## The honest read

Idr Construction Inc is a Grove Hall-based general contractor that homeowners across the Boston area call for kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, and the occasional new roof, and the write-ups it collects keep circling back to one name: Ian. Its BBB profile puts it at ten years in business, run out of a small office with a handful of employees.

The strongest thread in its reviews is renovation work. Customers describe Ian and his crew finishing a kitchen remodel with a layout that "feels open and practical" and daily cleanup, and two separate bathroom renovations where he guided material and fixture selection and stayed responsive when problems came up mid-project. One customer even called IDR in to finish a kitchen a previous contractor had abandoned, installing cabinets, sealing the countertop, and wiring in a vent fan. On the roofing side, one homeowner had a full roof replaced in two days and said so plainly: "love it."

The record isn't spotless. A 2021 review describes a scheduled quote visit for a deck build that IDR simply never showed up for, with no call to explain or reschedule. A 2022 review from someone who says he subcontracted for the company paints a harsher picture of how work and crews were managed, though it comes from an insider rather than a homeowner client. And a 2025 write-up on a demolition-industry site describes a Brookline-area project where the contractor said permit and utility-disconnection problems were honest mistakes, with the homeowners temporarily displaced while things got sorted out — worth asking about directly if a project touches demolition or utility work.

Idr Construction Inc isn't BBB-accredited and BBB hasn't issued it a letter grade, but Google shows a strong track record — 4.5 stars across 46 ratings — and its one BBB review on file, about a roof job, is similarly positive. Anyone hiring for a full kitchen or bath remodel can go into it reasonably confident based on the reviews; it's worth confirming scheduling commitments up front and asking directly how a project involving permits or demolition would be handled, given the one account that didn't go smoothly.

**Strengths:**
- Kitchen remodels — smart layouts and on-schedule finishes reviewers keep citing
- Bathroom renovations — responsive, solution-oriented work through project hiccups
- Fast roof turnaround — a full roof replaced in two days

**Concerns:**
- Missed quote appointment — a 2021 review reports a no-show with no follow-up
- Subcontractor criticism — a 2022 review faults crew and work-quality management
- Demolition project dispute — a 2025 article cites permit and utility mishaps
