T-Bone Builders is a one-person remodeling outfit run by Terrance Johnson out of 6 Oakledge Road in Swampscott, started and incorporated in April 2018. What exists in public is mostly paperwork. BuildZoom shows two permits: a $26,000 kitchen remodel in Danvers completed in January 2022, and a deck and railing replacement in Marblehead from June 2021 whose permit is listed as suspended — worth asking him about directly. Both BBB and BuildZoom list a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration numbered 143880; BuildZoom says it checked that registration as active in July 2026, though neither is a state-registry verification we performed. The only customer voice on file is a testimonial the company itself published in 2019, in which a homeowner credited Terry with steady communication — answering calls and texts — and with steering them through the Massachusetts renovation permitting process. A testimonial a business chooses to print is not the same as an independent review. Neither the BBB nor BuildZoom carries any reviews, so there is not enough here to rate the work. If you are considering him for a kitchen, ask for recent local references, the story behind the suspended Marblehead permit, and a written scope and price.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from T Bone Builders. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Cabinets are roughly 30% of a kitchen budget.
Estimated range
$23,000 – $35,000
Typical kitchen remodel around $29,000
“Terry is an incredibly easy-going and upbeat fellow who's been GREAT in communicating, answering my calls and frequent text messages, and, most importantly guiding Val and I through the landmines that are found in the Massachusetts renovation process.”
