# R.G.S. Contracting **Trade:** General Contractor / Remodeling · **Address:** Private Address, Peabody, MA 01960, USA · **Phone:** (978) 239-2069 · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.5/5** (medium confidence) — from 11 reviews across 2 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 3 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read R.G.S. Contracting is a Peabody outfit whose Google reviews read less like routine remodels and more like a highlight reel of hard problems solved fast. Joe and his crew show up in accounts of a house fire, a car crashing into a home, and extensive water damage — each time restoring the property on a tight, unplanned timeline rather than a scheduled renovation. The 11 reviews on file, spanning 2023 to 2026, are unanimously five stars. One customer describes RGS rebuilding the entire front of a home after a fire, then coming back months later to remodel the bathroom too. Another recounts a drunk driver crashing into their house and knocking out the gas line — Joe's team had plumbing and heat restored within a day. A third had extensive water damage and says Joe gave a fair price to fix everything rather than taking advantage of a homeowner with no other choice. Beyond emergency work, reviewers repeatedly single out the carpentry: framing a complicated job fast with a price that didn't change, a deck rebuild, a porch transformation customers call beyond what they imagined, and a sliding door install at a condo. One long-time customer says he's used RGS both at home and across his restaurants. Nothing in the written record raises a concern — no complaint about scheduling, pricing changes, or follow-through shows up across the 11 reviews. For anything from a framing or deck project to an urgent fix after storm or fire damage, this is a crew whose reviewers keep describing the same thing: fast, priced fairly up front, and left clean when the job is done. **Strengths:** - Rebuilt after a fire — restored an entire home front quickly - Skilled carpentry — praised for framing, decks, and porches - Emergency response — restored plumbing and heat after a car crash - Stable pricing — quotes held even on complex jobs ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 11 reviews from 2023 to 2026, all five stars _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://maps.google.com/?cid=12126610612417899832&g_mp=CiVnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLkdldFBsYWNlEAIYBCAA) — “Google: 5★ from 11 ratings” - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xsc1ZDMHhlWGgzVFdwYVNXOXhRM05vYW1WR1MxRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xa84a601a3aa6ad38!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOllsVC0xeXh3TWpaSW9xQ3NoamVGS1E%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Absolutely beautiful work and attention to detail.
