## The honest read

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Massachusetts's registry shows the company's General Contractor license, which expired in January 2024, has since been revoked as of April 2026; a second Home Improvement Contractor license it held is also listed inactive.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.

**Strengths:**
- Responsive project management — Joseph named directly for communication

**Concerns:**
- Revoked license — the company's MA General Contractor license was revoked
- Severe complaints — reviews describe incompetent electrical work, messy jobs
- Cost & timeline overruns — a few reviews cite longer, pricier jobs than quoted
