Step By Step Construction, Inc.

Step By Step Construction is a Lancaster remodeler that people call for the bigger interior jobs — a finished basement, a new bathroom, a kitchen, an addition. Its Angi profile describes the company as family-owned, and BBB lists Fabio Oliveira as the owner. The written history is small and mostly older: five Angi reviews between 2018 and 2023, averaging 4.8 stars. What those customers describe is consistent. In a 2020 review, a homeowner whose basement got a small added bathroom called the owner honest and communicative and said the job finished on time and on budget at a fair price. A 2019 reviewer said the same about a basement remodel — patient through the decision process and the most reasonably priced bid they got — and the most recent account, from late 2023, praised Geferson Ribeiro for handling the material choices himself and landing the work inside the estimated time frame. A 2018 customer singled out the company for laying out options that cut time and cost. Two things are worth raising before you book. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#192892) has expired — the state registry shows it lapsed, and BuildZoom lists the expiration as March 2023. And in a 2019 review, a customer rated the company 3.5 stars after the crew pushed the start date twice, from Monday to Wednesday, before showing up and doing good work. For a basement, bathroom or kitchen project where you want the owner involved in the choices, the people who hired them came away satisfied — but ask when the contractor registration will be renewed, and get the start date in writing.
