Sarkisian Builders, Inc. is a Holden home builder and remodeler trading since 1962, when Patrick Z. Sarkisian founded it, and incorporated in 1979. It describes itself as a family business run on "honesty, trust, and respect", and homeowners deal with Greg and Patrick directly — the two are named together in most of the reviews. It works across Central Massachusetts: Holden, Rutland, Shrewsbury, Sterling, Westboro and Worcester. The credentials check out at the state level. Massachusetts lists SARKISIAN BUILDERS INC as the holder of an active Home Improvement Contractor registration, number 149656 — the same number the company publishes itself. The firm has been BBB-accredited since 1985, holds an A+ grade, and won that BBB's 2005 Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics. What they get hired for shows up in both the permit record and the reviews: additions, basement conversions, kitchens and bathrooms, and window, siding and roof replacement. Public permit data lists 153 permitted projects across Sterling, Holden, Boylston, Westborough and Worcester, typically valued near $70,000. Reviewers writing in 2024 and 2025 describe an addition where the firm handled design through finishing touches and permits, a basement converted for a daughter and grandchildren that came in on budget, and a window replacement done by "good communicators, kind and patient". The recurring theme in those accounts is that the process stayed calm. A 2025 reviewer who said they had dealt with dozens of contractors over the years called this the best of them, citing the consultation, the professionalism and a perfect clean-up. A 2025 addition customer wrote that the crew was organised enough that they "never felt like we lived in a 'construction zone'", and a 2024 basement client said minor bumps were resolved quickly and the job started early enough to move in ahead of schedule. Crew members are named by first name in a 2025 review, which fits a three-person outfit that subcontracts the rest. Two things to settle before signing. The Construction Supervisor licence is unclear — the company's site publishes CS-068457 while BuildZoom's sample of state records shows CS-012736 as inactive, and neither has been checked against the Department of Public Safety here, so ask to see the current card alongside the HIC registration. And the review record, while uniformly strong, is shallow and has not been added to for over a year, so ask for references from jobs finished since.
“Rutland/Holden - Patrick Z. "Pat" Sarkisian, 79, a longtime resident of Holden and Rutland and prominent business owner died peacefully at home, on Wednesday, September 8, 2021”
We recently had Sarkisian builders renovate our basement. From start to finish, everyone was amazing. Greg and Patrick were honest and excellent to work with. They provided helpful recommendations and ideas. Every member of their crew was professional and talented. We are so happy with our new space and definitely look forward to working with them in the future.
Responsive, fair, local, and reliable. Great to work with and very thorough. Would definitely give them a call again.
Sarkisian Builders were a pleasure to deal with from the initial consultation up through all the steps-- with absolute professionalism and communication. Over the years we've dealt with dozens of contractors and without exaggeration these folks were the best. Installation was beyond easy and they cleaned up perfectly. Would recommend them quickly and without reservation.
We had such a fabulous experience working with the Sarkisian Team! From start to finish they were professional— great communication and they kept all promises made. The work (windows, siding, and roof) was done by talented, hardworking, really nice humans! You cannot go wrong!
Working with Patrick and Greg was simply the best. When we decided to put on our addition they helped us with everything, from design, construction and finishing touches. Whenever we had questions they were prompt to answer and give us the best advice. The process was smooth with no major surprises and everything was explained in detail. The crew was very organized and we never felt like we lived in a "construction zone." They handled everything from permits to guiding us in where to shop for bathroom finishes and flooring. We live in Holden and were so grateful to have met Greg and Patrick. Would recommend them 110%.
