York Building & Remodeling is a Sandwich, MA outfit whose Houzz reviewers keep describing something bigger than a simple renovation: full custom-home builds run by owner Matt York, in business since 2008. Houzz lists a wide slate of work — home remodeling, bathroom and kitchen remodeling, general contracting, custom homes, new home construction, additions, basement remodeling, home restoration and energy-efficient builds — with 14 finished projects shown on the platform. The written record on Houzz is unusually consistent: five reviews, every one five stars, running from December 2018 to August 2020, and every single one names Matt York personally. In a January 2019 review, a homeowner who works in the building industry and vets contractors for a living said Matt "paid meticulous attention to every detail" and delivered the job on time; a December 2018 review credits him with finishing a new build "on time and on budget"; an October 2019 review names four crew members by first name for staying attentive through a full renovation. One 2019 reviewer, a repeat client, says she worked with York on multiple builds and fixes over more than four years. That record goes quiet after 2020, and the picture since then is thinner and mixed: Google shows the business at 2.3 stars from just three ratings, but the only visible text behind that number is a 2023 complaint about a company truck tailgating and passing dangerously on the road — not a comment on any remodeling work. What the other two Google ratings say isn't visible here. Houzz lists a home improvement contractor registration, HIC 162640, for the company, but that's Houzz's own listing rather than a state-verified record. The company isn't BBB accredited, and BBB shows no rating for it, citing insufficient information, with its file opened in February 2020. Its own website is currently a placeholder page under construction, offering no service detail beyond contact information. Anyone calling should ask what the shop has been building lately, since the detailed, specific praise on Houzz all dates to 2018–2020, and separately weigh the 2023 driving complaint for what it is — about a company truck on the road, not about a finished build. For a full custom home or a ground-up remodel with an owner directly on site, that 2018–2020 record is specific enough to be worth a call; just confirm current licensing and availability directly, since nothing here verifies either.
Company truck tailgated us and then passed dangerously. We were doing 10 mph over the limit but apparently that wasn't fast enough for them.
York Building and Remodeling does not disappoint! Matt and his team are professional and always answer your call, text or email in a timely manner. I interviewed 5 contractors prior to choosing Matt York. His knowledge and attention to detail made my decision to utilize York Builders very easy. Matt and his team helped me build the home I always envisioned. Our family recommends Matt York without hesitation.
The uttermost in professionalism and workmanship!! From our first meeting with Matt and throughout the entire renovation, Matt was supportive and attentive. Living through a renovation is no easy task but everyone involved with our project paid attention to detail and listened to our requests and concerns. Each of the tradesmen did their work on time and as expected. Through many conversations, photos, computer diagrams and drawings, our visions were brought to life!! We are thoroughly enjoying our new living space, kitchen and laundry room! Special thanks to Tommy, Gail, Peter B. for always keeping my spirits up when I didn't think I'd live through the renovations. To Ron and Billy for saving the day!! To Fernando and his painting crew for their beautiful work! And again to Matt, for delivering exactly what he promised!! When can we do the rest of our house??!!!!!
Matt and his team do excellent work - they are extremely responsive and communicative, always willing to talk through or make changes to projects as needed, and the quality of their work is top notch. I am a home owner and have been working with York on various builds and fixes (some have been extremely substantial and some more minor) for over 4 years and I strongly recommend York Construction for any project needs. They deliver.
My wife and I hired York Construction to build our home last year. I work in the building industry and I am on multiple job sites and interact with numerous builders each day, so when I decided to build a home, I knew my standards were high. I wanted to hire a contractor that was knowledgeable, reliable, and honest with the highest quality workmanship. The man that met those standards was Matt York. From the very beginning, I felt comfortable and confident that the entire project would run smoothly. Matt was professional, attentive, and helpful during each step of the process. He paid meticulous attention to every detail and made sure he got it right. The quality of workmanship was excellent, the job site was kept neat, and our home was finished on time. Each person involved in our project was a pleasure to work with. From the office staff, to the York employees and subcontractors, everyone involved in the construction of our home went the extra mile to be helpful and took great pride in their work. We are thrilled with our beautiful new home and we would wholeheartedly recommend York Construction to all of our family and friends.
