In a 2024 review, a customer described a pipe bursting in their apartment on a 3-degree January day, calling the fire department, then finding Total Contracting online. That is the kind of job this Newton company is built around: its site describes full-service construction and disaster restoration — remodeling, property damage reconstruction, general home services and design-build across Greater Boston and New England. The emergencies turn up again in an April 2025 review, where a broken sewer lateral did major damage to a basement and the customer named Rick, Jake and the team as organized. An August 2024 reviewer had mold remediation done and said Kory walked them through the whole process, with a time-sensitive home inspection fitted in the day after they called. An October 2024 customer named Kory again on house repairs, and a September 2024 review mentions constant communication and a garage door that came out perfect. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration #213803 is active on the state registry. One thing to sort out before signing: the site says fire, water and mold work is routed through a sister company, DryBoston, so ask who holds your contract and whose crew is on site. On Google it carries a 4.5-star average from eight ratings. For a burst pipe or flood cleanup in Greater Boston, this is a sensible call to make — settle the DryBoston hand-off up front and get the scope and price in writing before work starts.
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.
Great company! The owners are extremely professional and provide a great service!
Excellent service. Communication was constant and our garage door came out perfect! Thanks again
