L&J Building & Remodeling, Inc.

L&J Building & Remodeling is a third-generation, family-run general contractor working out of Dudley, with Joe DiPilato — the company says he's been on jobs since he was 15 — running things day to day. Alongside additions, kitchens, bathrooms and deck work, the company keeps its own wood shop for custom cabinet and furniture making, and also handles site work, excavation, septic upgrades and container rentals — the range of a shop set up to run a project start to finish rather than specialize narrowly. The written record here is thin, but what's there points the right way: a December 2024 review on BuildZoom described a $3,800 bow-window replacement — three double-hung Harvey windows — as professional, with the crew clearing all debris before leaving. And when a Dudley resident asked Nextdoor for a contractor referral for a deck rebuild, L&J's name came back. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor license (#121140) is active, verified directly against the state registry, and the company also holds a Lead Safe Renovator certification. With only a handful of jobs on the public record, it's worth asking to see recent project photos or a reference before booking anything larger than the window job already documented here.
