Total Contracting is a Newton-based general contractor that doubles as an emergency responder — the kind of company homeowners find mid-crisis and end up recommending. In one 2024 review, a pipe burst in an apartment on a 3-degree January night; the caller found Total Contracting in a search and had a crew on site by 9pm the same night. Its seven Google reviews, all from 2024 and 2025, run entirely five stars and describe real jobs rather than generic praise: a broken sewer lateral that flooded a basement, handled start to finish by Rick and Jake with what one reviewer called constant, transparent communication; a same-week mold remediation where Kory walked the homeowner through the process and squeezed in a time-sensitive inspection the day after they called, at pricing the reviewer called fair. Several reviews name Kory specifically as attentive and thorough on repair work. The company's own site describes it as a full-service construction and disaster-restoration outfit — remodeling and property-damage reconstruction across Greater Boston and New England, with fire, water, and mold work routed through a sister company, DryBoston. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active and verified. The review history here is short — seven reviews over about a year and a half — so it's worth confirming current availability and getting a written scope before booking, but nothing in the record so far points to any complaint.
They were professional and did a great job !
When my sewer lateral broke and caused major damage to my basement, I needed a construction company that could handle the job thoroughly and professionally. Rick, Jake and the team at Total Contracting delivered on every front. From day one, the entire team was organized, efficient, and incredibly easy to work with. Their transparency throughout the project gave me complete peace of mind, and their communication was top-notch—especially Jake, who was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and walk me through each phase of the reconstruction. I never felt out of the loop, and that level of attentiveness made all the difference. The work itself was excellent. The crew showed up on time, worked hard, and treated my home with care and respect. They didn’t just repair the damage—they transformed the basement into a space that’s even better than before. Every detail was handled with skill and pride. I highly recommend Total Contracting to anyone looking for reliable, skilled contractors who value honesty, clear communication, and quality work. They turned a tough situation into a truly positive experience.
Kory and the team are extremely professional, responsive, attentive to detail and very thorough with their work. Very happy with the outcome of the repairs in our house, we look forward to working with Total Contracting again in future projects.
