Russell Mill Remodeling is a one-owner Plymouth outfit run by Shane Browning, who the company says passed his Construction Supervisor License exam in 2013 and started the business shortly after. The reviews describe a contractor built on repeat business — several of its seven Google reviews come from the same handful of families who kept calling him back for the next project. One family, for instance, had Shane complete three major projects over roughly ten years: remodeling both bathrooms, replacing every window, re-siding the house, and renovating a bedroom that included a custom floor-to-ceiling bookcase. That pattern of custom, detail-oriented carpentry shows up elsewhere too — a 2024 reviewer building a sunroom noted that Shane matched an unusual trim detail in their house without being asked, and a 2023 review describes an addition built to be accessible for a family member with health challenges. Additions are clearly a focus: a second-floor addition on a cottage in 2025, an in-law addition in 2023, and a porch addition that salvaged as much of a 35-year-old deck as possible to keep costs down in 2021. Across these jobs, reviewers consistently mention Shane's own hands-on communication — regular updates, answered questions, and a reasonable price kept honest even when it meant reusing old materials. The company is a Better Business Bureau Accredited Business with an A+ grade dating back to 2018. Worth knowing before calling: the state registry shows the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration as expired, so it's worth asking directly about current licensing status before signing a contract. For anyone on the South Shore or Cape Cod considering an addition, a multi-room remodel, or carpentry work that needs to match an older house's details, this is a small, owner-run shop with a decade of specific, repeat-customer praise — just confirm the license situation upfront.
We are delighted with Russell Mill Remodeling! We had a second floor added to our cottage. Shane was great to work with, the level of communication was perfect, we got a fair price, all workers were respectful to the property and to neighbors. Shane offered great advice and transparency when decisions were needed. Excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout! We plan to hire Russell Mill to remodel our kitchen at our primary home. We can’t think of anything to caution people about. If we could add anther star for someone that overachieved we would.

We have had Shane complete three major projects on our house over the past ten years. Recently he remodeled both of our bathrooms. He has also replaced all our windows and re-sided our house. Finally, he renovated our bedroom, including custom building a floor to ceiling bookcase that is beautiful. Shane is honest, reliable (he is there when he says he is going to be there), polite, thorough and meticulous in his work. His cabinetry skills are gifted. As our contractor, the tradespeople he brought in were polite, cleaned up after themselves and completed quality work. We highly recommend him for any job you may need done.
My wife, children, and I moved to Plymouth about a year ago to a well established house. However, it needed a few updates for a growing family. So, we searched for a general contractor, and we came upon, Shane, the owner of Russell Mill Remodeling. Shane has done two projects (upstairs bathroom and backyard deck) for our home that we are just absolutely thrilled with the results. We had so many thoughts and ideas that having Shane help conceptualize our plans the final results were impressive. Shane is knowledgeable and highly skilled. The attention to detail and execution you can really tell he wants to get it right the first time - perfectionist. We have another project down the road that we would like to have done and without hesitation we know who we will be calling. Thus, if you are looking for a general contractor look no further, Shane, is your guy.
Shane did a fantastic job taking our sunroom from blueprint to finish! He's very thorough, thoughtful and observant. For example, we have a fairly unique way that our doors are trimmed in the house and he matched that trim without even being asked to do so. (I'd even forgotten that it was different, and when I looked at the sunroom work, I realized he'd matched it!) He also replaced a porch for us without blueprints, and his design and execution was excellent and in keeping with the style of our other porches and the house. In short, if you have a little panic moment that you may have forgotten to relay some important detail, Shane's already noticed and has it covered. No stress needed!
Shane built an in law addition an did a fantastic job. He was always on time. Follows up on everything he did. Constantly we were updated as to what was next and the cost. It’s beautiful thanks to Russell Mill Remodeling.
