A couple went away on vacation and came home to new windows and doors installed, the house and the yard exactly as they had left them. That account, written in March 2026, gets at what customers of Wells & Company Builders keep putting in writing — not only the finished work, but how little disruption they had to live through to get it. Toby Wells runs the firm out of Wenham. The company describes itself as second-generation and family-owned, doing design-forward, sustainable renovations and new homes across the North Shore and greater Boston. Its Better Business Bureau profile grades it A+ and shows six years in business. The jobs are more often whole-house than single-room. One family writing in March 2026 had the kitchen, the first-floor living area and every bathroom in the house remodeled as one project. A 2023 customer with an 1890s period home wanted modern electrical and updates that kept the original character; another in 2023 had a 1930 Georgian Colonial reworked for better flow, from a designer's plan, without gutting it. Additions and finished space turn up too: a sunroom addition and a bathroom renovation for one repeat client in 2024, an attic finished in 2023 with the insulation and sound dampening that customer specifically wanted, and a 2023 master bathroom where a tub and enclosed shower came out for a larger shower and a linen closet — demolition, plumbing, electrical, framing and tile in one run. What customers credit most is the front end. A May 2026 homeowner described the approach as heavy planning up front to keep surprises out of the build; a 2024 client said Toby was thoughtful about pricing and steered them to stay inside their budget while still getting the result they wanted. Several go out of their way to praise the subcontractors he brings in, which is not a thing homeowners usually mention. When pandemic-era material shortages hit a Jamaica Plain Colonial mid-project — recalled by that customer in a March 2026 review — they wrote that the crew stayed steady and delivered what had been promised, delays and all. People come back. One reviewer counted two renovations and a post-storm garage repair; another listed three projects at the same house; a condo owner had a major kitchen done and then smaller repairs before renting the unit out. If you are renovating an older house and care what happens to it — the flow, the trim, the details that make it what it is — this is that kind of builder, with Toby present while the work runs. Settle the scope and the budget in the planning stage: the customers who sound happiest are the ones who had those long conversations before anyone picked up a tool.
We could not be happier with our home renovations performed by Wells and Co! From the start of the project, Toby was kind, attentive, and detail oriented. Wells and Co's approach is very focused on planning up front, minimizing surprises, and delivering beautifully finished and highly functional spaces. The team excelled at clear communication throughout the process, sharing updates via virtual/on-site meetings and presenting options clearly and with no pressuring when plans needed to change or design ideas shifted. The team was always open to accommodate changes along the way, whether big (vaulting a ceiling) or small (adding an electrical outlet). I always felt like we were aligned in the goal of delivering a space our family would love living in. As we settle into our new (old) home, the quality of the craftsmanship is evident all around us and reflects the whole Wells team's clear commitment to the company's mission as well as the skill of the leads and subs who contributed to the project. When embarking on a home renovation project there are a lot of stressors to consider. Will this project finish on time? Will we stay in budget? What will happen when unexpected things pop up? Will the team be straight with me about the issues or paper over them? What happens if (when?) I want to change something mid-project? In all these cases we were thrilled with Wells and Co's performance. Our project was delivered within budget, on time, and meets our needs and desires perfectly. We recommend Wells and Co without reservations for your next home project.
We hired Wells and Company Builders to remodel our kitchen, first floor living area as well as all the bathrooms in our home, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The project was very well executed from start to finish, the team was highly responsive, showed great attention to detail, and completed everything in a timely manner. What really stood out was their communication. The team had regular meetings with us throughout both the planning and execution phases, and acted promptly on every suggestion or feedback we gave. It made the whole process feel collaborative and stress-free. Even after the project was completed, they remained just as prompt and attentive, quickly addressing any small touch-ups or loose ends related to their work. Highly recommend Toby Wells and his team to work with!
I've had Toby and team do a couple projects in my condo, a major kitchen renovation that turned out gorgeous and some more minor repairs and updates as I prepared the unit for renting. The team were always great to work with, very communicative, and did excellent work. They've also been extremely considerate with various small things that needed repairs after-the-fact, often considering them under warranty and fixing free of charge. Had I not moved out of Boston, I'd be continuing to use them for all my home renovation projects!
Wells & Company Builders is one of the best general contractors we’ve had the pleasure of working with. Toby and his team consistently deliver top‑tier craftsmanship, clear communication, and a level of professionalism that sets them apart in this industry. If you’re looking for a GC who does things the right way, communicates clearly, and produces beautiful work, Wells & Company Builders is the team you want. Highly recommended.
"Wells & Company Builders were a dream to work with for our residential remodeling project. My husband and I chose them for our first period home, and their fair pricing, exceptional professionalism, and creativity truly made them stand out. We highly recommend them!"
