Remodeling Boston

Remodeling Boston is an Arlington, MA remodeling contractor founded in 1984 by Peter Duffy, who the company says has been renovating homes in the Greater Boston area for more than 40 years and still runs the business himself. What comes through across 19 reviews since 2023 is repeat business: several reviewers describe using Peter's crew for multiple projects across many years and even multiple properties — one describes hiring him for five renovation jobs across three properties they own, another for an array of repairs and renovations across multiple homes over the past decade, including diagnosing problems that had stumped other contractors. The scope of work described is wide: full kitchen renovations down to the studs, bathroom remodels, basement and attic finishing (including a skylight, insulation, framing, and a built-in bookcase), a sunroom addition, front-door and window replacements, a screened porch and front entry rebuild, and closet, lighting, and layout design work. Reviewers consistently praise Peter's communication and problem-solving — several describe him listening carefully to what they wanted, working from their own drawings, and fixing issues immediately when something went wrong. One reviewer notes a specific operational detail: rather than using a dumpster, Peter hauls demolition debris to a certified disposal and recycling facility each night, which the reviewer called useful for homes with limited or no parking. Multiple reviewers describe crews staying on schedule and on budget, and being considerate of pets and family living in the house during a project. The one review below five stars, from March 2024, still describes a positive outcome — a competitive price, a polite and clean crew, and staying on time for an attic finishing project — with a specific issue mentioned that the crew addressed when it came up. Given how consistent and detailed the praise is across nearly two dozen reviews and multiple sources, including repeat clients spanning years, there's little to flag here. For a large-scope project, it's still worth confirming the payment schedule and any subcontractor arrangements directly, since specific business terms aren't detailed in the reviews here.
