Moraes Remodeling is a Newton-based, bilingual (English/Spanish) home improvement contractor run by Waldir, who the company says has more than 24 years of industry experience specializing in additions and kitchen remodels. Its reviews are few but pointed: several customers describe hiring Waldir on multiple occasions, for a kitchen, utility room and back-entrance remodel that ran four months with helpful mid-project suggestions on plumbing and venting, a full renovation of upstairs bedrooms after severe water damage from an attic HVAC unit, and work removing interior walls, tiling a bathroom and handling electrical fixes. Reviewers consistently describe him as responsive, fair on pricing and easy to work with. Houzz backs that up with a 5.0 rating from 5 reviews, a Best of Houzz 2019 Winner recognition, and 3 Houzz Awards for general contracting and remodeling work across two dozen Greater Boston towns. One thing worth checking directly: the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, verified against the state registry under Moraes Remodeling, currently shows expired. For a kitchen remodel, addition, or renovation work in the Newton area, Moraes Remodeling has a small but consistently strong written history behind it — worth a call, and worth confirming the registration status before signing a contract.
Waldir has always been a superior contractor with the skills and expertise to complete a full renovation of my upstairs bedrooms after some severe water damage from an attic hvac unit. He has completed many other projects for me as well. He is professional, but also very friendly and truly cares. I continue to use his services whenever needed!
Very easy to work with, set realistic timeline for the. Honey do list I provided him. He was fair with pricing and provided different pricing and repair options for the work I was having done. I have since recommend his services to friends.
It is the 2nd time Waldi helps for my home. He remodeled my kitchen, my utility room, and the entrance to my back yard. The project lasted 4 months. In this period, Waldi gave me many good suggestions, such as the adjustments to the pipes of the washing machine and the vent of and dryer, how to remove mildew, and how to use the space more efficiently. Now, my kitchen looks much modern. Waldi finishes his job very clean . I am lucky to be able to find Waldi as my contractor.
Highly experienced professional. Great understanding of the projects!!! Hired on multiple occasions. Satisfied with the works performed.
Waldir is always a pleasure to work with. Having some experience with other contractors, I highly recommend Moraes Remodeling. Waldir is very responsive, accommodating and completes the job on time. He's helped us with removing interior walls, bathroom tiling, electrical work, roof repair and painting, and we've always been satisfied. I look forward to working with him on more projects.
