Thompson Brown Renovations

Thirty Google reviews, all but one of them five stars, and the single four-star write-up is the most useful thing on the page — it praises the work and then says the flat was not kept clean enough through demolition. Thompson Brown Renovations works out of 474 Main Street in Lynnfield and is run by owner Matt Thompson, a licensed real estate broker, with Ben, who the company says holds a Construction Supervisor license along with hoisting, OSHA, scaffolding, hot-work and first-aid certifications. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #219916, is active under the company's own name. The stated coverage runs from Lynnfield, Reading and Stoneham up the North Shore through Beverly, Manchester, Gloucester, Salem and Marblehead, and south to Quincy and Boston. Bathrooms and basements are what homeowners keep hiring them for. A homeowner writing in August 2025 described a bathroom finished on schedule with the coordination of subcontractors handled for her; an April 2025 reviewer's bathroom came in on time and on budget; a 2023 reviewer's basement conversion needed a full bath, HVAC and awkward framing and still landed on time. Kitchens run the same way — a 2024 client had a full first-floor makeover with refinished floors and new cabinets and counters, and a 2024 kitchen was done in under four weeks with pricing and timelines set out clearly up front. The commercial side is real too: this year Matt acted as general contractor on the buildout of a btone FITNESS reformer studio in Nashua, and in March took on a small-scale renovation at btone FITNESS Back Bay under a tight timeline that finished a full day early. Another business owner's Melrose studio was a full gut. In July 2026 a couple who moved to a rancher near Lynnfield came through a customer referral for a new deck and called the price reasonable. The one thing to raise before booking comes from that January 2025 four-star review: on a single-bathroom unit the owners said they would have wanted more dust protection during demolition and drywall work and a thorough clean at the end. Agree the dust containment and end-of-job cleaning in writing. Worth knowing too that the Construction Supervisor license the site credits to Ben carries no number, so it cannot be checked against the state — ask for it directly. For a homeowner in the Lynnfield and North Shore belt planning a bathroom, a basement or a whole-floor renovation, this is a well-documented, consistently-reviewed choice with an active registration. Ask for the supervisor license number, the written proposal (several reviewers noted the final bill matched it), and the site-protection plan.
