R & S Remodeling

Start with the licence. Massachusetts registry records show R & S Remodeling's home improvement contractor registration, #131936, as revoked — the state cancelling the registration, not a business letting one lapse. Confirm the current status with the state's consumer affairs office before you sign anything or hand over a deposit. The Weymouth company presents itself on Houzz as a general contractor doing home remodeling, additions, accessory dwelling units and basement conversions, with Randy Hoyle listed as owner on its Better Business Bureau profile. The BBB grades the business D+, citing its failure to respond to a filed complaint and the short time it has been operating. Its two Google ratings average one star. If you are still considering them for an addition or a basement build-out, ask what the complaint involved and how it ended, get written proof of liability insurance, and verify the registration with the state yourself before any money moves.
