New England Construction and Properties, LLC

New England Construction and Properties is a Boston-area general contractor built around one name: reviewers on Google and Houzz keep circling back to Francois Exilhomme's own hands-on involvement rather than a faceless company brand. The company describes itself as family-owned and a certified Minority Business Enterprise, based in the Hyde Park/Dedham area and covering Boston, Cambridge, Quincy, Newton and dozens of nearby towns for renovations, additions and remodeling work. The written record runs 17 reviews from 2024 through mid-2026 across Google (4.9 stars) and Houzz (5.0 stars), and the detail in them is unusually consistent. In a 2026 review, a homeowner described NECP stepping in on short notice to finish a 203k renovation on a 1700s home, handling added structural repairs along the way and keeping the paperwork-heavy 203k process on track. Deck work comes up too — in a February 2026 review, a homeowner described a full front-and-back deck replacement with a timeline that held. A 2025 review described a full condo overhaul covering floors, painting, new appliances and kitchen cabinetry, another 2025 review described converting a basement into finished living space, and a 2024 review described new siding, a front door and brick trim installed on a rental property. In a 2024 Houzz review, a client recounted the crew discovering wood rot mid-project and getting same-day photos and a revised quote rather than a delayed surprise. One thing worth knowing before calling: one Google review on this same business listing describes Francois as the reviewer's real estate agent on a home purchase — a different line of work from the contracting reviews around it — so it's worth confirming which service you're booking when you call. Homeowners taking on additions, whole-room remodels, deck replacements or exterior work with some project-management complexity — the kind of job where something unexpected turns up mid-build — are the clearest fit here, going by what people who've hired NECP describe. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and the pattern across two platforms and two years is steady: responsive, detail-oriented, and willing to handle a mid-project surprise without letting the timeline balloon.
