Sousa Construction is a Medford outfit that Somerville neighbors keep naming when someone asks who did their renovation. In a 2025 Reddit post, a longtime customer said the crew has "basically renovated every house on our block"; another wrote in 2023 that Paulo took on three major renovations for their own home. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and BuildZoom's permit records back the renovation focus: 43 permits on file, mostly in Brookline and Chestnut Hill, including a $196,650 first-floor remodel with a new side door and porch, a $47,900 second-floor bathroom remodel with a wall removed, and a basement stair and guest-bathroom build-out, all completed in 2024 and 2025. There's no Google review history yet, so word of mouth and the permit record are what's available before calling — worth asking for recent project photos or references directly given how little published feedback there is so far.
“I have used Paulo Souza for years he’s local and a very good dude - he has basically reno’d every house on our block now: (617) 501-2736.”
“Souza Construction is Mr Somerville. I love my boy Paulo, he had done three major renos for us”
