Verified record
Luxe Renovations & Co is a one-employee Boston (East Boston) renovation business run by Arthur Oliveira, in business since February 2019, working kitchens, cabinet refinishing, painting and wallcovering across a wide swath of Greater Boston. The reviews are few and split. In a 2021 Houzz review, a customer praised a cabinet-refinishing kitchen project delivered on time and on budget, with no surprises. Three other reviews — from 2020, 2021 and 2022 — describe a different pattern: unanswered calls and no-shows, tile work left with holes in the wall and no follow-up repair, and, in the 2022 review, a repeat customer describing years of missed appointments and one job that dragged past three months of rescheduling. The Better Business Bureau grades the company B- specifically because it did not respond to a complaint filed against it, and BuildZoom's own check found its Massachusetts home improvement/general contractor license, #200688, expired as of January 2025, at one point listed as cancelled. A 2025 BBB review describes a kitchen renovation that began that May with a 30-day, June 1 target completion. Given how split the reviews are, get a firm written schedule and confirm current licensing directly before signing anything, and ask for recent references beyond what's shown here.

I have worked with Arthur multiple times over the past few years. The first 1-2x I hired him and his team they were timely, and the work and pricing was decent. However over the past couple years when I have tried to schedule various small projects (with plenty of flexibility on my end), he has repeatedly dropped in the ball on both communication and followthrough. Multiple times I have scheduled for them to do work and they never show up. Never answers email or phone, only occasionally returns my texts. One job took over 3 months of constant rescheduling for them to finally complete, when it should have only taken a week. Super unprofessional, look elsewhere.
My wife and I are absolutely thrilled with the results of the project. Arthur was able to deliver everything that we had asked for on time and on budget. Helped through the full design process, and even picked up the tile for us. No unexpected surprises. Our kitchen looks brand new without the cost and hassle of replacing our cabinets. We were referred to Luxe Renovations and Arthur from a friend and we are glad that we reached out! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable contractor!
Do not use this company. The person in charge, Arthur is unreliable, undependable and inconsiderate. I had major work done on my house and there where many problems, tile work, holes in wall etc. after it was finished. The person who did the tile work in the kitchen did not know what he was doing. I called Arthur many times but he would not return my calls and did not follow up to repair work on things that were bad. Now when I call I still can not get in touch with him. He abandoned me. So, I would stay away from this person and Do not use this company.
Unresponsive, sloppy and unprofessional once the initial phase of the job was completed. Did not complete all of the contracted work and fix drips, spills, and sloppiness. Look elsewhere.
We started the project on May 5, 2025 with this company. At that time we were told that the renovation (Kitchen and REMOVED) would take 30 days, June 1 was the target date.
