## The honest read

Skills Renovation is a Maynard-based, owner-led MetroWest remodeling company focused on kitchens, bathrooms, decks and related home improvements. Lucas Terra is described as personally running projects, with Massachusetts CSL CS-119782 and HIC 207906 claims and a line-item estimate process.

Google reviews repeatedly praise responsive communication, careful workmanship, clean jobsites, fair pricing and on-time completion across kitchen, bathroom, basement, deck, addition and carpentry projects. Houzz lists 5.0 from 9 reviews and 21 projects, while the company website states 4.9 from 67 Google reviews.

Ask about project scope, permitting and subcontractor coordination on larger additions or remodels; one review describes permitting-related cost escalation even though the overall experience remained positive. Skills Renovation looks best suited to homeowners seeking hands-on remodeling with clear communication and detailed finishes.

**Strengths:**
- Responsive communication — reviewers repeatedly cite quick, clear updates
- Detailed workmanship — customers praise careful finishes and craftsmanship
- Clean job sites — homeowners mention daily cleanup and protection
- Fair estimates — reviewers cite transparent, competitive pricing

**Concerns:**
- Permitting and scope changes — one review described added costs from permitting issues
