Kneeland Construction is a Medford, MA design-build contractor that says it has served Greater Boston as a family-owned shop since 1984, specializing in home additions, second-story additions, and dormers. In 2024, Arlington's town board awarded the company a $139,000 contract to renovate the Donnelly House, and a decade earlier Patch reported it serving as general contractor on a project that used Nashua tradesmen -- both signs of a company that's been doing real, visible project work in the area for years. The written record backs that up. Recent Thumbtack reviews from late 2025 into 2026 repeatedly describe additions and dormer conversions finished on schedule and on budget, with reviewers naming a specific project lead, Nick, as quick to text or call back and clear about cost estimates and change orders. That recent run sits alongside a 4.7-star average across 35 Thumbtack reviews and a 5.0 from 2 Houzz reviews; those Houzz reviews are older, dated 2013 and 2014, and describe a dormer project finished through a rough New England winter at a price the customer called competitive after getting multiple bids. One thing worth asking about directly: the company's BuildZoom page shows license and permit records tied to Westchester County, NY rather than Massachusetts, which looks like a directory mismatch rather than a fact about this business -- it's worth confirming current Massachusetts licensing directly with them before signing anything. For a home addition, second-story build-out, or dormer conversion in the Greater Boston area, the recent track record points to a crew that communicates well and finishes close to the timeline it quotes; just get the licensing question settled up front.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Kneeland Construction. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.

“The board awarded a $139,000 contract to Kneeland Construction Corp., of Medford, for renovations at the Donnelly House.”
“Kneeland Construction of Medford, MA served as the general contractor, but used all Nashua tradesmen to complete the project.”
It is the second time I used kneeland for addition projects. like last time, things were moving smoothly and both projects were done within the promised timelines. the project managers were easy to work with and no issues at all. And their price was reasonable as well. I would re-hire them again for my future projects.
We worked with Nick from Kneeland to add a second bathroom where an unfinished closet had been and exte an existing dormer on our home. Nick was great to work with - if we ever had any questions or concerns, we could text or call him at any moment and he was quick to respond. If it wasnt something he could address over the phone, he was great about either sending someone or coming out himself to take a look. We felt the pricing was fair for the work being done, and Nick and his team of sub contractors stayed on schedule. Were so happy with how our new bathroom turned out, and our bedroom feels so much bigger with the dormer. It was our first major project as homeowners and we had a great experience working with Kneeland. (Included a couple photos of our in progress/after/before)
We used Kneeland to add a 2-bedroom addition on our home, which added an additional floor on part of our house. They were fantastic! They were willing to work around our funky home and were the only contractor that we spoke with that was able to keep every room in our house livable the entire time during construction! The workers were incredibly nice, prompt, and did a great job. They were very communicative the entire time. They were so nice to our toddler and became best friends with our dog! The project was completed earlier than expected and was exactly on budget. We would highly recommend them!
We worked with Kneeland earlier this year to put on an addition. They were phenomenal to work with! Nick was very communicative, easy to work with, and always responsive. He also went out of his way to become friends with our dog! Cost estimates were accurate and change orders were clear, no unexpected financial surprises to worry about. Project was done on time and looks absolutely gorgeous! Our home is over 120 years old and they took such great care to make sure things were done well. Would definitely recommend!
We used Kneeland to add an extra bedroom and update the exterior entrances to our home. We found them through a friend, and we were happy to go with them when they gave us a reasonable quote with options based on where we wanted to spend our money. The project had a delay with permitting, but Kneeland worked with us through adapting the project to meet requirements and keep things within a reasonable budget.Once we kicked off the project, it moved quickly and Nick did a fantastic job on keeping us informed and keeping the project on task. We finished ahead of schedule and are so happy with the final project!Highly recommend them for future projects!
