J.A. Proia Carpentry, doing business as J.A. Proia General Contractor, is a Stoughton, Massachusetts general contractor built around full-scale renovations — tear-downs, new builds, kitchen and bath remodels, whole-home renovations, excavation and site work, utility installation, and decks, working across the Greater Boston area. It's owner-operated, led by Joe Proia, who the company says works directly with clients from the first site walk through the final punch list. Houzz reviews from 2014, 2016, and 2017 all gave the company 5 stars. A 2017 review described a remodel gutting six rooms — opening walls for a more open layout, new insulation, new windows, new interior and exterior doors, a new roof, updated electrical and plumbing, and new carpet and hardwood floors. A 2016 review described a gut renovation that ran nearly three years, calling the craftsmanship and attention to detail top notch. A 2014 review called the work sites clean and the craftsmanship excellent, and noted the company also does excavating. BuildZoom shows 28 projects for the company, and Houzz has given it a Houzz Award and Houzz Badge, named it Best of Houzz in 2018, and it's been featured in New England Home Magazine. Its Construction Supervisor license number 066800 appears on its own website, Houzz, and BuildZoom. Its Houzz profile lists a Newton address, while the company's own site gives Stoughton — worth confirming which is current. This is a strong call for a substantial gut renovation or whole-home remodel; ask for recent references, since the written record here runs 2014 to 2017, and confirm the address and current license status directly.

We hired JA Proia Carpentry to do a remodel job that included gutting 6 rooms, opening walls to create a more open concept, insulation, new windows, new doors(interior and exterior), new roof, upgrade electrical, upgrade plumbing, install carpet and hardwood floors. Joe and all the people that worked on my home were pleasant and professional. Work was completed as agreed upon. We knew that some things were uncertain at the start of the job as it is a 100 year old house but as things arose, Joe pointed out the different options as to how we could proceed and always outlined the financial impact of any changes. Overall, I can honestly say that I would not change a thing. It was great to hear from the different inspectors that came through what a great job he had done as well.
I spent nearly three years working with Joe and his team while they gut renovated my home. Joe is extremely professional, experienced, reliable and responsive. His craftsmanship and attention to detail is top notch. My project was very long and extremely complicated and Joe rose to every one of the many challenges thrown his way. My renovation, included a new kitchen, reworking the entire first floor, new electrical, HVAC, eliminating a staircase, creating a master suite, new windows, 5 new bathrooms, new stand alone garage ~ a residential renovation could not have included more pieces and the finished product exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Joe and his staff.
Extremely professional. Very clean work sites. Excellent craftsmanship. Established business specializing in home renovations and new construction. Also does excavating. A great source for anyone looking for a skilled carpenter/builder company.
