Woodcat LLC is a Somerville, Massachusetts design-build general contractor run by Benjamin Dryer, renovating and building in the state since 2003 with a focus on historic and older homes alongside new construction and light commercial work. Building permits show the firm completed a $310,000 historic two-family-to-single-family renovation and an $180,000 theater buildout in Somerville in 2018. In 2024 and 2025 Reddit threads, other local tradespeople and residents describe the company's remodeling work as high-end and solid. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor license is shown as expired in the state registry.
“Somerville based plumber here, have done a lot of remodeling work in the city with Tom Anderson of Anderson and Sons Construction, and also Ben and Shellie at Woodcat Construction, both do fantastic high end remodeling work. We also handle full bathroom renovations ourselves I run B. M. Holmes Plumbing with my father who’s been doing plumbing for the last 50 years in Somerville.”
“Ben Dryer, Woodcat Comstruction. Very familiar with all the permitting stuff/ISD here in Somerville.”
“Sean has better guys, but Ben deals with more high end work. Both do solid work, no cutting corners”
“I’m a plumber in your area and I’ve worked with a ton of contractors, but the only two I can think of that would be be able to take on something like this would be Ben Dryer out of Somerville, or Sean Tierney out of Bedford I believe”
