W. Faia General Contractor is a Swampscott outfit run by Mike Faia, whose crew shows up in a 2023 local news photo laying curbing along Humphrey Street. The reviews describe a general contracting operation comfortable with a wide range of jobs — kitchen remodels, demolition, foundation work, insulation, and water damage repair. The clearest example is a 2024 review describing a full kitchen remodel — the layout transformed, the old island removed, new appliances, cabinets, and vents installed — called flawless from start to finish. A 2025 review describes a wall demolition handled with clear communication and no surprises, and a 2023 review describes the crew digging out and building a foundation under a part of the house that didn't have one, closing off a gap that had let animals in. A 2022 review describes an attic insulation buildup done in coordination with Mass Save, and a 2024 review describes a water-damaged basement repaired reliably and neatly. Every review — six of them, from 2022 through 2025 — is five stars, and the same themes repeat: clear communication, on-time crews, fair pricing, and clean job sites. There isn't a documented complaint to weigh against that. For a Swampscott-area homeowner with a remodel, demolition, or foundation job, the pattern across several different project types is consistent: responsive, tidy, and fairly priced. With just six reviews so far, it's still worth confirming current availability directly.

William and Robert did a fantastic job on our wall demo. William communicated clearly throughout the entire process with no surprises and I was extremely happy with the result. They started the job on a date we agreed on and were always on time. I would definitely use them again in the future and would recommend them to anyone looking to get work done by trustworthy individuals!!
W. Faia contractors did our full kitchen remodel and it is fabulous. The entire layout was transformed, including the removal of the old island, the installation of new appliances, cabinets, vents, and much more. Every detail was handled flawlessly and the project was completed ahead of schedule! They even set up a temporary kitchen for us during the remodel conplete with the dishwasher and all the necessary appliances. I love my kitchen and the new layout. Everything works perfectly. I highly recommend their services. All in all, a winner!
This is an A+ team of young workmen! Responsive, professional, and meticulous. They arrived when scheduled, worked, cleaned up, left area neat, and delivered what was promised! Their attention to detail and work ethic is worth every cent! Highly recommended!
Great work. Reliable and polite. Very reasonable pricing and quick to respond to any communication. No mess very neat. Repaired water damaged basement. Highly recommend. Thank you Bill and Rob
Billy and Robert dug out and created a foundation underneath an area of the house that didn't have one, which was allowing animals to get in. They were quick to communicate, reliable, fairly priced, did great work, and really cleaned up after finishing the job. I have so much more peace of mind now knowing the issue was well taken care of and that it didn't break the bank. Thank you guys!
