# TruDesign Co. Inc. **Trade:** General Contractor / Remodeling · **Address:** 20 Station St Unit A, Weymouth, MA 02189, USA · **Phone:** (781) 803-3355 · **Website:** https://trudesignco.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.4/5** (medium confidence) — from 11 reviews across 6 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read TruDesign doesn't do small jobs — attic conversions into full guest suites, whole-house interior remodels with three bathrooms and a reconfigured kitchen, a detached two-car garage with a full second floor. It's a Weymouth design-build firm founded in 2016 by Steve Trudeau, who came to residential construction from a civil engineering and public-works background, and it runs on a small named team: Amy Markus, a Certified Kitchen and Bath Designer, leads design, and Ken runs project management on site. Recent Reddit chatter in r/SouthShore backs up the pattern — one 2026 thread got a direct answer that "Steve and Amy are great people and handle everything end-to-end," and an earlier 2023 Quincy-area thread had someone say they'd done a massive project with TruDesign and "wouldn't ever go with anyone other than Steve." The Google reviews tell the same story with more detail: in a 2025 review, the team turned an unfinished attic into a guest suite complete with a wet bar, full bath, and bedroom; another 2025 review describes a full interior remodel — three bathrooms, a full kitchen, walls closed up and rebuilt, fireplaces, new flooring, a finished basement — that reportedly ran ahead of schedule. A 2023 review covers a detached garage build with a full second floor that drew compliments from neighbors, and another 2023 review describes a custom kitchen dining nook with a built-in banquette, coffee bar, and china cabinet finished on time and on budget. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is verified active, and its BBB profile carries an A+ grade. Every review on file from 2022 to 2025 is five stars, and several return to the same specifics — jobs finishing on schedule, subcontractors well managed, sites kept clean. There's nothing here — no complaint, no dispute, no licensing issue — to weigh against that. For a homeowner in Weymouth or the wider South Shore planning a significant renovation — an addition, a full kitchen or bath remodel, or a structure like a garage — TruDesign has a design-build track record built on repeat, name-attached recommendations rather than anonymous praise. Given the scope of the projects described, expect a design-first process with Amy's team before construction starts, and budget accordingly for a full-service build rather than a quick fix. **Strengths:** - Whole-home remodels — additions, attic conversions, and full interior renovations - Reddit-recommended — named repeatedly across South Shore threads - Licensed & BBB A+ — active MA registration and top BBB grade - Named team — Steve, Amy, and Ken consistently credited across reviews - On-time & on-budget — several reviews cite projects finishing as promised ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Massachusetts home improvement contractor license #187164 verified active _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://contractorhub.mass.gov/s/hic-contractor-search) — “MA hic license 187164 verified active” - Better Business Bureau grade A+ _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/east-weymouth/profile/construction/trudesign-co-inc-0021-537135) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - Founded in 2016 by Steve Trudeau, who moved from a civil engineering/public-works background into residential design-build _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://trudesignco.com) — “Company history (self-reported): Founded in 2016 by Steve Trudeau, who moved from a civil engineering/public-works background into residenti…” - In a 2025 review, converted an unfinished attic into a guest suite with living area, wet bar, full bath, and bedroom _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURvanVmcUN3EAE!2m1!1s0x0:0x585a1c7c94923823!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgMDojufqCw%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ My wife and I can't recommend Steve Trudeau and his team at TruDesign highly enough.
