Its own site describes the company as licensed and insured, while the Massachusetts registry verifies HIC 201900 as active. The written customer history is strongly positive. Recent 2025 and 2024 reviews praise flood restoration, basement finishing, a custom tile shower, a climate-controlled backyard office, and general renovation work; older 2021 and 2024 accounts also describe clear explanations, flexibility, and repeat-hire intent. Before booking, confirm the exact trade license and project scope for the work proposed, and reconcile the directory timelines: BBB says five years in business while Thumbtack says eight.
