# Insight Construction, Inc. **Trade:** General Contractor / Remodeling · **Phone:** (617) 637-3331 · **Website:** https://www.insightconstructioninc.com/ · **Languages:** English, Spanish **Rating: 3.1/5** (low confidence) — from 3 reviews across 4 sources. ## The honest read Insight Construction says it's been rebuilding Boston homes for more than 20 years — kitchens, bathrooms, additions, decks, roofing and siding, with a Roslindale mailing address on file. The name that keeps surfacing in its record is Erica Torres, whose Massachusetts construction supervisor license is active with the state alongside the company's own home improvement contractor registration — both verified, not just claimed. The clearest picture of their actual work comes from a 2019 Angi review describing a full upper-deck rebuild on a Boston triple-decker: Erica got in touch quickly, gave an honest quote, and the crew tore out and rebuilt the deck in four days flat without leaving a mess behind. A shorter 2020 review calls the experience good without much detail. The same year brought a sharply different account: a customer calling the company sketchy, saying mistakes got downplayed, follow-up never came, and the owner was hard to reach. Worth asking about directly. All three written reviews on file date to 2019 and 2020 — nothing more recent has surfaced to say whether that pattern held. For a deck build or similar carpentry project where Erica Torres is on the job personally, the dated track record points to fast, careful work. Confirm who's actually running your project and get the scope and timeline in writing before signing. **Strengths:** - Deck rebuild praise — a 2019 review cited a fast, honest four-day job - Active dual licensing — HIC and CSL both verified active with the state **Concerns:** - 2020 sketchiness complaint — a customer cited downplayed mistakes and no follow-up - Reviews run 2019 to 2020 — nothing more recent on file to confirm current practice **Where sources disagree:** - Angi and HomeAdvisor show the same 3.5-star rating and the same three reviews — a syndicated copy of one record, not two independent sources ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://contractorhub.mass.gov/s/hic-contractor-search) — “MA hic license 194411 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: Insight Construction, Inc.” - Its construction supervisor license, held by Erica Torres, is active with the state _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://madpl.mylicense.com/Verification/) — “MA csl license CS-115212 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: ERICA TORRES” - Self-reports more than 20 years in business in Boston, offering kitchens, bathrooms, additions, decks, roofing, siding and whole-home renovations _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://www.insightconstructioninc.com) — “Insight Construction, Inc. is a Boston, MA-based residential remodeling and construction company offering kitchens, bathrooms, additions, de…” - [Official Website](https://www.insightconstructioninc.com) — “Self-reported 20 years in business” - In a 2019 review, a homeowner described a full upper-deck rebuild on a Boston triple-decker completed in four days with a quick, honest quote _(confidence: medium)_ - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/boston/insight-construction-inc-reviews-84765864.htm) — “5★ We removed and rebuilt the upper deck on our triple-decker in the city, Insight is best in class, would hire them again!
