Kenneth Pacheco General Carpentry is a Fall River carpentry and construction company, and a 2026 reviewer who purchased a "Pacheco" new construction home in Fall River in 2011 ended with "Be warned." That 2026 customer listed basement leaks in the floor and walls with no sump pump, dryer venting with six 90s in a 10-foot run, 20-amp breakers with 15-amp plugs, sheetrock screws that were not sunk properly, and a roof with no fire and ice and no ridge vent. The same customer wrote that the issues were "just poor workmanship." Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 117230, is active on the state registry in the name of Kenneth Pacheco General Carpentry, Inc. The Better Business Bureau gives the company an A+ grade and lists it as accredited. The company's website says it was established in 1993 and describes general contracting, remodeling, additions, new construction, roofing, siding and carpentry in Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. A 2025 Google reviewer said a 42-by-24-foot deck was rebuilt by Ken Pacheco and his team Bill and Ralph, with no break in construction over 3 weeks and an estimate the customer called detailed. A 2025 customer wrote that Ken did their roof and gutters. In 2023, a customer credited Joe P., named as General Contractor for K. Pacheco, with a clear proposal and contract on a very difficult addition and remodel. A 2023 reviewer described a new front porch, from framing to final finishing, and thanked Bill and Lou. A 2024 Google reviewer wrote that their girlfriend's large house renovation took almost 2 years to begin after a sizable down payment and another year to complete. That 2024 reviewer also said they never knew when workers would show up, and warned of trash, cigarette butts and half-empty cans left all over the place, including the driveway. In 2021, a customer wrote that they spent $1000 to replace a door installed two years earlier on a six-figure remodel, and that Joe P. said he would get back with an estimate for the repair and never did. A 2018 BuildZoom reviewer reported drinking on the job, shoddy work and damage to property, and wrote that complaints were ignored. A 2017 BuildZoom reviewer called the workmanship poor. In a 2015 BuildZoom review, a whole-house remodel was described as poor quality and unfinished, and the reviewer said it required an attorney general complaint.

Purchased a "Pacheco" new construction home in Fall River 2011. Don't be fooled and thinking that it's a new house, what problems could I have... Here is a list. Basement leaks, floor and walls. Not properly sealed and no sump pump. Dryer venting. Used 4" steel venting and used 6 90's in a 10' run. Electrical. Used 20amp breakers, 15amp plugs and 14/2 wiring not 12/2. 12/2 is a thicker wire that should be used with 20amp circuits. Sheetrock. When the sun shines in your home and you can see every sheet rock screw sticking out because they were not sunk properly. I dealt with nightmare myself and can't tell you what it is like to dig the plaster out of every screw head and sink the screws properly. Then the patching, sanding and painting. Roof. No fire and ice used on roof. Did not properly vent the roof. No ridge vent just soffit vents. This caused the plywood to rot and need to be replaced also. Roof and plywood lasted 14years. Windows and doors. Had Anderson Renewal replace the windows and doors. When I was shown the insulation or lack of... I don't have time for a full list. I have done 3 Google reviews in my life, this is not something I take lightly. Be warned. Stay away. Or get a home inspection for your "New" home. Maybe two inspections. I hope this honest review will save others from the waste of time, money and aggravation. Thanks to all the good contractors that I used to fix all the issues. It's nice to work with people who take "PRIDE" in their work. FYI All the issues are not from normal wear and tear over time. Just poor workmanship. KPS......
