp eye for finding issues such as mold, leaks, and fire ants. He has many people working for him and can come up with business ideas that have a lot of upside potential. David was willing to work out a payment plan with me and was able to accept some credit card payments as well.
I had to replace a rotten wooden plate behind the landing of my main door. The rotted wood became a blocker to finish my project. David responded within minutes and was able to complete the entire task in < 24 hrs. This resulted in 0 impact to my project. The work was also very well done. I thought he was a bit expensive but the quality of work and the timely response more than paid for itself.
i called David and he came out a day later to give me a quote on doing my kitchen and adding a bathroom right next to it. He told me he could do it and we both agreed on the quote. I was surprised at how quick he pulled the permit david and his guys did great Work over the three weeks he was there. I will be calling him again in a year or so to remodel my 2nd floor.
David did a great job at communicating, he showed up weekly and helped out where he could help us out with extra stuff. We love our new kitchen and our new bathroom.
