## The honest read

Spero Builders is a Swampscott, MA general contractor run by Dan Speropolous, in business since 2008, taking on full-service residential work — additions, remodels, finished basements, kitchens, bathrooms and decks.

The written record is dated: five 2017 Houzz reviews describe distinct jobs in detail — redoing a mother's roof, soffits and gutters after a previous contractor botched them, replacing eight windows in a 3-season room plus more windows over a 6-7 year relationship, restoring noisy 1940s stairs, and consistently exact billing. Customers describe Dan personally as honest, helpful and hands-on with the crew.

A 2019 Houzz review tells a different story: an anonymous poster alleges the company took a deposit and never returned to finish the work, saying it went as far as court without the company appearing. It's the only account of its kind in the six years of reviews on file, but it stands unanswered.

Given how dated the positive record is and the one serious unanswered complaint, get a written project timeline and payment schedule before any deposit changes hands.

**Strengths:**
- Honest billing — a longtime customer praises exact, clear invoices
- Repeat client — one customer used them for 6-7 years of work

**Concerns:**
- Unfinished job — a 2019 review alleges a deposit taken with no return

- **1/5 · Houzz · H8HU-890714978 · 2019-04-04**: This company will take your money and not return to do the work. Do not hire these people. They will rip you off. You will take them to court and they will not show up.
