R H Gallo Builders is a Holden, MA home builder. Its BuildZoom profile describes the business as "Construct Single Family homes on our own lots." A 2021 telegram.com article quoted Steven Gallo of R.H. Gallo Builders of Holden on supply chain issues and said the company was named for Gallo's father Robert. In a 2022 review, a buyer wrote that they moved into a house built by RH Gallo Builders the previous November, that the company let them make minor adjustments to the plans, and that the project was on time and on budget. In a 2019 review, a buyer wrote that after a few minor issues on moving in, one of the owners called and made sure everything was fixed as promised. In a 2020 review, a buyer who bought a house in March 2019 wrote that the driveway collected 3 inches of water, siding came off in wind, and a leak reached the kitchen from the 2nd floor tub; the company replied in 2022 that it had gone beyond normal warranty work for that customer. Another 2020 review said downstairs and upstairs flooring was never installed properly. In a 2017 review, a buyer wrote that a build quoted at 4-5 months took 9 months and listed issues after move-in, including a leaky tub and faucet that stained the kitchen ceiling and an AC unit and furnace not hooked up correctly. In a 2019 review, a renter of a Gallo townhouse wrote that maintenance repairs went unanswered. Massachusetts home improvement contractor licence 129238, held by Robert H.

I recently moved into a house built by RH Gallo Builders Inc. last November and could not be happier. They took the time to go over the build and also gave us some good recommendations. The layout of the house is perfect and Gallo allowed us to make minor adjustments to the plans. Their communication was great, the project was on time and on budget. I would definitely buy another house built by RH Gallo Inc!

Response from Rh Gallo Builders Inc July 7, 2022 I will file this under"You can't please everyone." We bent over backwards to please this customer. Including doing things that are not part of normal warranty work. But, no matter what we did or how far we went this women was never satisfied. I even had to fight with her attorney for six months to get the Holdback released even though all the work had been completed. I would never deal with this women again. Customer from hell!! As a side note there are no issue with her house. Everything she complained about was nit picky and minute.
Steve Gallo and his “team” are the most unprofessional group of people I have ever had to work with. Steve Gallo does everything he can to cut corners and is all about quantity over quality. The company he uses for his flooring is the absolute worst and my downstairs and upstairs flooring were never installed properly. Obviously Gallo would not take ownership for these floors even after an outside company deemed the builder at fault. Steve Gallo is beyond unprofessional to work with and even belittles his customers. If I could give this company a negative star I would. Look elsewhere if deciding to build.
Buying a new home can be stressful in so many ways. To me what matters most is a good and transparent relationship between seller and buyer. After having a few minor issues once we moved in I was very happy to get a call from one of the owners. He made sure everything was fixed as promised. Thanks for all your help! We love our new house.
After renting a townhouse from Gallo builders I urge anyone considering their decision to rent from them to go elsewhere . Not only are their homes built to poor quality and constructed the cheapest way possible . But they don’t respond to maintenance repairs to rental properties , and when you do get hold of someone the attitude you’ll receive is the most unprofessional contact you will ever have with a “professional” company .
