Tom Curren Companies

Tom Curren Companies is a long-running Auburndale general contractor — BBB Accredited since 2007 with an A+ grade, and holding an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration. Across Google, Houzz, and Best Pick Reports, the volume of work described is enormous: painting, kitchen and bathroom remodels, structural repairs, additions, and full-house renovations, most of it praised for organized project management and named staff who show up repeatedly across different reviews. The completed-work reviews are detailed and specific. One customer's structural project — removing an exterior wall and installing a steel support beam in a kitchen/dining area — took three months and is described as handled with flexibility and proactive communication. A five-month bathroom remodel that also involved fixing water leaks into the basement is praised for the lead carpenter's day-to-day coordination of subcontractors. A repeat customer says the company came back over a year after installing custom kitchen cabinetry to fix a drawer issue at no charge, even though the cabinet itself had been made by a third party — evidence, the reviewer says, that "they stand behind their work." There's a real pattern worth flagging before calling, though, separate from the completed-work praise: several reviews describe friction in the sales and quoting process itself, not the work. One prospective client says a company vice president showed up unannounced and spent half an hour lecturing about "the five Ps of hiring a contractor" before finally presenting numbers. Another says she was told her husband had to be present to review an estimate despite being the one who routinely handles household projects, and called the requirement insulting. A third felt the company only wanted larger, more profitable renovation jobs. Separately, an older (2017) review describes a signed contract's price rising by more than $30,000 after a walkthrough, and paying roughly $12,000 for cabinetry work a second contractor estimated should have cost a third of that. A 2025 review alleges the company would only correct faulty work if the customer agreed to book additional paid work — a serious claim, though an outlier against the broader record. None of this erases the volume of strong, specific praise here — most reviews, including the majority from the past six months, describe careful, well-communicated work — but the recurring theme in the negative accounts is less about workmanship and more about how prospective and past customers were sometimes treated commercially. For someone considering Tom Curren for a larger renovation, the track record on execution is strong; it's worth getting the full quote and scope in writing up front, and asking directly about their process for handling any post-installation issues.
