# J. DiChiara & Sons, Inc.

**Trade:** Bathroom Remodel · **Address:** 327 Central St, Saugus, MA 01906, USA · **Phone:** (781) 233-9105 · **Website:** https://www.jdichiarasons.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 4.0/5** (low confidence) — from 4 reviews across 6 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.

## The honest read

J. DiChiara & Sons has sold and installed kitchen and bathroom cabinetry and countertops out of Saugus since 1971, when Joseph and Jacqueline DiChiara founded it; their son Mike now runs it with more than 40 years with the company. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and it carries a BBB A+ rating plus a Houzz Award with a perfect Houzz rating.

In a 2026 review, a homeowner described a straightforward countertop replacement with Mike and his team as a great experience. In a 2024 review, another customer credited Mike with competitive pricing and hands-on help sourcing the exact Schrock cabinets they wanted, even for a very small project, and said they'd want to work with him again on a future kitchen.

A solid, long-tenured choice specifically for cabinetry and countertop work in the Saugus area — the reviews on file are few but consistently positive across more than a decade.

**Strengths:**
- Countertop work — straightforward replacement praised as a great experience
- Cabinet sourcing — helped a customer order the exact Schrock cabinets wanted
- Long tenure — family-run cabinetry and countertop business since 1971
- Small jobs welcomed — helped source pieces for a very small project
