Highlights

  • Basement remodel — left unfinished after months of delays
  • Vague contract — led to unexpected extra charges

M.O General Carpenter and Painting is a Massachusetts corporation run by Klebson Pereira, doing framing, trim carpentry, and interior and exterior painting for residential and commercial jobs; the company's Angi profile says it has been around for 24 years. The one written account on file is a rough one: a 2021 BuildZoom review describes hiring Klebson and his crew for a $33,000 basement remodel that was supposed to wrap by June but wasn't even half finished by then. The homeowner terminated the job, citing repeated delays, a contract vague enough that expected parts of the remodel came back as add-on charges, and inconsistent communication — while still describing Klebson himself as someone who tries hard and has a lot going on. Before booking, it's worth asking for a detailed, itemized contract up front given that history, and confirming a realistic timeline. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor license (#174826) is listed by BuildZoom as active, though that's BuildZoom's own verification, not ours. Its Angi listing places it in Winthrop; BuildZoom's records show a Marlborough address for the same corporate name, worth confirming directly.

    We hired Klebson and his crew to finish our basement in January. In June, the project was not even half finished. We had to terminate the business with Klebson because of constant delays, insufficient excuses and inconsistencies with the contract. Klebson is a nice person who tries hard to fulfill his job. He seems to have a lot of projects going on at the time that resulted in delays and inconsistent communication. The contract itself was so vague that we ended up having to pay for extras that one expects to be part of a remodel. At the end we found out that Klebson works under the license of a partner, which we wish we had known from the beginning for the sake of transparency. It was a surprise to see that his name was not on the permit he pulled. What seemed to start off as a good project and nice people, ended up in disappointment.
