HJR Construction is a Dedham-based custom home builder and general contractor specializing in high-end new construction, additions, and renovations. The company says it serves Boston and nearby towns — Lexington, Brookline, Needham, Natick, Wellesley, Sharon, and Wayland — and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (HIC #208626) is active on the state registry. On Thumbtack, it holds a 5.0-star rating across five reviews, all five-star, with 49 project photos posted. In 2023 reviews, customers called the work clean and efficient and said they'd hire the crew again. That same year, one customer described a full flood-rebuild — closing up open walls, new insulation, flooring, and a vanity, with a matching ceiling repair — while another said a burst water pipe was fixed by a plumber the same day, with the construction crew finishing the job within a week at a fair price. A third turned an unfinished basement into a home office and workout area. Two of the 2023 reviews name the team lead, Robin, directly, describing the work as professional and efficient. It's also listed on Angi and HomeAdvisor, offering free estimates and Spanish-speaking staff. For a full remodel or new build, get a written contract with a payment schedule tied to project milestones before work begins.
Awesome to work with! Very clean and efficient work. Will be using them again in the near future.
Friendly, responsive and good value. They removed my above the range microwave, replaced it with a range hood and installed the vent required.
It was a pleasure working with Robin and their team. Our water pipe burst and flooded my entire condo. Robin and his team came and fixed everything in a week with a fair price. Their plumber first came over and fixed the leakage in one day, then the construction team came the next day, ripped all the junk off and installed new vanities, put in new insulation, new drywall, new flooring and baseboard.
HJR was a great help to me during the post-flood rebuilding process. They were able to expertly close up the open walls, install new insulation, lay down a new floor, and install a new vanity. Additionally, they skillfully patched up the ceiling to leave it looking as good as new. Thanks to HJR's expertise and professionalism, my home was able to make a full recovery from the damage caused by the flood. I was struck by the speed at which HJR was able to complete the project within 2.5 days, and I'm thoroughly impressed with HJR's work ethic, as they consistently produce satisfactory results without any need for supervision from me. Because of their professionalism and reliability, my work has not been affected in any way. As a customer, I appreciated that HJR understood the importance of completing the project on time, and they delivered on that promise. Jamie was exceptional in communicating with me throughout the project. From the start, Jamie was attentive to my needs and concerns and made sure to keep me updated on the progress of the project. Whenever I had questions or issues, Jamie was quick to respond and resolve them, which made the entire process much smoother and less stressful. The quality of HJR's work was exceptional. The finished product was exactly what I had envisioned and more, and I was impressed by the attention to detail and level of craftsmanship that HJR brought to the project. It was clear that HJR takes pride in their work and is committed to delivering the best possible results for their clients.
Working with Robin was a delight! They were all very professional and efficient. They took our vision of an unfinished basement and transformed it into an elegant living space. They were able to transform a single wide open space into a cozy office, and an encouraging workout room. We are so pleased with the outcome of our basement that at times we forget that we have other floors available. I would (and already have) recommend HJR construction to anyone.
