Top Notch Builders

Top Notch Builders is a design-build residential remodeling contractor at 486 Main Street in Wakefield, working behind the McGuire + Co. Kitchen & Bath showroom. The company says it was founded by Robert 'Rob' McGuire more than 25 years ago, and that he opened the showroom in 2018 so design and construction could be handled under one roof. The work it describes is whole-house in scope: kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions, full-home renovations, accessory dwelling units, and windows, porches and decks. Its stated service area is Wakefield, Greater Boston and the North Shore. What cannot be shown here is how any of that has gone for the people who paid for it. The only customer signal on file is a single five-star Google rating with no written account, so there is no rating on this page — that is a statement about the thinness of the public record, not about the quality of the work. No Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration has been confirmed for this legal entity either: a registration under a similarly-named limited liability company exists, but a name that close is not proof of the same business, so nothing is claimed for it here. For a homeowner considering a kitchen, bath or addition from a design-build firm with its own showroom, this is worth a conversation — and the first two questions should be its HIC registration number, so it can be checked against the state registry directly, and addresses of recent local work you can go and look at.
