Verified record
Thomas and Ana Construction is a Malden-based general contractor run by Ricardo Meneguel, self-described as offering kitchen and bath remodeling, deck installation and repair, window/siding/trim work, new construction, and historic restoration across the Boston area. Its own site describes "over two decades of building," though its Thumbtack profile separately lists nine years in business — worth asking about if history matters to you. The written record is deep and consistently strong: 18 reviews from 2023 through 2026 across Google and Thumbtack, all five stars, with 13 landing in the last six months and none negative. Recent jobs described include a full exterior siding replacement on a 125-year-old home that required lead-paint and asbestos abatement handled alongside local permitting, a detached garage addition where the crew managed layout, framing, siding and roofing, and a bathroom-and-pantry remodel that pulled in a full trade crew — plumber, electrician, painter and tiler — while staying on budget. A theme runs through nearly every review regardless of project size: Ricardo communicates proactively, shows up on schedule, and charges the price he quotes. Several repeat customers specifically credit that pricing honesty and the crew's habit of cleaning up daily. Earlier reviews from 2023, via Thumbtack, describe similar bathroom renovations and interior carpentry work in the same terms. The written reviews here lean more toward bathrooms, additions, siding and structural work than kitchen projects specifically — worth keeping in mind if a kitchen remodel is exactly what you're after.

Ricardo of Thomas and Ana Construction came highly recommended by a friend who had recently needed similar work on their house. Our project was to replace the exterior siding on a 125 year old home requiring both lead paint and asbestos abatement processes be followed. He understood the challenge and accepted the job with confidence. We are very pleased with his oversight, planning, and delivery of the project. He navigated the local permitting processes, complex abatement regulations, and provided the skills and team to deliver the project on time and on budget.
My wife and I were very happy with the work by Thomas & Ana for our house projects (significant closet reconstruction). Communicated well, showed up on time, reasonable rates, good quality work. We would recommend! Ricardo was very professionsl and polite, and had a great team.
Thomas & Ana Construction built our detached garage addition and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. Ricardo and the crew helped us with layout ideas, framing, siding, and roofing, and the final result looks like it was always part of the house. They kept the work area clean, showed up on time every day, and communicated with us during every phase of the project. If you need a licensed general contractor for a garage addition or home expansion, I highly recommend them. Quality craftsmanship and fair pricing.
Ricardo is a great person to work with. He is always attentive, always on time, the price he quotes you is the price you pay. I have worked with him on 3 occasions and will continue to work with him. He really cares and his work and he goes the extra mile. Call him.
Ricardo and his team were excellent!! They were incredibly communicative and I absolutely love the custom coffee bar they built for me. The craftsmanship is top notch and I am super impressed with their service!
