In a string of five-star reviews posted in 2024, several of Lonergan Construction's longtime clients use nearly the same phrase: this Framingham company is "my first call" for house problems big and small. It's been operating since the mid-1990s (self-reporting since 1996), run by George Lonergan, a former Massachusetts State Police officer, with Karen fielding client calls and Rodrigo leading crews on-site. Those 2024 reviews describe long relationships rather than one-off jobs: one homeowner in Newton Center said his family has hired the crew for everything from roof work to window replacement, exterior wood repair and shutter replacement over several years; another described a patio deck replacement and a full renovation of an old house — including two complete bathroom updates — over many years of repeat work; a third said she's called them for jobs ranging from small repairs to full additions for over a decade. Several reviewers single out Rodrigo for clean, careful finish work and note the crew leaves a site tidier than it found it. Not every job has gone that smoothly. In a 2024 review, a homeowner described a kitchen revamp quoted at five to six weeks that stretched past four months, with tile in a 135-degree corner redone repeatedly by what the reviewer called mostly young, inexperienced workers. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. Its BBB file, open since 2000, carries an A+ rating with no complaints or government actions on record, and BuildZoom shows 66 permitted projects — mostly $8,000–$87,000 jobs — spread across Framingham, Newton, Arlington, Westborough, Belmont and Wellesley Hills. Lonergan looks like a fit for a homeowner who wants one crew for a string of projects over the years rather than a single quick fix — that pattern shows up far more in the reviews than the rough kitchen job does. Given that 2024 complaint, it's worth confirming the crew assigned and locking in a firm timeline before committing to a bigger renovation.

Responsive and Reliable I have been a customer of Lonergan Construction for several years, everything from roof work to window replacement to exterior wood repair to shutter replacement. George and Karen have been a pleasure to work with. Their crews show up on time and are very efficient. Rodrigo has always done excellent work. I am pleased to recommend them. Robert, Newton Center.
I have worked with Lonergan Construction for many years. Lonergan Construction has done a broad range of work for me and my family. This work included replacing a patio deck, doing a major renovation of an old house including two complete bathroom updates, replacing sliders and gutters, repairing and painting a condominium unit to prepare it for sale, and much more. The quality of the construction work done by Rodrigo is excellent. He and his team are polite and considerate. In addition, when Rodrigo finishes a job, the worksite is cleaner than when he arrives. In addition, George provides input regarding the requested work to ensure that the result is something that we will be happy with. I highly recommend Lonergan Construction for construction work.
I have been lucky enough to work with George, Karen and Rodrigo for many years. Lonergan construction is always my first call when I have a house problem, no matter how big or small. The crew is reliable, friendly, fair priced and best of all the job is always done right! Best in Framingham! Debbie Feitler
I have used Lonergan Construction for work done at my mother's house and my own in the last decade. The jobs have ranged from fairly small tasks to larger work like replacing siding and replacing doors with custom measurements. I appreciate the friendly communication with George, Karen, and Rodrigo. More to the point, I have appreciated their solid understanding of construction principles when they have needed to troubleshoot a problem and offer a solution. They take their professionalism seriously and always respond to your calls and messages, even when they're in their peak busy periods. In a time when people readily blow you off, practicing basic courtesy speaks to their character and integrity. If you want solid work and honest communications, you will find that with Lonergan Construction!
Lonergan Construction has been our go-to contractor since we moved into our home 15 years ago. They are professional, clean and deliver high-quality every time. They have done major renovations (2 bathrooms, front door replacement, new deck) and general maintenance and repair (roof replacement, interior wall repair, a number of other smaller jobs). In the rare cases where there are issues, they own them completely. After our first major project, we stopped looking for alternative contractors for bids and just went straight to Lonergan. The security of knowing their quality and accountability made other options irrelevant. I've recommended them to multiple friends and neighbors over the years and they've thanked me for similar experiences.
