Matriarch Construction is a women-owned general contractor based in Winchester, Massachusetts, run by Nicole Brietzke, and one detail from a 2026 review sums up the kind of work reviewers describe: a bathroom renovation for someone's grandmother, who was struggling to get in and out of the tub, finished start to finish in a single day. Twelve reviews from 2023 through 2026, spread across Google, Houzz, Thumbtack and Angi, describe kitchen and bathroom remodels, a whole-basement finish with custom built-ins, and a full second-floor renovation after a leak. Reviewers repeatedly name the same team — Lori, Amanda, Nicole, and Justin — for staying in close, regular contact: daily progress emails on one 2023 kitchen-and-bath job, weekly check-ins on another. In a 2025 review, a $90,000 basement remodel came in about 10% over the original estimate and the promised weekly meetings didn't happen, though the reviewer still called the finished work professional and well-built and said they were happy overall. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #208440, is verified active on the state registry, and Houzz lists a typical job cost between $40,000 and $2 million. For a kitchen, bath, or basement renovation in the Boston area, this is a well-reviewed team to call — just get the meeting schedule and cost-overrun terms in writing given the one review that flagged both.
“Matriarch Construction does fantastic work!”
Love the women from Matriarch Construction. They specialize in kitchens, baths, and remodels but are honestly great for anything you need. I recommend them to everyone I know. They can help you every step of the way from design to build. Check them out.
Beautiful work! Great to work with Nicole and Justin. Good people, timely service and their attention to detail is superb! Highly reccomend!
This company did the renovation for my grandmother’s bathroom, she was having a very hard time getting in and out of the bathtub, and these ladies came in and got it one and done in a day with one of the most professional cruise I have ever seen for a construction job. Not only that but Lori herself was an absolute doll. I couldn’t have asked for better service in the job was just gorgeous. I will never be going to another construction company again for any maintenance whether it be bigger or small. These ladies will do the job 10 times better than any man.
Within a year of purchasing our first home, we had a major leak that resulted in us needing to renovate the entire second floor. I had already done some of the leg work to find individual teams for the beginning of the work we needed done but quickly realized I needed help. I wanted to find a woman-owned GC company that I could trust and would help guide me thru the process. Lori, Justin, Nicole and team did an amazing job from start to finish. They were able to work with my budget with transparency and honesty and the communication was excellent. The team was prompt, worked well within the time frame and was there every step I needed them. The work was great and anything we may have noticed was immediately addressed. We've already had some other minor things go wrong with the rest of the house and they are fantastic with connecting me with the right people. We loved them so much we're in the process of doing a bathroom reno with them! 10/10 will definitely use again (for all of our upcoming projects... and there are lots!)
As a first-timer for a big renovation project (kitchen), I was nervous about the process. Lori, Amanda, and Justin from Matriarch were amazing collaborators and ensured that everything - large and small - was taken care of all within the original timeline they gave for the project. I was particularly (and pleasantly) surprised by the level of communication from the team - always responding within hours and being clear and honest, even when it was about unexpected challenges. I also appreciated the consideration they had for our budget and never tried to "upsell" us on anything, while also ensuring we ended up with really great quality.
