O'Brien Construction LLC

O'Brien Construction has worked out of Stoneham for what the company describes as more than 35 years, as a family-run outfit handling additions, kitchens, bathrooms, decks, porches and siding. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (HIC #176888) is active on the state registry, and the Better Business Bureau accredits it with an A+ grade, reporting no complaints or government actions on file. The written reviews that exist are consistently positive, if not recent. On the Better Business Bureau, one homeowner described a porch renovation on a 100-plus-year-old house that came in tidy and on time, with the crew respectful of the property throughout; another credited the team with working through unexpected complications on a bathroom remodel in an older house and coming out happy with the result. Google reviewers in 2017 and 2018 called the work professional and the craftsmanship knowledgeable, and a 2014 Angi review specifically praised detailed, experienced work on an accessibility-focused project, with no cost overages. There isn't much written review activity from the last several years — the dated accounts run from 2014 to 2018 — so it's worth asking for a couple of recent references before committing to a larger project. For a remodel or addition on an older house, particularly one where hidden surprises are likely, O'Brien has a clean record of finished, well-regarded work to point to; confirm current timelines and see recent work before signing on for something big.
