# PARAISO GENERAL CONSTRUCTION,INC **Trade:** General Contractor / Remodeling · **Address:** 54 Thorndike St, Arlington, MA 02474, USA · **Phone:** (617) 959-3721 · **Website:** http://www.paraisoconstruction.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.5/5** (medium confidence) — from 20 reviews across 6 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 1 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Paraiso General Construction is an Arlington-based outfit run by Roberto, who personally manages every project and its subcontractors according to both the reviews and the company's own description. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and the Better Business Bureau — which does not list the business as accredited despite an A+ grade — shows a written history going back 15 years with no complaints on file. The reviews describe genuinely varied, sometimes complex work: a Jamaica Plain basement finished out with new plumbing, ducted HVAC, electrical, framing and a masonry opening cut through the foundation to the backyard; a garage converted to living space alongside a bathroom renovation; a two-story front porch torn down and rebuilt with custom architectural columns and railings despite weather and permitting delays. Bathroom work comes up again and again — tile removal and installation, a full renovation, and, in a 2023 review, a total facelift of an older kitchen and bathroom done alongside a full basement and porch reflooring for a first-time homebuyer working off a home inspector's list. What repeats across nearly every account, current and years old alike, is budget and schedule discipline: reviewers from 2023 through this year describe him sticking to the quoted estimate, communicating clearly as decisions come up, and showing up when he said he would — one calls it "no surprises," another says he "comes as advertised." Several clients mention hiring him more than once. A set of six older 2019 reviews on Angi, before the current Google history begins, describes the same traits: meticulous, punctual, upfront about pricing. For a homeowner, Roberto reads as a strong fit for a real project — a basement, a bathroom, an addition — rather than a one-off small fix, though he's also taken on smaller jobs like a single ventilation duct install. Confirm current scheduling, since the volume of larger multi-trade projects in the reviews suggests a contractor who books out. **Strengths:** - Whole-project remodels — basement, bathroom, and porch jobs start to finish - Budget & schedule discipline — stays on the quoted price and timeline - Verified HIC license — active Massachusetts registration - Repeat customers — several clients rehire him for new projects - BBB A+ rating — 15-year written history with no complaints **Where sources disagree:** - Its own site states it is BBB Accredited, but the BBB's own listing reports the business is not accredited despite the A+ grade. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration verified active (license 200083) _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://contractorhub.mass.gov/s/hic-contractor-search) — “MA hic license 200083 verified active” - Better Business Bureau grade A+, 15 years in business, no complaints listed _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/arlington/profile/general-contractor/paraiso-general-construction-inc-0021-470536) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/arlington/profile/general-contractor/paraiso-general-construction-inc-0021-470536) — “BBB profile for Paraiso General Construction, Inc. shows an A+ BBB rating despite the business not being BBB Accredited, 15 years in busines…” - Handles whole multi-trade projects — plumbing, HVAC, electrical, framing, masonry in one basement job _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT21obU0xSjNOM3BNTkdFMFNqUndhV1pzZW5saFQwRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x87f907db0f605caf!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOmhmM1J3N3pMNGE0SjRwaWZsenlhT0E%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ We hired Roberto to finish our basement in our home in Jamaica Plain.
