Russell Mill Remodeling is a one-owner-operated shop run by Shane Browning out of Plymouth, and the throughline in its reviews is that people keep coming back to him — several describe multiple projects with him over years rather than a single job. One family had him complete three separate projects on their house over a decade: both bathrooms remodeled, all the windows replaced, the house re-sided, and a bedroom renovation that included a custom floor-to-ceiling bookcase. The specifics reviewers volunteer are the kind that are hard to fake: one homeowner noted he matched an unusual door-trim detail in a sunroom addition without being asked to, and rebuilt a porch to match the style of the rest of the house without working drawings. Others describe additions — an in-law suite, an accessible addition built for a family member with health challenges — completed with regular cost and schedule updates along the way. In a 2021 review, a homeowner noted a porch and deck replacement ran longer than hoped, attributed to pandemic-era supply chain delays rather than anything on Russell Mill's end. Its Better Business Bureau profile has carried an A+ rating and accredited status since December 2018, with no complaints on file. Worth knowing before calling: the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, verified against the state registry, currently shows expired — worth confirming its status directly before signing a contract. The company describes its focus as bathrooms, kitchens, additions, and custom carpentry across Plymouth, the South Shore, and Cape Cod, and founder Shane Browning has run it since 2013 after passing his construction supervisor license exam. For a homeowner looking for someone to build a long relationship with across several projects rather than a single one-off job, this is the profile the record points to — just confirm the registration is current first.
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.
