Highlights

  • Seen on Reddit β€” 2 mentions in r/CambridgeMA and r/somerville, mostly positive
  • Registry-verified licenses β€” both CSL and HIC registrations active
  • Strong permit record β€” BuildZoom score of 98, top tier in MA
  • Reddit recommendation β€” named unprompted for general contracting work

Roycroft Restoration is Andrew Brandt's general contracting shop in Somerville, built around older buildings β€” porch and exterior repairs, historic restoration, and custom woodworking sit alongside the usual kitchen and bath work. The clearest signal on quality comes from permit records rather than reviews: BuildZoom's own scoring puts the company at 98, ahead of 84% of Massachusetts contractors, built off 12 permitted projects that include kitchen and bathroom renovations across Somerville, Cambridge and Malden. Brandt holds both a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor's License and a Home Improvement Contractor registration, and both are active with the state. In a 2026 Reddit thread, a commenter named Roycroft unprompted when asked for contractor recommendations, pointing people to the company's website. Anyone hiring for restoration or older-home work can lean on the permit history and licensing to vet the basics, then ask to see recent project photos or talk to a past client directly before booking.
