LDS Construction

LDS Construction is a Walpole, Massachusetts general contractor that builds custom homes and takes on whole-house renovations. The company says it is family owned, started in 2015 out of a family that had been in the trade for years, and that principals Kevin Smith and Jared Ruggieri run each job themselves rather than through layers of management. Its most visible work is public. This Old House credits LDS Construction as the contractors on its Season 47 project, and the 2026 write-up names Kevin Smith and Jared Ruggieri as the builders who led the renovation of the 1,300 square foot house. A viewer following the season in late 2025 reported that the sign in front of the house read LDS Construction of Walpole, Mass. The two principals also walked the project on camera for the Build Show Network. Outside that coverage, a recommendation on the company's Alignable profile calls Roger an excellent communicator and a pleasure to work with, and Google shows a five-star average built on a single rating. For a homeowner around Walpole planning a custom build or a substantial renovation, this is a builder whose finished work can actually be watched end to end. Ask for references from completed jobs the size of yours, and confirm the Massachusetts home-improvement registration and a written scope before signing.
