A December 2023 client wrote that this is the crew they call for everything "from a small repair as replacing a light bulb, to big projects as unit renovations" — and that range is what the reviews keep circling. J General Construction Corp works out of 244 Market St in Brighton, four of the fourteen accounts on file name Junior personally, and BuildZoom lists the owner as Antnio De Souza Jnior. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #213756, is active on the state registry. The jobs people describe are remodeling and finish work. In an April 2023 review, a homeowner's first-floor bathroom was renovated and the crew was called punctual, clean, safe and open to questions. An April 2025 customer had new flooring installed and a condo painted, along with some smaller jobs, and called the cost reasonable. Back in September 2022, a client had a deck and foundation repainted plus minor fixes and described the pricing the same way. How they handle the money side comes up more than once. A December 2024 client on Thumbtack wrote that they were first to respond, came prepared with the correct materials, and that there was no haggling and no unexpected charges. Two Angi reviewers writing in December 2023 both led with how responsive the team was. The Thumbtack profile carries a 2023 Top Pro badge, a passed background check and 23 hires behind its 4.9 from 16 ratings. The profiles themselves do not line up on the basics. Thumbtack says 11 years in business while the Angi and HomeAdvisor pages say 8 years of experience, and the same split shows up on the address — Brighton on BuildZoom and Thumbtack, East Boston on Angi and HomeAdvisor. Those pages also list Spanish, Portuguese and English spoken, which matters if it matters on your job. For a condo refresh — floors, paint, a bathroom, and the punch list that trails behind it — the accounts here describe a crew that turns up prepared and prices without a fight. Before signing, confirm the registration on your contract is #213756 and get the small extras written into the scope alongside the main job.
Junior and his team installed new flooring and painted my condo, along with some other small jobs. I am very happy with the work done. They were very professional and the cost was reasonable. I would highly recommend!
First to respond, very professional, communication was excellent, and came prepared with correct materials. There was no haggling, no unexpected charges or surprises. The job was done with efficiency and it looks perfect! I would not hesitate to use them again.
Excellent team, fast and quality work
Excellent work! I had a great experience with this company, very conscientious and hard working, I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Great experience. Always responsive to requests.
