KOD Restoration & Construction is based in Somerville and works across residential and commercial construction, renovation and restoration. The company says it has served clients since 2015; its website describes roofing and siding, interior renovations, commercial build-outs, water and fire restoration, additions and emergency repairs. Its written customer history is dated: the newest review in this read is from February 2020, and the broader set runs from 2015 to 2020. A Thumbtack customer writing in 2020 praised Joseph’s help with permits and flexibility. In a 2016 Angi review, a homeowner described a roof de-icing cable and cabinet-hardware job that took about seven hours after an estimate of three to four; the reviewer also said the final $1,000 price was higher than expected. Other older Angi reviews praise promptness and communication, while two 2015 reviewers described serious dissatisfaction, including a failed electrical job and concerns about workmanship. There is a significant licensing issue to resolve before hiring. BuildZoom reports that Massachusetts General Contractor license #196836 was revoked on April 14, 2026, and says its Home Improvement Contractor license #182087 was cancelled at an unspecified time. KOD’s own site claims MA CSL #CS109612, but that number is not verified in these sources. Ask the state licensing authority to confirm the current status and the credential that covers your specific work, then get a written scope, schedule and price before proceeding.

Joseph and his team did a great job setting up my unit. He was very flexible and quick in finishing projects as needed. He guided me all with the steps like permits and everything. We really appreciate his work.
Very professional project manager (Joseph) was communicating throughout the projects corrected any issues.
He was very nice, prompt, and did everything I asked.
I hired KOD Restoration to re-install de-icing cables on my roof that I purchased last year. I also asked them to install kitchen cabinet knobs and drawer handles. They originally quoted me 3-4 hours for both projects, but the work actually took closer to 7 hours. They did not have experience with Easy Heat cables. Had I purchased a cable they were familiar with, it might not have taken so long. My house has a Gutter Helmet system which added some extra complication, but this should have been factored into the original estimate. The install of the kitchen cabinet knobs and drawer handles only took about 1 1/2 hours which seems reasonable. I raised my rating because the kitchen work came out better than I expected. I paid $1000 for both projects which I felt is too high even after they dropped 1 hour of time. I think $750 would have been more reasonable. I should have requested a fixed price rather than pay hourly which is a lesson I learned from this experience. I must say that Joseph is very responsive via email so I give him 5 stars for customer service. Just wish his hourly rates were more competitive with other handyman companies.
Very quick service!
