Kearns Construction, based in West Wareham, MA, calls itself "a small general contracting company" that specializes in "custom homes and high end finish work," and says it handles everything "from foundations to roofing." Its website lists bathroom and kitchen remodeling, home additions, gutters and siding, and names Newton, Boston, Brookline and Wareham as its service area. In a 2015 review, a customer wrote that they hired Josh to build a deck, install a fence and build a shed, and called the pricing very reasonable. In a 2014 review, a customer wrote that Josh Kearns had performed many repairs on their home in Wareham over the previous four years, including roof repairs, roof shingling of the garage, a basement bulkhead replacement, a deck glass sliding door replacement and replacement of all the house windows. In a separate 2014 review, a customer who met them on client job sites said Josh's crew was professional and did "amazingly-detailed work" on client jobs, and that the reviewer had also used them to renovate an office space. The same 2014 review said they respected the house and left it clean. Massachusetts construction supervisor licence CS-080038, in the name of Joshua M Kearns, is active on the state registry. The company's home improvement contractor registration, in the name of Kearns Construction, Inc, is expired on the state registry.
We hired Josh to build a deck install a fence and build our shed. What a fantastic job they did. We love our deck and the fence is perfect. Not only are they professional and very knowledgeable, there pricing is great and very reasonable. We plan on building an awning over our beautiful deck and will be hiring Josh to do it. We highly recommended Kearns construction.
I met the guys at Kearns Construction on a job site for a very discerning client. I then happened to work with them again on a second job for an equally discerning client about a year later. On these jobs there was a project manager who oversaw the project but Josh's crew was professional, did amazingly-detailed work. I used them when I renovated my office space for my interior design business and they are going to do some work at my house before this coming winter. I have used them for other clients since the jobs mentioned above, and everyone has been happy! Guys all speak English, respect the house (no one is smoking and they leave the house clean) and they are trustworthy and nice.
Mr. Josh Kearns has performed many repairs on my home in Wareham over the last four years. These in include: 1. Roof repairs on house and roof shingling of garage. 2. Basement bulkhead replacement. 3. Deck glass sliding door replacement. 4. Window replacement on all house windows. He is a true craftsman doing quality work with a clear understanding of time requirements, extremely helpful in choosing the materials that work best for me and respectful of my budget. I do not use any one else for my home repairs or upgrades and highly recommend him.
