This is the kind of builder people call when the renovation spreads across the house. In recent comments, Wells & Company Builders is handling a kitchen, all the bathrooms, a first-floor living area, a condo kitchen overhaul, and broader home-renovation work, with Toby's name appearing again and again. The company says it is a second-generation, family-owned construction firm in Wenham serving the North Shore and greater Boston, focused on residential renovations and new home projects, and it describes that work as design-forward and sustainability-minded. Process is the thread running through the recent praise. A May 2026 homeowner said Wells planned heavily up front, which helped limit surprises during a renovation and led to finished spaces they were happy with. Another described a kitchen, first-floor living area, and all-bathrooms remodel that felt well executed from start to finish, while a condo owner pointed to communication during a major kitchen renovation and smaller rental-prep repairs. A separate March review from owners of a period home said fair pricing and creativity helped them choose the company. The review history runs from 2021 through 2026 across several sites, but Google carries most of the detail. Google shows 18 ratings at 5 stars, and the last six months brought seven reviews with no negatives. Those posts are concrete: one homeowner said Wells installed windows and doors while the family was away and left the house and property exactly as found; another said a Colonial-home renovation ran into pandemic-era supply-chain problems but Wells still delivered what had been promised. Before calling, pin down how their planning phase works on your job. The homeowners who sound happiest are describing full-scope remodels with lots of decisions made early, so ask how allowances, change orders, schedule shifts, and day-to-day communication are handled once work begins. Its BBB page also says the business is not accredited, while still carrying an A+ grade, a 5.0-star BBB rating, and six years in business. This looks like a fit for homeowners planning a kitchen or bathroom remodel, a window-and-door package, or a broader renovation where coordination matters as much as the finish. Before booking, confirm the scope they take on most often, who your main contact will be, and what the company's "sustainable" approach changes in materials, budget, or timeline.

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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.
