J. Burgess Construction is a one-man-led crew out of Plymouth that Jon Burgess has run since 2015, working kitchens, bathrooms, additions, ADUs, decks, siding and basement remodels across the South Shore and Cape Cod — Plymouth, Kingston, Duxbury, Carver, Bourne and Falmouth. He holds an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration under the company name and an active Massachusetts construction supervisor license in his own name, both verified against the state registry.
The 18 reviews on file, spanning 2022 through early 2026, are unanimously five stars, and the same handful of things keep coming up: Jon calls back, shows up when he says he will, and explains what he's found before deciding how to fix it. Basement finishing is a recurring job — reviewers describe him walking them through design decisions and staying patient through town permitting delays and family scheduling conflicts. Other jobs on record include a full second-floor bathroom remodel with tile work, a deck build one customer called fair-priced and honestly built, and, on an ocean-front property, removing two windows and opening a wall for a slider installation. In a 2023 review, a family that had recently moved to Plymouth said he had someone at their house the same day a storm caused a roof leak.
He's also taken on smaller jobs outside the usual remodeling scope — one customer had him install a new electric meter on short notice, and at least two reviewers use him for winter plowing, with one saying he stepped in reliably after a previous plow company stopped answering calls.
There's no documented complaint anywhere across this track record, which for an owner-operator working this many different job types over four years is itself notable. The main thing to know going in: with one person running the crew and the business, availability can be the constraint — one reviewer joked about not wanting to compete with other homeowners for his time, so book ahead for anything with a timeline. For a range of remodeling work anywhere on the South Shore or the Cape, this is a well-documented, dual-licensed choice with a long, consistent record.
