Pillar Homes' two Angi reviews land at opposite ends: five stars in August 2025, one star a month later, both for big 2025 renovation jobs. The Plymouth company was founded and is led by Helsom Dias, described on its site as the licensed contractor involved from planning to the final walkthrough; the site calls itself a family-owned business and cites ten years in business. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #211387, is active on the state registry, and Angi separately lists a construction supervisor licence, CS-117296, as self-reported. The August 2025 customer wrote that Helsom and his team were easy to work with, that the work got done in a timely fashion, and that they now get constant compliments on the quality. The September 2025 customer told a different story: a condo remodel that ran over 18 months, a contractor who "makes everything a change order at exorbitant prices", and mistakes they put down to lack of supervision, from a company they said takes on more work than the team can handle. Scope and price control are what to nail down in advance. Ask how change orders get priced and approved before work starts, get the completion date in writing, and ask who is on site supervising day to day. For a custom home, an addition or a multi-room remodel, this Plymouth company is a reasonable one to put on the list — Angi's profile also lists free estimates and Spanish-language service. Bring detailed plans, and settle the change-order process and the schedule before anyone swings a hammer.
Beware. Have extremely detailed plans and specifications. This contractor makes everything a change order at exorbitant prices. The remodel of a condo unit took over 18mos because contractor takes on more work than team can handle. Many mistakes are due to lack of supervision and his staff does not maintain a clean worksite causing waste and lost materials. He does not have electrical or plumbing subcontractors. His pricing is not transparent and he uses change orders to increase his profit. He takes no responsibility and is difficult to work with. Have a detailed time schedule backed by a holdback from each payment that is released only on satisfactory completion.
Helsom and his team were great! He was very easy to work with. The work all got done in a timely fashion and we now get constant compliments on the quality of the work.
