Petrolini Home Improvement, Inc.

Petrolini Home Improvement is a Somerville outfit built around decks — rebuilds, repairs, replacements — the kind of job that shows up again and again in what customers say about owner Diogenes Petrolini, who goes by Dio. The company has been registered in Massachusetts since 2013 and reports four employees, and BuildZoom's permit records show 20 projects filed since 2016 across Somerville, Everett, Malden, Waltham and Milton. The written record is thin but consistent: three reviews, all from 2016, rated 5 stars on Angi and its HomeAdvisor mirror. One homeowner described Dio and his crew rescuing an old, leaking deck, patiently walking through the repairs and answering questions along the way. Another said he showed up the next day for an estimate, sent progress photos while she was away, and left the yard spotless every evening. Neither review has been refreshed since, so this speaks to how the company worked in 2016, not necessarily the last few years. Worth asking about before booking: the company is not BBB accredited and carries a B- grade there, specifically for failing to respond to one filed complaint. BuildZoom lists an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license for the business, though that is BuildZoom's own listing rather than something verified independently here. Its BBB and Angi/HomeAdvisor profiles also disagree on how long it's been operating — BBB says 13 years, while Angi's own bio text says 7 and its highlights badge says 10. For a deck rebuild or repair, the 2016 reviews are the strongest signal available. For anything else on its broader self-reported list — additions, siding, kitchen or bath work — there's no customer account here to point to, so it's worth asking for recent references and getting a straight answer on how that BBB complaint was resolved.
