Lunetta Building & Remodeling, now Lunetta Building LLC by its own account, is a custom home construction and remodeling company that says it has been in business 39 years and does custom homes frame to finish, roofing, fine carpentry, remodels and kitchen design. It holds 3.0 stars from 3 BuildZoom ratings and an A+ BBB grade. Its BBB page lists licence number 137625 from the Massachusetts Board of Building Regulations and Standards. In a February 2024 BuildZoom review, a customer who hired the company for a 2022-23 kitchen remodel said John was a horrible communicator and gave only a verbal estimate, and that the project came in far over budget, ran more than 8 months in an empty house and was never completed. The same customer said the crew broke a water pipe, called the customer's plumber for the emergency repair and then would not pay the bill. In a December 2017 BuildZoom review, one customer had an old summer camp demolished and a new home built, and after three years of living in it had no regrets about hiring John. Another December 2017 reviewer said the company did good work but was usually juggling more than one job, and that its finish work was not acceptable, so they brought in a finish carpenter to complete the project.

We hired this company for a kitchen remodel in 2022-23 on the advice of Stella Kitchens. What a mistake. The owner, John, is a horrible communicator and only gave us a verbal estimate. The project came in way over budget, took over 8 months even though they had full access to an empty house, and never even was completed. Project updates were infrequent and incomplete. Their workmanship was sloppy, trim installed in the same vicinity does not match, and large gaps were left between wood pieces. Also, they did not respect our home furnishings, which were left outside over the winter when they moved them from the inside to do the work. The billing was vague with no accounting for specific materials or parts of the project completed. They broke a water pipe and called our plumber to complete an emergency repair, then they would not pay the bill. When we gave them a punch list of items remaining to be completed, they did not respond or complete the items.
Lunetta building and remodeling really do excellent work, but are usually juggling more than one job, so if you're in a hurry - find a contractor that will dedicate 100% of their efforts in completing the job. Plus, their "finish" work was not acceptable, we brought in a real finish guy to complete the project.
I am completely, thoroughly and absolutely satisfied with Lunetta Construction's work. The job was demolition of an old summer camp then the construction of a new home. All aspects of the work were excellent. We have been using the home for the past three years and have no regrets about hiring John. There have been a few irritants -- normal with a project as large as the house -- which John quickly remedied. In addition to the soundness of his construction, he has an excellent eye for detail. I cannot recommend him strongly enough; in fact, I have recommended him to neighbors, including a cousin. If I were to build in eastern Mass, I would have him do the work.
