Two people had already failed to find the leak in an inground pool before Gabriel Cerna got to it. In a September 2024 review the owner wrote that he found it, re-cemented the surrounding areas and painted the pool, which until then had been bare cement — and that it has not leaked since. That is the kind of job King of Remodeling keeps turning up in: the one that has already defeated somebody else. King of Remodeling is Gabriel Cerna's Waltham company, doing carpentry, painting, remodeling and general construction. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 205742, is active on the state registry. The range in these reviews is unusual. A front porch staircase rebuilt in December 2025 with a landing designed in, because the old top step left the homeowner wrestling a storm door that swung outward. A 20-by-20 deck replaced with all new material in September 2025. Front steps in ipe in April 2025. A 1920 Dutch Colonial shingle house painted midnight blue with white trim, which a December 2024 reviewer wrote still looked stunning two years on. An only bathroom taken down to the studs in November 2024 and put back quickly to keep the disruption short. Six windows in spring 2024, a ceiling replaced, two doors swapped, gutters and a roof, a rock wall repaired, a screened porch built, a front walkway laid. Money comes up in a specific way here. A June 2024 customer wrote that Gabriel's estimates are firm quotes, and that across all the work he had done, he had never come back asking for more. A September 2024 customer whose six-window job turned out more involved than expected said the agreed price held anyway. Several reviewers are on their third or fourth job with him, and a September 2024 customer credited him with solving tricky problems other contractors had shrugged at. Two things are worth knowing before you call. The company's own website is largely an unedited template — it still carries a placeholder "0 + Happy Customers" figure and a quote credited to a "Henry scott, ceo" who has nothing to do with the business — so take the details from Gabriel directly rather than from the site. And the years-in-business figures disagree: the site cites ten years of experience, the BBB profile lists eight years, and Angi says fifteen. King of Remodeling fits the older house with a long list — porch, paint, windows, a bathroom, the thing nobody else will touch — where you want one person who quotes firmly and sticks to it. Get the scope written out job by job, because with this company the list tends to grow.
Gabriel and his team did a fantastic job removing our warn out front porch staircase and rebuilding us a new one. The old staircase did not have a landing and it was awkward standing on the top step while opening the storm door which swings outward. We discussed designing a new staircase WITH a landing. Gabriel came up with a design that came out fantastic! The new staircase is solid! You can now stand comfortably on the new landing and opening the storm door is no longer an issue! I had previously purchased mahogany stair treads that I sanded and treated with a high quality penetrating oil that I wanted to use on the new staircase.Gabriel agreed to use my treads and did a great job incorporating them into the build. My wife and I both agree, "King Of Remodeling" did a great job! The new staircase came out great! We appreciate the added curb appeal as well! Thanks to Gabriel and his team for a job well done!!
Gabriel and his team just replaced my 20x20 deck with all new materials, and did an excellent job.
We are very happy with our new front steps done in ipe (beautiful hard wood). Gabril was very communicative and listened to what we wanted. lf it wasn't for the rain, the project would have been completed at most 3-4 days. Remember to discuss details, contractors are not designers and be clear about what you want. Overall we are happy with the work!
I just want to say Gabriel and his crew are the best!!! I have a very old house which needs repairs constantly. He can do it all! This is the third job he has done for me and I highly recommend his company!!
New paint on an old house and garage. About two years ago, Gabriel and his team at King of Remodeling transformed our 1920 Dutch Colonial shingle house, and the results were nothing short of amazing! We chose a midnight blue with white trim, and the house still looks stunning today. Before Gabriel started, the shingles were falling off, and the paint was peeling and chipped everywhere. His team sanded down the shingles, replaced the damaged ones, and repainted all the trim and siding. They also rebuilt our failing deck and gave both decks a fresh coat of paint. The transformation was incredible and our house looked brand new! The quality of work so good that about a year later, I hired Gabriel again to paint the inside of our garage. For prep ge cleaned and fixed the spalling concrete on the ceiling and walls, and then painting everything beautifully. The garage is now not only functional but also looks fantastic. Gabriel and his team are true professionals who pay attention to every detail. Their work is top notch, and two years later, it still shows. I highly recommend King of Remodeling for any painting or contracting needs. Gabriel will absolutely be my first call for future projects! Here are a few photos of the finished work.
