That customer said a few surprises turned up behind the walls, that Rob and the crew fixed them quickly and stayed on schedule, and that Rob was completely transparent on the budget. On Google the company holds 4.9 stars across 26 ratings. A 2025 customer said Rob and his team completed kitchen and bath renovations and built an addition with a master bedroom with en suite, a laundry room, closet space and a half bath. In that 2025 review, the customer said the team made it possible for their large family to live in the house during construction. A 2026 customer said Rob helped renovate the kitchen in a 1950s ranch, making the most of the small space and working within budget. A 2026 customer on a separate project said there were sometimes pauses while waiting for subcontractors, materials or scheduling around other jobs, and said Rob was honest about the options when changes were requested and helped keep the project within budget. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 180567, is expired on the state registry. **Strengths:** - A first-floor renovation — a recent customer said wall surprises were fixed on schedule - A 1950s ranch kitchen — a 2026 customer said the small space was maximized - An addition build — a 2025 customer described a master bedroom with en suite **Concerns:** - Expired MA registration — home improvement registration 180567 is expired on the state registry ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A recent customer said Rob and the crew fixed surprises found behind the walls quickly and stayed on schedule during a first-floor renovation _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT21SUGNuSm1hMmhNTlZkQlkzTlRRMkk1VjFweVJrRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x49b3fcecce0db714!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOmRPcnJma2hMNVdBY3NTQ2I5V1pyRkE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Rob and his crew did an outstanding job on our complete 1st floor renovation.
