# Woodland Builders **Trade:** Kitchen Remodel · **Address:** 195 Hanover St Ste 3, Hanover, MA 02339, USA · **Phone:** (781) 380-4086 · **Website:** https://www.woodlandbuilders.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.5/5** (medium confidence) — from 16 reviews across 6 sources. 94% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 3 reviews, 1 negative. ## The honest read Tripp Woodland has run Woodland Builders in Hanover for about 13 years, and the volume of detailed reviews backs up a design-build shop that handles whole-home renovations, additions, and kitchen and bathroom remodels across the South Shore. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor license is active, and Tripp himself is a Licensed Construction Supervisor with more than 20 years in residential remodeling. The written record — 16 reviews stretching from 2021 through early 2026 — describes real project variety: full interior renovations spanning kitchen, bathrooms, mudroom and floors; a porch expansion on a Manomet cottage; an entire wing reworked into a mudroom and walk-in dressing room with a new master bath; and additions and outdoor kitchens. One 2021 review said Tripp was the only one of four bidders whose quote actually matched what was discussed, with no surprise add-ons later. Reviewers consistently name project managers Tripp and Jay, describing weekly progress emails, detailed upfront estimates, and being kept informed day to day. The company has also collected real industry recognition: NARI Contractor of the Year awards in 2019 and 2020 (gold for a residential exterior project and an addition over $200,000, silver for a kitchen), plus a 2023 BRAGB PRISM award for outdoor living design. That said, one review from March 2026 tells a different story: a five-month project marked by workmanship and site-management problems, including windows left open in rainstorms, exterior doors left unlocked overnight, uneven bathroom tile with missing grout, and uneven, cracking paint. It's a specific, detailed account and stands apart from the rest of the record, so it's worth raising directly — ask how site supervision would be staffed on a project the size of yours. For a homeowner weighing a sizable renovation — an addition, a full-floor gut, or a multi-room remodel — Woodland Builders has the track record and awards to be a serious contender, but the one detailed complaint on file is worth a direct conversation before signing. **Strengths:** - Repeat clients — several reviewers hired Woodland Builders more than once - Project communication — weekly updates and detailed estimates cited across many jobs - Industry awards — multiple NARI Contractor of the Year and BRAGB honors **Concerns:** - Workmanship complaint — a 2026 review cited uneven tile, missing grout and doors left unlocked overnight on a five-month project **Where sources disagree:** - Houzz lists a different street address (1112 Washington St) than the company's own site and BBB (195 Hanover St), though phone, website and owner name match across sources. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Massachusetts home improvement contractor license is registry-verified active _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://contractorhub.mass.gov/s/hic-contractor-search) — “MA hic license 200959 verified active” - Owner Tripp Woodland is a Licensed Construction Supervisor with 20+ years of experience _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](https://www.woodlandbuilders.com) — “Ownership (self-reported): Owner-operated by Tripp Woodland, President and Licensed Construction Supervisor, with over 20 years of experienc…” - Repeat clients — several reviewers hired Woodland Builders more than once _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT25ONmRVVnFUMjlwZEdseGNrWlpYMTlXY0dKNmRsRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xc75cdc93f3095a9a!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOnN6dUVqT29pdGlxckZZX19WcGJ6dlE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ I’ve worked with Woodland Builders many times over the last three years.
