Foxborough general contractor Touchstone — until recently doing business as Transblue Norfolk — has an unusually consistent story across three review platforms: 25 five-star Google ratings and 36 on Angi averaging 4.9 stars, and reviewers keep circling back to one name, owner Jose DaSilva, and one theme: communication. The company says it's been in business 25 years, run by DaSilva, working residential remodels, additions and outdoor-living projects across Norfolk County and nearby communities. Customers who hired Touchstone for bathroom remodels, additions and basement finishes describe a similar pattern: frequent updates and photos along the way, and a willingness to adapt when a project's scope shifts mid-job. A recent Google review credited Jose with managing "all the moving parts" of a garage addition, and an older one described a pickleball-court install where the crew kept the homeowner informed of the timeline throughout. A couple of customers came back for a second project after the first one went well — one pair hired Touchstone again for a bedroom addition after an entryway, bathroom and sunroom job. On the BBB, one customer described a full home project — a deck rebuild, a basement remodel, an electrical update — as everything hoped for as a first-time homeowner. One thing worth knowing before booking: a BBB review said the initial sales pitch promised a 6–8 week delivery that didn't hold. It's the only negative account on file, set against a long run of jobs reviewers describe as finishing on schedule. Its Massachusetts registrations — a home improvement contractor number and a construction supervisor licence, both listed on BBB and on the company's own site with 2027 expirations — are the numbers the company itself reports rather than something checked against the state registry here. One detail worth asking about directly: BBB puts the company's age at 5 years, while its own website claims 25 years in business. For a remodel, an addition, or an outdoor project like a deck or a game court, Touchstone's record points to a shop whose customers keep coming back and keep praising the same thing — being kept in the loop. Before signing, it's worth pinning down a firm timeline in writing, given the one account of a missed delivery estimate.
We selected Touchstone to build an addition on our garage. From the start, we found Jose to be very genuine, communicative and an excellent thought partner. What we were most impressed by was Jose's consistent communication and his ability to manage all the moving parts of this build. This was no easy task, getting a surveyor for the permit, aligning inspectors every step of the way, excavation equipment, foundation crew, framing crew, electricians, garage door installs, etc., he orchestrated the timing of all of it extremely well. We are very happy with the finished product and would highly recommend Jose and his crew! We will absolutely turn to Touchstone for future projects!
Jose and his team were a pleasure to work with. They did an amazing job on our bathroom remodel. The communication throughout the project was great and the quality of work was top notch. I would definitely recommend hiring Touchstone for future projects.
We recently had our basement finished by Touchstone General Contractor and we could not be more pleased with their workmanship, attention to detail and customer service. Jose and his team were excellent and really spent the time to understand our vision and needs from the first proposal visit through construction. He communicated any issues encountered and had solutions ready to present to us for to keep the project moving forward. They finished ahead of schedule and took all the hassle of permits, inspections and deliveries off our hands. We solicited quotes from multiple contractors, but were blown away with the attention to detail for every aspect of the job, especially with the detail provided in their proposal to understand exactly what each task costs (something most contractors do not do!). We would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to have work done on their homes and are already looking for our next project to complete with Touchstone!
Worked fast and was flexible with changing needs as the project evolved
Jose and crew did an outstanding job of doing over our bathroom and replace four windows. Our house is old and everyone did a great job of working through unanticipated things (that really could not have been forseen). Jose was a constant presence and does a great job of talking to his clients and his crew, keeping everyone in synch. This is a very hard working group that cares about what the customer wants. We are very happy with the outcome of both bathroom remodel and window replacement and highly recommend Touchstone to anyone looking for home renovation or addition.
