Sincere Construction is a Somerville general contractor run by Azem Dervisevic, who the company says has led residential and commercial construction and remodeling work across the Metro Boston area for more than fifteen years. The reviews on file describe substantial projects, not small fixes. In a review posted in late 2025, a homeowner described gutting half a house, raising the ceiling into a cathedral roof with skylights, and removing structural walls to open up the living space. In a January 2026 review, a Cambridge condo owner described a full remodel that replaced a run-down, poorly-lit kitchen and reworked cramped rooms. A 2024 review described a custom bookshelf built to match the original trim of a 1910 triple-decker. Across these accounts, reviewers keep returning to the same point: Azem stays personally involved on site and is quick to resolve issues as they come up. The company also carries an A+ grade with no complaints on its BBB profile. One thing worth knowing: in a 2024 Reddit comment about North Shore siding costs, a commenter called the company "on the expensive side" while still describing the work itself as good — worth budgeting for on the higher end. A good fit for a homeowner planning a substantial renovation or a custom-built piece who wants the owner on site throughout; get a written estimate given the pricing feedback above before committing.
“Sincere Construction in Cambridge. My sense is that they're on the expensive side but they do good work. They seem to be busy all the time.”
Azem and his team were easy to work with, completed the job in a timely manner, and did quality work. Azem was directly involved through the entire process and quick to fix any issues that came up. He provided experienced advice but listened to us when we insisted on things. I would recommend Sincere to anyone looking to do construction or renovation.
Exceptional Transformation & Unmatched Professionalism! Azem from Sincere Construction completely transformed my Cambridge condo. I purchased my unit in 2020 at a budget price because of its poor condition—it was a maze of underutilized small spaces with a run-down kitchen and very little natural light. My goal was a full remodel, but the quoting process with other contractors was stressful; prices were opaque, risks were hidden, and some quotes were outrageously high. My realtor recommended Azem, and the difference was immediate. He was communicative, forthcoming about potential risks, and provided a detailed, itemized quote for labor and materials. His team handled the meticulous City of Cambridge permitting process with total professionalism. The result far exceeded my expectations. You can see the "now" vs. "then" pictures attached—it’s hard to believe those were even the same place! By changing the layout, adding windows, and updating the structure, Azem turned a cramped space into a "modern chic" home that feels significantly larger and airier. When I sold the condo last year, the property value had increased substantially—far beyond market growth. I attribute that success directly to the quality and attention to detail provided by Sincere Construction. Highly recommended!
Azem runs what is truly a sincere construction enterprise. His approach to business is open and honest. You always know exactly what you’re getting and he makes what is normally a stressful process, manageable and positive. His crew is detailed and professional. We had them gut a half of our house, raised the ceiling to create a cathedral roof with skylights, make structural changes to the house, removed barrier walls to create an open living space and did it exactly within the time agreed. They completed their work a few years ago now, and we are still very happy with all of it. Can’t recommend them enough.
Azem and his team worked on building a bookshelf in my living room that would blend with the rest of the decor in my triple decker condo that was built in 1910. I was impressed with Azem's eye and attention for detail, and how he ensured that the molding and trimming for the bookshelf matched its surroundings. Azem expertly assessed our home, and worked with us to determine the best construction option to meet our desire for quality and also our budget. The team was friendly, hard working, professional and clean. The work was completed without any fuss and exceeded our expectations on quality and decor. Due to the age of our home, floors are uneven and move. Azem's team did a great job to overcome this issue and I would recommend them without hesitation to others.
