STL Remodeling & General Contracting is a Groton, Massachusetts sole proprietorship run by Richard Johnson. BBB says it has been in business 26 years and offers complete home remodeling and general contracting; Houzz lists 11 projects spanning roofing, kitchens, bathrooms, decks, windows, siding, masonry, and repairs. The customer comments are consistently positive but all are older, from 2014 through 2019. Homeowners described clean, courteous work, prompt responses, reasonable pricing, and projects ranging from roofing and doors to a converted office, drainage, decks, and plumbing related repairs. The key item to settle before hiring is licensing. BuildZoom says license 149613 expired August 9, 2025 and assigns a score of 0 because it could not verify an active license, while BBB lists license numbers 149613 and CS-111106 without asserting current status. Confirm the current Massachusetts status and the exact license covering the planned work. The company fits homeowners seeking a broad remodeling or repair contractor.

Rick and his team were great to work with. They did a wonderful job converting the room over the garage to an office space for me. I highly recommend STL.
Impressed! We contacted Rick Johnson regarding replacing our front door. By the time we finished our first face to face meeting, we hired him to replace the door, the garage entry door, and roof; we felt that comfortable. He was professional, honest, didn't try to 'upsell' any of the projects. In addition, Rick was always prompt, whether it was a consult meeting or the days that he was here on the job site. Working with Rick was very easy; once we signed the contract, he did the leg work of applying for/picking up permit, arranging the roofing contractor, and picking up the supplies. We felt that he went the extra mile; there was an issue with the existing paver stairs and he took care of it. He left the worksite very clean. As far as we are concerned, Rick Johnson will be the contractor that we call in the future!
Repair of wall and ceiling where irrigation pipe had burst and replacement of pipe and installation of access door. It involved fishing new line through wall and boxing int in and finishing the wall and celiling around it. Work was well done, clean, courteous and reasonably priced.
When I needed my bulkhead metal door replaced along with some trim that had rotted around it, I went to Lowes for my purchase. From their in-house 'Angie's' type list I chose a contractor for the job, Mr. Johnson of SKY'S THE LIMIT Groton, MA) remodeling service. I was so pleased with the work that when I replace my deck next spring, it will be Mr. Johnson that I call. He returned my calls right away (rare, in my opinion, and much appreciated!), picked up my materials from Lowe's for me, was on time for work, charged a reasonable rate, did a beautiful job, left the site clean, and was a polite. Isn't this the way it should always be??? Deborah Hencke
Sky's The Limit through its owner, Rick Johnson, has done several homeowner related projects for me over the past several years. The projects Sky's The Limit has done for my wife and I have ranged widely from repairs to and replacement of property fencing, installation of a new cellar bulkhead, resolution of plumbing issues and window shades to major projects. Among the latter were the remodeling of the upstairs master bathroom, a full kitchen remodeling except for existing cabinets, construction of a large outdoor deck off our family room, the design and construction of an extensive French drainage system around our house and the building of an outdoor slate patio. Most recently, the firm presided over the installation of a new standby electric power generating system for my house with excellent results. I have been fully satisfied with the quality, timeliness and pricing of Sky’s The Limit's work. I’ve found the firm to be consistently competitive in all three categories. I now use the firm essentially as a general contractor when I need homeowner assistance. Rick Johnson and the firm stand by their work and have always been available on short notice to handle emergencies as they may come up regardless of the size, expense or complexity of the issues involved. I can think of no instance where my wife and I were disappointed in a Sky’s the Limit project.
