Rueli Builders is a Spencer general contractor founded by Dominick Rueli in 2018 and incorporated as an LLC in 2020; the company describes itself as family-owned and, per its own site, built around fire, water, smoke, mold and storm restoration alongside roofing, decks, additions and solar installation. The reviews split sharply by the kind of job. Several describe emergency calls the company answered quickly: in a January 2026 review, a customer described the company personally handling a widowed grandmother's flooded basement, which had flooded for the second time in a year, with the owner driving in from the Worcester area to reach the home within about two hours. A February 2025 review described the company navigating a burst-pipe insurance claim on the customer's behalf and making the process easier than expected, and another January 2026 review praised steady communication on a completed project. New-construction work reads very differently. Three January 2026 reviews describe customers who hired the company to build or rebuild a house: one reported cracks throughout the house and multiple leaks that the builder allegedly denied responsibility for; another described unlevel and unfinished work, doors and windows left uninsulated, and construction the reviewer said wasn't built to code, plus no response to calls or emails after final payment; a third, whose house was rebuilt after a fire, reported ongoing mold and leaks and said the company pushed for extra money after being paid upfront. That reviewer also alleged the owner had friends post five-star reviews around the same time — unverifiable here, but several of the positive reviews on file are dated that same week. The Better Business Bureau has accredited the company since August 2022 with an A+ grade, and its profile lists a Massachusetts CSL license (CS-113940) and Home Improvement Contractor registration (HIC 201548) for the business — the same numbers the company posts on its own site, though neither has been checked against the state registry here. Before signing on for ground-up construction or a rebuild, get the punch-list, code sign-off and payment schedule in writing; for a storm, fire or water emergency, the reviews here read more reassuring.
“Has anyone used Rueli Builders in Spencer MA? I have questions”
Rueli Builders was beyond professional. They offer great quality workmanship and completed the project on time. They went above and beyond from day one. They always stayed in touch each and every step of the way to keep our mind at ease. Highly recommend!
So thankful for Rueli. My single living/widowed nana, had a basement that flooded often. Owning the home 18 years now. When I reached out to Dominic’s company this was the 2nd time in 1 year it had flooded and she was feeling an absolutely defeated. It destroyed all my grandfather’s keepsakes and furniture they once enjoyed together. All mitigation outlets were unavailable until I was referred by a friend to Rueli. When I called Rueli builders he managed to show up personally and addressed it within 2 hours - this is including the time it had to have taken to drive from Worcester area to Westfield! Reliable and trustworthy to the very end of my nanas needs and damages. Thanks to these guys team, my nanas basement hasn’t flooded in over 2 years. These guys know how to rectify and alleviate a real bad situation into a guaranteed fixed situation. I highly recommend them. Hope you guys remember us!
Completely Unacceptable Work and Zero Accountability We hired this company to build a brand new home and were shocked by the quality of their work. Within a short time, we discovered cracks throughout the house and multiple leaks — issues that should never happen in a newly built home. What’s even worse is their response. Instead of taking responsibility, they denied fault, made excuses, and refused to properly fix their mistakes. We were left dealing with the stress, repairs, and extra costs for problems that were 100% caused by poor construction. A new home is supposed to bring peace of mind — not constant repairs and headaches. This company showed no professionalism, no accountability, and no care for their customers. I strongly recommend looking elsewhere unless you want to risk wasting your money on subpar work and zero support.
Quality of work ⭐️/5 communication ⭐️/5 Reliability ⭐️/5 Accountability ⭐️/5 Professionalism ⭐️/5 Shame on the builders. Hacked finish work. Left nothing plum nor level. Work left unfinished. House left uncleaned. Doors/windows not properly insulated. House not built to code. Disregards any punch list items. Doors do not shut correctly. Bathroom tiles chipped Charges Change orders for contractor mistakes. Nails found sticking out of door frames, along with stairs. Lots of rushed work. 0 warranty support. Has not answered calls, texts, nor emails sent after final payment. Floors uneven. Sloppy painting, paint sections of floor. Flimsy railing on both porch and decks. RUELI BUILDERS, far from builders. An all and 1 handyman would’ve build this house better.
Our house was deemed uninhabitable after our house fire, and it would’ve been better off staying that way. Dominick paid NO respect to our family, to our house, or to his employees. He was paid upfront and pushed for more money. The BRAND NEW house is nothing but shoddy, lazy, careless work. Leaks are consistent throughout the house, the basement is moldy due to water leakage, there’s continuous unfinished work, and cheap construction materials. When things started to surface, he had his friends write 5 star reviews saying he repaired their house fire damages EXACTLY at the same time he was building our house and complaining that it was taking too long. Dominick is down right obnoxious onsite and a theft at best, charging our family for ONE fixture FIVE times, and that doesn’t even scratch the surface. Insurance wasn’t much help and hundreds of thousands of dollars were robbed from elderly relatives. I would never in good conscience recommend this company, or this “man”, to anyone. He doesn’t have the decency to treat a family who suffered a house fire with enough respect to give them something livable. Shameful.
