Verified record
KOD Restoration & Construction is a Somerville, Massachusetts general contractor led by Joseph (Kebert) that has taken on remodeling, roofing and siding work since 2015. Angi shows a 4.1-star rating from 16 reviews, and the written reviews on file, all from 2015 to 2020, describe a mixed record. Several reviewers, including one who hired the company multiple times, praise project manager Joseph directly for staying communicative and working through problems that came up mid-job. Others describe real trouble: one reviewer said the company had no experience with electrical work and 'screwed it all up,' requiring someone else to fix the mess, and another described the work as messy and unprofessional. A few reviews describe jobs running longer or costing more than quoted. Massachusetts's registry shows the company's General Contractor license, which expired in January 2024, has since been revoked as of April 2026; a second Home Improvement Contractor license it held is also listed inactive. This is a real regulatory action, not simply an expired registration, and is worth confirming directly with the company before hiring. Given the revoked license and the mix of serious complaints alongside genuine praise, a homeowner considering KOD Restoration & Construction should ask pointed questions about current licensing status and get recent references before signing anything.

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!
