Featured Reviews for Cambridge, MA General Contractors

Fresh Start Contracting Company
Cambridge, MA General Contractors
Jan 29, 2015
“Fresh Start was excellent to work with from start to finish. They ordered a gorgeous reclaimed Heart Pine floor in our #1 Quartersawn grade for a high-end renovation job in Harvard Square. The job was well-organized and the schedule was budgeted appropriately to allow for flooring acclimation and installation times. Jobsite was neat and orderly and delivery was organized/executed well, despite the extremely narrow side street and tight driveways of the neighborhood. From start to finish, Fresh Start was easy to work with. They knew how to plan for and work with a high-end finish product and treated it and us with respect. Our experience working with them to patch historic white pine and Heart Pine floors in the area has been similar. We recommend their work to clients in the Boston area.”
Smart Coats
Cambridge, MA General Contractors
Apr 10, 2016
“What a great team! We were looking to redo the kitchen floor so a friend recommended us to Eddie, the owner. He actually came out himself and greeted us and did the estimate for us. It came in a tad higher than some other estimates we got. Just knowing his track record and from what other people have said about Eddie and his company was enough for us to make this easy decision to go with Smart Coats. The guys came and completed the work in no time! We barely noticed them there they were so clean. They did such a great job we're redoing our master bathroom and closet with Eddie. I can't say enough awesome things about Eddie and his crew, thank you so much for making our experience one to remember!”

“Jesse has worked on our house for years handling routine maintenance as well as major renovations -- from fixing doors to finishing a walk-up attic. He and his employees are responsible, courteous hard workers...and the work is always high quality. I recommend WORKS to anybody looking for a general contractor.”

“As a designer I am reliant upon the skill and passion of the people who execute the vision. I've worked extensively with Stealth construction through the years with great success and satisfaction. Collaboration, innovation and communication are the keys to a successful renovation and the relationship we have built as a team has enabled us to make our clients dreams into reality.”

“Alex & David from A D Construction LLC renovated my entire home. They did an excellent job. From start to finish our project was an awesome experience. Their professionalism is second to none.”
Capitol Construction
Cambridge, MA General Contractors
Jul 8, 2019
“Being this was our first time working with a home contractor in our first owned property, my wife and I were both very skeptical we might be taken advantage of, didn’t know what to expect and I feared the worst. However, looking back on our first major home improvement/renovation project, I am extremely thankful and blessed that our realtor referred us to Milton and Capitol Construction. Milton put all of my concerns to rest by not only delivering excellent, high quality renovations that my wife was very happy with for our new cabinets, interior walls/ceiling paint, window replacement and trim, but his service and professionalism were truly outstanding during the entire project. Because of this work, we decided to engage him to re-model our 2nd bathroom. Working in a profession where I need to, continuously, provide project updates to my clients, Milton did the same for us during our home renovations and went well beyond what I expected from a general contractor. Specifically, Milton texted or called us with updates on nearly a daily basis and he uncovered a major issue during his work. Our kitchen ceiling pipes were nearly ready to burst but, thankfully, he caught this before he installed our new cabinets so we could fix them. I estimate that this action saved us at least $6,000 and I greatly appreciated his self-initiative and communication on this. Bottom line, if you are looking for a competent general home contractor who will not only deliver the high quality home product you are looking for, but also provide exceptional & pleasant customer service, go to Milton and Capitol Construction. They will efficiently walk you through their process and fully understand what you want your new property to look like to ensure you are fully comfortable working with them. They will also not make you feel like an idiot for not knowing how to be a ‘handy man’ like I’ve heard other contractors do. Please feel free to send me a note directly with questions or more details and I’ll be glad to tell you everything about our great experience working with Milton and Capitol Construction.”
Stella Construction & Home Services

“Erik Kortz and Joe of Stella Construction & Home Services just completed a fifty square standing seam roof on my home in Rutland Town, Vermont. I would recommend this company and these two gentlemen. They were professional, fair, and did an outstanding job replacing my standing seam roof that was damage due to two serious hail storms earlier in 2014. The quality of the work was outstanding, and they cleaned up the property well and did not leave a mess. Mark Benetatos”
B&D Building & Remodeling
Cambridge, MA General Contractors
Apr 7, 2016
“B & D Building & Remodeling has completed 3 major projects for me in the past 20 years. A complete kitchen and addition on two homes and a commercial office. B & D always listened to my needs and honored my requests and I was especially amazed at the cleanliness of the job site throughout the entire project. All three projects were delivered on time according to schedule. I would highly recommend B & D for your next project!”

They are very professional, flexible, and we would highly recommend them to both homeowners and businesses that require superior property management and construction.”

What is a general contractor?


General, or construction contractors, are often known as project managers. They oversee the entire remodeling or new home construction project and facilitate all day-to-day tasks that move it toward completion. A Cambridge general building contractor will work with your architect to review plan as you build a house and ensure everything is in place before work is started as well as arrange for permits and necessary inspections. While good local home improvement contractors in Cambridge will have the skills to handle certain tasks onsite, such as carpentry, he or she is also responsible for hiring subcontractors for the majority of jobs, such as electrical work, painting or plumbing. In addition, the general contractor should be on-site regularly to inspect the progress and resolve issues. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of general contractors: Architects & Building Designers, Interior Designers & Decorators, Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers, Kitchen & Bath Designers, Specialty Contractors.

Home remodeling contractors are a must for successful completion of a renovation. Because of this, it's essential that you do your homework before deciding on the right general contractor in Cambridge as you remodel or build a house. Inspect bids carefully. Was it ready when the contractor promised it? Was the bid for building a home unusually high or low? Each of these things can be very telling: A late bid may reflect timing standards, and an off-the-mark bid could be code for a pricey premium or a deliberate underbid to score the remodeling job. You should call references, carefully read reviews and visit completed projects in Cambridge, MA to see if they’re what you expect for your job. Once you do secure your local Cambridge contractors, read the contract very carefully to be sure everyone is on the same page.

Questions to ask prospective Cambridge general contractors:


  • How long have you been in the business?
  • How many projects like mine have you completed?
  • Who will be working on the project?
  • What qualities do you look for in your subcontractors?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Are you licensed and insured?
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • What happens when costs exceed budget, whether due to materials or labor pricing changes? What about changes made by the client or by the professionals — what kinds of situations would cause those costs to be incurred?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • What do your services include?
  • When can your job get done?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
