KAMP Construction is a Carver, Massachusetts general contractor working across the South Shore on high-end residential new builds, remodels and historic-home restorations alongside commercial new construction and fit-outs. The company says Paul Rodrigues started it in January 2013 — after graduating Old Colony Vocational High School in 1987, serving in the Naval Construction Battalion from 1990 until an honorable discharge in 1993, and then running Atlantic Properties' construction division for ten years — and named it after the members of his family. The BBB lists the corporation as started in 2013 with ten employees, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 174219, is verified active with the state registry in the company's own name. The strongest objective signal is the permit record. BuildZoom lists twelve permitted projects and scores the company 112, which it places in the top 3% of Massachusetts licensed contractors. Those permits skew commercial and South Shore: two 2023 alterations for the Gunther Tooties fit-out on Court Street in Plymouth at $200,000 each, a 2021 tenant fit-out and 2022 roof replacement on Resnik Road in Plymouth, a 2020 dental-office fit-out at the same address, plus residential work including a new 1,792 sq ft home in Scituate in 2019 and a $260,000 Hingham addition in 2016. In 2018 the Patriot Ledger reported Rodrigues presenting a Greenbush store plan to the Scituate Design Review Committee. The written customer record is thin and pulls in two directions. In a February 2015 review a homeowner described a 2,000 sq ft in-law addition built onto a 3,600 sq ft house, credited the company for performing much of the work with its own people while managing subs, and named the owner and the on-site manager as a strong team — while faulting scheduling, saying the job ran six to seven weeks longer than expected. In June 2026 a repeat client called the quality unmatched and listed commercial and residential jobs, pantries, a laundry room, bathrooms, custom wood floors and additions. Against that, a homeowner writing in November 2023 said the company built their house in 2020 and installed a dumbwaiter, that no permit was applied for, that the unit failed in June 2023, and that the manufacturer would not supply parts because it had not been installed by a certified technician. A second 2023 review said only "Not professional". Google's own average sits at 1.8 stars from five ratings, well below Houzz's 4.0, BuildZoom's 5.0 and Porch's 4.6. KAMP is worth a look for a South Shore homeowner or commercial owner wanting a licensed builder with real permitted volume — but get every element of the job on a filed permit in writing, and ask directly about the 2023 dumbwaiter complaint and the Google rating before signing.
“At a meeting of the Scituate Design Review Committee Tuesday, Paul Rodrigues, the president of KAMP Construction, outlined plans to bring a new store to 52 Country Way similar to a Gunther Tooties Pembroke store. Rodrigues said the building's footprint will remain the same, but the old structure will be torn down and a two-story building will replace it. There will be 16 seats and a kitchen with a look-through window so visitors can see food being made. ... There will also be a drive through. The site plan ... approved in June. ... The building that will be torn down was previously the home of”
“Kamp built a 2000sf in-law addition onto an existing 3600sf home.”
The best in the business. Quality is unmatched. Paul and Mike are a great team from start to finish. They have built commercial projects. Residential projects. Pantry’s, a Laundry room, bathrooms and complete custom wood floors. Additions on my home. I would highly recommend Kamp construction.
In 2020, we hired KAMP construction to build us a house. We asked if he could put in a dumbwaiter. He said yes. The dumbwaiter broke down in June 2023 when we were sending up groceries. Another contractor came and helped us get our groceries out. We have been in touch with Paul constantly to find out there is nothing he can do. He didn't apply for a permit to put the dumbwaiter in, and the town inspector didn't catch it. Precision Lift Industries who manufactured the dumbwaiter will not send us the parts to fix it because it was not installed by a certified technician. Ameriglide whom we bought from does not service Massachusetts. We have talked to everyone about this from Boston to Canada and no one will touch the dumbwaiter. KAMP'S logo, "We do the difficult at once, the impossible might take a bit longer ". We are out a lot of money because of KAMP construction so buyer beware.

Kamp built a 2000sf in-law addition onto an existing 3600sf home. They perform much of the work with their own people and manage subs for contracted work. The project came out as good as we had hoped it would. Paul (owner) and Mark (onsite manager) make an excellent team. They listened to our requirements, made helpful suggestions and followed through to assure a quality product. The only thing I would fault them on was scheduling. The project took 6-7 weeks longer than expected. Some of that delay was caused because leads times on some items (cabinets, granite, etc.) were longer than expected and, had we known, we could have made our selections earlier in the process. (We were novices to construction projects and could have benefited from regular schedule reviews.) Overall, it has been a very positive experience and we would certainly recommend KAMP to anyone considering a build or remodel.
