Sixty-four Google ratings and a 5.0 average — that is the first thing you see about Makeover and Finishes Group, and it is worth reading past. The Acton company, led by Igor and Leila Almeida, builds ground-up homes, puts on additions and takes whole houses back to the studs across the western and northern suburbs of Boston. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, 203106, is active. What separates the useful reviews from the rest is specificity, and there is real specificity here. A customer writing in July 2026 had a barn's upper level rebuilt — new flooring, replaced windows, added insulation, a custom bar, and the barn's old wiring replaced. In a May 2024 review, the owners of an 1838 house described the crew reconstructing an upper rear deck, a dining room porch and a lower deck, repairing a front dormer, and re-covering the front and side façade in new clapboard. An addition in Weston, reviewed in May 2026, earned its praise less for the carpentry than for the paperwork: the homeowner said the town was hard to deal with on permitting and the team took it in stride. Basements, attics, bathrooms and kitchens recur throughout, usually with a note that the schedule and the budget held. Two things to weigh. Roughly two dozen of these reviews were posted inside a single week at the end of May 2024, and most of them are short and interchangeable — "Great company!!", "The best company." — with no project detail at all; they lift the count without telling you anything, so read the dated, specific ones instead. And the nearest thing to a complaint anywhere in the record is a 2024 guest-bathroom remodel where the customer mentioned a few minor delays and still gave five stars. For a permit-heavy job — an addition, a basement build-out, a full renovation — recent customers describe the coordination and the communication in concrete terms, which is the part that usually goes wrong. Ask to walk a finished project close to yours in size, get the schedule and the change-order process in writing, and check registration 203106 yourself with Massachusetts Consumer Affairs before you sign.
A very easy to work with team; they handle everything quickly and professionally. We simply love the project they delivered. I would definitely recommend them.
Been great experience since the start of the project and looking forward to completing it in near future.
We cannot say enough positive things about Makeover Finishes. I found them through Angie’s list, and when all the other contractors quoted us much higher prices, we took a chance on Igor and Lucas and were so pleased with the process, pricing, and level of detail. A tree had fallen on our garage, and we had to deal with permitting because we live on wetlands in a town that has a reputation for being difficult. They took on the project with such a positive attitude and went above and beyond to attend to every detail while keeping our costs down. We are so grateful to have found them.
We hired Maize to renovate our barn and make better use of the upper level. The project included installing new flooring, replacing the windows, adding insulation, and building a custom bar in the space. They also replaced the old electrical wiring that was feeding the barn and completed the necessary electrical updates inside. Everything was well coordinated, and the team kept us informed throughout the project. The upper level looks completely different now. It is comfortable, functional, and much more inviting than before. We are very happy with the final result and would definitely work with Maize again in the future.
I couldn’t be happier with the work that Makeover and Finishes Group did. From the very beginning, the entire process was incredibly organized and professional. Their team listened carefully to my ideas, respected every decision I made, and kept me informed throughout the entire project. One thing I truly appreciated was how well they stayed within the budget we had planned. Every change was clearly explained before moving forward, so there were never any surprises. They also maintained an excellent timeline and delivered exactly what they promised. Their craftsmanship, attention to detail, and professionalism exceeded my expectations. This powder room is only the beginning of our home renovation, and I honestly can’t wait to share the other rooms they are remodeling for us. If you’re looking for a trustworthy contractor who communicates well, respects your budget, delivers beautiful work, and truly cares about their clients, I highly recommend Makeover and Finishes Group. They have earned our trust, and we will continue working with them throughout our renovation. Thank you to the entire team for making the first finished room in our home so beautiful!
