Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read R. F. Arthur Home Improvement is an exterior home improvement business based in Franklin, MA. Its website says it specializes in windows, doors, siding, custom trim, roofing and skylights, and that it serves Norfolk and Middlesex counties and the surrounding communities. The site reports 30 years in business; the company also says it was established in 1986 in Massachusetts and that Robert Arthur is the owner. R F Arthur Home Improvement LLC's Massachusetts home improvement contractor licence 192528 is active on the state registry. In a 2025 Google review, a customer wrote that Bob and team did an excellent job installing their windows and sliding door, with great communication from start to finish. A 2024 review described Bob and his crew replacing 21 windows and a porch sliding door, and said Bob replaced all the old exterior trim and rotting sills with new PVC; that 2024 customer wrote that the crew was very clean and efficient. In a separate 2024 review, a customer who hired Bob Arthur to install new windows, fix windows a different company had not installed correctly and replace some siding wrote that he completed the project quicker than they expected. In a 2023 review, a customer wrote that Bob and his team replaced windows in their kitchen and basement, a job another company had turned down due to the scope of the work. Another 2023 review said Bob was informative during the consultation, the 10-window install came sooner than anticipated with very little disruption, and Bob made sure the customer knew how to operate the window. A 2022 customer from Medway, MA wrote that Bob was out the very next day to give an estimate for 9 windows, measured only once and had a quote back that same evening. A separate 2022 review said they were fairly priced, showed up when they said they would and gave a realistic idea of their project timeline. **Strengths:** - Window replacement — a 2024 review described 21 windows and a sliding door - Trim and sills — a 2024 review said old trim went to new PVC - Quick quotes — a 2022 review said the quote came back that evening - Active HIC licence — licence 192528 is active on the state registry **Where sources disagree:** - The website reports 30 years in business, while the company's own description says it was established in 1986 ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Specializes in windows, doors, siding, custom trim, roofing and skylights, serving Norfolk and Middlesex counties _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](https://www.arthurhomeimprovement.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): R.
