# Standard Home Service **Trade:** General Contractor / Remodeling · **Address:** 5 Candlewood Dr, Sandwich, MA 02563 · **Phone:** (508) 367-3448 · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.2/5** (low confidence) — from 2 reviews across 3 sources. ## The honest read Standard Home Service is a Sandwich, Massachusetts general contractor working out of 5 Candlewood Drive, offering additions, basement remodeling and accessory dwelling unit (ADU) work alongside general remodeling. Its Houzz profile lists three completed projects showing that range of work. Public feedback on the company is thin and mixed. A 2026 Google review rated the work five stars but gave no detail beyond calling the experience positive, while a 2022 Google review gave one star and specifically criticized how the owner talks to other people — a comment about conduct and communication rather than the quality of the work itself. No review bodies were found on Houzz, which currently shows zero customer reviews for the listing. The company's Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (#196138) is on file with the state registry but currently shows as expired; anyone hiring for additions or remodeling work covered by the HIC law should confirm current licensing status directly before booking. With so few reviews to go on, it's worth asking for recent references and getting a clear sense of communication style up front, given the one detailed complaint on record concerns exactly that. **Strengths:** - Multi-service remodeler — additions, basement remodeling and general contracting **Concerns:** - Licence status — MA HIC #196138 shows expired in the state registry - Communication concerns — a 2022 review cited how the owner talks to people - Thin review history — only two review bodies found across sources **Where sources disagree:** - MA HIC #196138 is registered to the individual Thomas P Wilson rather than the LLC entity name — consistent with a sole-proprietor registration, not a name mismatch ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Based at 5 Candlewood Drive, Sandwich, MA _(confidence: high)_ - [Houzz](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/standard-home-service-llc-pfvwus-pf~1578271796) — “Houzz profile for Standard Home Service LLC in Sandwich, MA (phone 508-367-3448, 5 Candlewood Drive, license number 196138 stated) listing g…” - Practices general contracting, home additions, basement remodeling and ADU work _(confidence: high)_ - [Houzz](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/standard-home-service-llc-pfvwus-pf~1578271796) — “Services offered (Houzz): Home Improvement Professionals, General Contractors, Accessory Dwelling Units, Home Remodeling, Home Additions, Ba…” - Houzz portfolio lists 3 completed projects _(confidence: high)_ - [Houzz](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/standard-home-service-llc-pfvwus-pf~1578271796) — “3 project(s) shown on Houzz” - MA HIC #196138 is registry-verified but currently shows expired _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://contractorhub.mass.gov/s/hic-contractor-search) — “MA hic license 196138 registry-verified expired — registry holder of record: Thomas P Wilson” - A 2022 review criticized how the owner communicates with people, not the work itself _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURtM3Mzdl9RRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x7540a7411010d530!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgIDm3s3v_QE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “1★ Would never recommend based on the way he talks to other people” - Google shows 2.3 stars from 3 ratings;
