VASCO

Vasco Inc. is a New Bedford general contractor built around whole-project remodels — additions, kitchens, bathrooms, and full room rebuilds — the kind of work homeowners describe finishing with the house looking different, not just patched. Nine Google reviews since 2022 tell largely the same story: Marcos Vasconcelos and his crew show up, do the finish work carefully, and communicate along the way. The specifics carry the weight. In a January 2026 review, a homeowner described Vasco stepping in after a fire damaged a three-family building and transforming it — dependable and transparent through the whole renovation. In a 2024 review, another customer walked through remodeling a walk-in shower in a house over 100 years old, praising the crew for custom-fitting an uneven, century-old space. A 2023 review described a major water leak repaired cleanly through the Christmas holidays, with the homeowner specifically noting how little mess was left behind. Other reviews cite a front-door and entryway remodel, a back deck, and a run of bathroom, kitchen, and ceiling work going back to 2022 — the same names, Marcos and "the team", come up across nearly every account. There's one clear exception. A November 2022 review describes the company taking a deposit, doing some work, then never returning and never refunding the balance. It's a serious, specific complaint, and it stands alone against the run of detailed praise around it — worth asking about directly, along with getting a written contract and payment schedule before any deposit changes hands. Vasco Inc. says on its own site that it has held a perfect customer rating since May 2017 and that Marcos Vasconcelos has close to a decade of construction experience; it lists Fall River, New Bedford, Freetown, and the surrounding South Coast towns as its service area — the company's own account of its history, not something verified independently. For a homeowner planning a real renovation — an addition, a full bath, work in an older house that needs custom framing — this is a crew whose reviews describe finished, detailed work. Given the one unresolved complaint on record, confirm the payment schedule and get commitments in writing before the project starts.
