Verified record
X'Clusive Renos & Remodeling is a Boston-based kitchen and bathroom remodeling contractor whose reviews center almost entirely on one person: Merit, the owner, who's named directly in the overwhelming majority of its 38 reviews since 2021. The company describes itself as Massachusetts-licensed and insured, specializing in kitchen and bath remodels, basement and attic finishing, ADUs, tile, and flooring — though no state licensing registry confirms that directly here; a Houzz directory listing separately cites a license number without independent verification. What comes through across years of reviews is consistency: full gut renovations, structural repairs on century-old homes, and multiple repeat customers who've hired Merit for more than one project. Several reviewers specifically praise honest, realistic pricing — one 2025 review credits him with not using inflation as an excuse to raise prices — and multiple describe projects finishing on the promised timeline and budget. A 2021 review describes Merit fixing a previous contractor's failed tile installation and properly sealing fixtures, and a 2022 review describes him returning the morning after a job to fix a small detail the homeowner had flagged. One October 2025 review describes a different experience: the reviewer says they were booked months in advance, then told a week before the job that the company couldn't go through with it, with no explanation given after the reviewer asked whether the company pulls permits. That timing, alongside the absence of any registry-verified license here, makes it worth confirming licensing and permit practices directly before signing a contract — especially for a larger renovation. The company's Houzz business page is currently listed as suspended, though its Google presence (4.9★ from 42 ratings) and the volume of detailed, named reviews here suggest an active, well-regarded local operation. For most kitchen and bathroom projects, the reviews point to careful, communicative work — the main thing worth nailing down up front is the paperwork.
Merit did an amazing job renovating my apartment—10/10, highly recommend! Great guy to work with, professional, and delivered excellent results.
Our old basement bathroom shower base had been leaking, and after reaching out to a few contractors without success, we discovered Xclusive Renos & Remodeling LLC through Google. From the very first consultation, our concerns were addressed. Merit, the owner, clearly explained what needed to be done, offered us options that fit our budget, and guided us through the process. The project was completed on time and with great attention to detail, from the plumbing work to the tile installation and even the shower glass. Throughout the repair, the team kept us updated on progress, which gave us peace of mind. We are beyond pleased with the results and grateful we chose Xclusive Renos & Remodeling LLC. The experience was professional, efficient, and stress-free. We will absolutely hire them again. 100% recommended!
I hired Xclusive Renos and Remodeling to renovate the 2nd floor unit of my rental property in Worcester. The project was a full gut renovation, including a completely new kitchen and bathroom. From the beginning, their communication was clear and consistent. I always knew what stage the work was in and what to expect next. The team was professional, stayed on schedule, and handled every part of the renovation with care. The transformation is just incredible. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and overall finish truly elevated the space. It was completed within the timeline we discussed, which I really appreciated. Overall, it was a smooth experience, and I’m very satisfied with the work they did. I would feel confident hiring them again for future projects.
If you're looking for the good old days of honest and fair contractors then this is the guy for you. If you're looking for a contractor that DOES NOT USE INFLATION as a BS fall back excuse to jack up the prices and rip you off then he's your guy. A contractor who is decent, fair, and genuine enough to talk you thru the projects step by step and is always updating you throughout the process. And if you're like me, who has a wild imagination and creativity for future home building projects, he also has the ability to honestly recommend what may work and what may not work. A genuine contractor that can save you from yourself and show you what is realistic while also can make some adjustments to fit your creativity and imagination. This is a general contractor to keep for the duration of the house. And finally without exaggeration a contractor that is a jack of all trades. "Somebody that knows somebody", from an electrician, to a plumber, to a floor guy; his personal network is impressive and they are all as genuine and professional as he is. Prices are fair, Labor and work is exceptional. Questions are answered. Work is completed. What else do you want? He's that guy.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Merit and the team at Xclusive Renos & Remodeling LLC are our go-to contractors in Boston! They transformed our attic bathroom in our 100+ year-old home—reframed the floor, installed gorgeous tile, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. We’ve worked with them for over 3 years on multiple projects, and every time the results are outstanding. Highly recommend!
