New England Building Company has been renovating and building homes in Kingston since 1927, and its eight written Google reviews are unanimously five stars. President Christopher Ahern comes up by name again and again as the person who actually shows up to look at the work. A June 2026 review credits Ahern with tracing a condensation problem to bad ducting and fixing both the leak and the water damage that followed. Another describes a new bay window going in alongside an old skylight coming out. Further back, a late-2025 review recounts a repeat customer who called Ahern in twice over three years, first for custom built-in shelving and a utility sink, later for a full shelf reorganization, and a separate 2025 account has him rebuilding crawl-space support columns and a beam. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. Separately, New England Building Company is BBB accredited with an A+ rating. The company's own site adds Rhode Island and Connecticut contractor registrations along with a long list of safety and trade certifications — OSHA, EPA lead-safe, hoisting, crane signaling, welding — suggesting it also handles larger commercial and structural jobs. A strong option for structural work, additions, or historic restoration; for a smaller single-room project, it's worth checking that the company still takes on jobs that size.
I had some condensation issues from poorly installed ducting and I called NEB co and spoke with the owner Chris who was great, he got a team together for my home and fixed the root cause and the water damage, then painted to wrap the job up. The team was great, did a ton of prep work to protect my home from paint. Highly recommend calling NEB co for any of your construction needs. -Mark A
They worked quickly and efficiently. We are very pleased with the outcome. The roof and bedroom look great.
Had an awesome experience with Chris and his company. They installed a brand new bay window and removed an old skylight for me, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. You can tell they take pride in their work. Quality craftsmanship, great communication, and no shortcuts. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for window work or home improvements.
We have used New England Building Company twice in the last three years. On both times, we were extremely happy with the finished job and the employees who came to work on our home. The first time was to remove and replace a custom built-in wood workshop table and shelves (approximately 12’ long), and a 4-tier wood storage shelf system. They also replaced and installed a new utility sink. The second time was recently for a total cleanup and reorganization of built-in shelves (approximately 8’ high, 20’ long 3’ deep.) Chris Ahern, President & Owner, visited us to assess what we needed. He and all his employees were professional, skilled, and respectful of our home and the personal items we own. The company is BBB accredited, licensed in RI, CT and MA, and has been in business since 1927. We would definitely use them again for both small and large projects, and gladly we give them 5-stars.
Exceptional service, very professional, fair pricing. They did structural work in my crawl space. Rebuilt support columns, beam, installed basement windows and built a support wall in crawl space. I would highly recommend this company. They went above and beyond. They’re the best
