W F Hogan is a Norwood, Massachusetts general contractor built around one guy's name on every job site — nearly every customer who wrote about the company calls him "Frank," and its Better Business Bureau listing traces the company back to 1989, incorporated in 1992, with Frank Hogan as its president and license holder. People hire the company for the big stuff: whole-house renovations, additions, and kitchen remodels, the kind of projects where a homeowner trusts one crew with months of work in their home.
That trust shows up in the specifics. One customer describes hiring the company multiple times over the years — an addition, a finished basement, a kitchen and bathroom remodel, and a redone front porch — and calls the crew reliable and professional. Another recounts a 25-by-32-foot addition paired with a full renovation of three bathrooms, new HVAC and ductwork, a new roof, garage, and siding, and says the quality held up and the final cost matched the original quote. A third, on a $240,000 job, called the contractor fair and easy to work with. Eight reviews from October 2025 average 4.9 stars — seven five-star, one four-star — and Angi lists 37 years in business (though its own page elsewhere prints "Over 45 years," so lean on the lower, dedicated figure).
Worth knowing before calling: nearly all of that praise traces to one place. Angi and HomeAdvisor show the identical eight reviews — they're mirror copies of the same listing, not two independent sets of feedback — and on BuildZoom and Houzz, where the company also keeps a profile, there are no customer reviews at all. BuildZoom names an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration (#174866) alongside an older, inactive one (#110089); Angi, HomeAdvisor and BBB separately point to a Construction Supervisor license (CS-073411) held personally by Frank Hogan. None of these numbers has been checked against the state registry here, so treat them as the directories' own claims rather than confirmed status. The company also isn't BBB accredited and carries no BBB rating. Its listings don't even agree on an address — 66 Beech Street and 25 Cross Street, both in Norwood, appear on different directories, alongside an older Westwood address on BBB's file.
For a homeowner weighing a large renovation or addition, what's here is short but consistent: detailed, positive accounts from people who used the company for exactly that kind of project, with nothing negative on file. It's worth asking directly which address and license number are current today, and whether the company can point to recent references beyond the Angi/HomeAdvisor pair.
