Reed Remodeling, Inc.

Through the early 2000s two names ran through nearly every review of this Brockton outfit — Michael and Chris — and the work they were hired for hasn't changed much since: bathrooms and kitchens, deck and porch repair, interior trim and moldings, tile, and painting. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #182562, is active and held in the company's own name. The praise is consistent and the history is long, but it is front-loaded. Six reviews landed in 2022, all of them 5★ and all circling the same qualities: one customer that year said the crew was personable and that she was "pleased with the bathroom"; another, hiring for a multi-room renovation, wrote that they "showed up on time and did what they said they would do"; a third said they gave an estimate and the finished work was "very professional, clean". The older accounts are the more specific ones. In a 2002 review a homeowner described a deck refinish where the crew spent double the expected time sanding before finishing, and the deck came back looking new. Another 2002 customer, who had collected more than fifteen quotes, said this one was not the cheapest but the fairest for the work involved, and that the crew was always on time or earlier. In a 2003 job a homeowner watching them plaster and prime walls was already happy mid-project. Two things to raise before you hire. First, the written history stops in December 2022, so ask for recent references rather than assuming the 2022 crew is the 2026 crew. Second, the only gripe anywhere is old but specific: in a November 2003 review a homeowner pleased with the price of wall and ceiling repairs noted paint left on the edges of the door and window trim — "not noticable unless you know it's there". If finish detail matters, walk the punch list before the final payment. One more wrinkle: its own listing can't decide how long it has been in business, claiming 25 years in one box and "more than six years" in the paragraph beside it. A sensible call for a bathroom, a kitchen, trim work or a tired deck when you want a small, owner-run crew rather than a large remodeling firm — with the registration number checked and recent references in hand.
