Julio & Son Construction

When a bathroom had to be rebuilt after water damage in March 2026, what the homeowner singled out wasn't the tile — it was that Julio's crew worked through the insurance requirements alongside them, and that the finished room looked just as it had before. That is the shape of the work here: Julio & Son Construction is a New Bedford general contractor, founded and run by Julio De Souza Jr., taking on residential and light-commercial jobs — remodels, additions, decks and porches, build-outs — across the South Coast. The written accounts run from 2020 to 2026. Google shows 5.0 stars from 17 ratings, and the Angi profile, mirrored on HomeAdvisor, shows 5.0 from four. A June 2026 customer said the company stuck to its quote through a set of mid-project changes and worked with both the town and the architect's plans. In December 2025, a homeowner with damaged wood floors described Julio and his manager Ryan coming out to measure and walk them through what they were going to do; an Angi reviewer the same month called the crew clean and organized. The other specifics are smaller work on properties around the region: apartment floors and kitchen cabinets in December 2025, a cottage painted in May 2025, a house renovated "just the way I wanted" in a November 2023 review. The service area the company gives itself is wide — New Bedford, Acushnet, Dartmouth and Fall River, but also Quincy, Braintree and Weymouth to the north and Barnstable, Hyannis, Falmouth and Sandwich on the Cape — so confirm your town before you count on them for a small job. For a renovation, an addition, or a rebuild you will be running through an insurer, Julio & Son is a sensible South Coast call. Ask who is running your job day to day — Julio or Ryan — and put in the quote how mid-project changes get priced.
