WF Hogan Inc

W.F. Hogan, Inc. is a general contractor working out of Norwood, Massachusetts, owned by William F. Hogan — the "Frank" who shows up by name in nearly every review. The company handles kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions and full renovations, and its municipal permit trail runs from 2013 through 2024 across Brookline, Cambridge, Franklin and Medfield, covering everything from a tub-to-shower conversion to removing a load-bearing wall and setting new beams. The homeowners who wrote about the company in October 2025 describe repeat relationships rather than one-off jobs. One said Frank had built an addition, finished the basement, remodeled the kitchen and bathrooms and redone the front porch across multiple hires. Another listed baths, a deck, a roof, a front walkway and a stoop on top of a kitchen. A third described a 25-by-32-foot addition alongside a whole-house renovation — three new bathrooms, refinished floors, interior painting, new HVAC and ductwork, a new roof, garage and siding — and said friends hired the company after seeing the result. Two of those October 2025 comments speak to what usually goes wrong on big jobs: one reviewer said every subcontractor worked as scheduled and the total came in within the original quote. There are things to weigh. All eight reviews landed in the same month, and the Angi and HomeAdvisor listings carry that identical set rather than two independent bodies of feedback, so the 4.9 average rests on a narrower base than two separate 4.9-from-8 figures would suggest. The licence numbers also do not line up across sites: BuildZoom shows an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor licence 174866 plus an inactive 110089, while Angi and HomeAdvisor carry a self-reported trade licence CS-073411 expiring in September 2026. The Norwood address is given as 66 Beech Street on three sites and 25 Cross Street on Houzz. For a homeowner planning an addition or a gut renovation on the Norwood, Westwood and Dedham side of Boston, the permit record and the specificity in those October 2025 accounts make this a credible shop to get a quote from. Ask Frank directly which licence and registration numbers are current, confirm them with the state, and ask to walk one of the recent additions before signing.
