Roland Construction & Remodeling, run by Desmond Roland out of Quincy, has a well-documented history on BuildZoom — 33 permitted projects, mostly Boston-area kitchen, bathroom and multi-family remodels, filed between 2014 and 2019 — but its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is registry-verified expired, and BuildZoom's own license lookups show all four license records on file for the company, including a construction supervisor license, as inactive (one expired since 2018). The written praise is real but dated. In a 2021 review, a former East Boston homeowner described a full kitchen gut-and-rebuild and a basement turned into a finished space, with subcontractors on electrical, plumbing and masonry all called out as strong — plus a roof deck and full building restoration. A 2015 review on BuildZoom described a kitchen gut-and-rebuild delivered on the agreed scope and timeline, with the company communicating proactively about issues along the way. There's no review or permit record newer than 2021, and both license records on file have been inactive for years — confirm current registration and insurance directly before hiring, since Massachusetts requires an active home improvement contractor registration for this kind of work. If the licensing checks out, the earlier work described here — full gut renovations and multi-family remodels — is the kind of project this company built its reputation on.
