Leighton Construction
Waltham, MA General Contractors
Aug 13, 2017
“I hired Leighton Construction to build a two-story addition, create a open floor plan, and also remodel my kitchen and all of my bathrooms. It was a big project and I was impressed during all stages by Wes’ attention to detail and by his team’s craftsmanship. He and his team were very attuned to my wishes and worked hard to accommodate them at each stage. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Leighton Construction and would certainly hire them again for any project.”
Steveworks LLC
Waltham, MA General Contractors
Oct 8, 2014
“After interviewing several contractors, we are so glad we hired Steve and his crew to completely rebuild and expand our 1950s kitchen in our 1920s fixer-upper. Steve was incredibly detail oriented, yet flexible and patient in working with and advising us as we designed most of the kitchen and small addition project ourselves. He did everything possible to be respectful of our budget, even as we ran into a few (to be expected in an older home) small surprises. His advice was invaluable, and responsiveness immediate. Moreover, he agreed to work with our plumber with whom we are friends and already felt very comfortable with working on our home. His other subcontractors, including work on tile, plastering, and electrical, were all as pleasant and reliable as Steve himself. Steve was omnipresent; always making sure the job got done right no matter what stage it was in. Steve always made sure to make any touch ups needed after the subcontractors finished their work. Steve and his crew were not only nice to have around, but created a safe and even fun atmosphere while we lived through this major renovation and necessary disruption in our home. With their diligent work, we went from a cramped, awkward, and outdated kitchen, to one we love and doubles as both functional and sorely needed social space that our modest home previously lacked. Steveworks turned our ideas into such a great kitchen that we promptly hired them to completely renovate our dated bathroom. Steve worked with us, our sometimes quirky house, and a very tight budget to give us a dramatically improved space. We highly recommend Steveworks to anyone who is considering hiring a contractor. NOTE: Photo with orange counter is from before work began. The other photo is from just before project completion.”
Prather Construction

Apr 8, 2016
“The people at Prather Construction are highly professional and very trustworthy. They have done three projects for me over 20 years and each time I was completely satisfied. They work fast, are straight forward and easy to work with. They take pride in their work. I am an architect-owner. They built my house for me, high quality work throughout. Project costs were $20K, $2.2M and $100K respectively. I would hire them again without reservations!.”

“Joe Sa and his son Fabio did outstanding work for my wife and I. They did what they said they would, for the price they quoted and in the time frame they committed to. They built a beautiful rock and slate wall for the front of our Cambridge MA, house. The final product exceeded our expectations and has received many compliments from our neighbors – the wall looks like it has been there forever, it perfectly compliments our house Joe and Fabio are fine craftsmen who take a tremendous amount of pride in their work. After a few days of working with them, it was clear they were going to build something that they were proud to put their name on. They are also a real pleasure to work with, patiently explaining what they were doing and discussing potential modifications to our original plan. I would work with them again in a heat beat and recommend them without any reservations Andus Baker Cambridge, MA”

Steeplechase Builders Inc
Waltham, MA General Contractors
Feb 18, 2013
“It with great pleasure to recommend Eric Lee for his initiative, creativity and conscientious diligence as Project Supervisor for Steeplechase Builders. We are in the midst of a major home renovation which has been overrun with unexpected challenges---none of which have been a match for Eric's vision, creativity and master craftsmanship. In fact, the standard of excellence, integrity and flawless co-ordination of the Steeplechase team is unparalleled in our extensive experience with the many major home remodeling projects that we have done over the the past 20 years. To top it all a detailed comprehensive contract has kept the project surprisingly on budget. In addition, we are extremely impressed with Steeplechase Builders' highly skilled team of meticulous subcontrators for their adherence to the contract's promised seamlessly co-ordinated schedule, date of completion and fair pricing which is very rare in the building industry.”
MKB Partners LLC
Waltham, MA General Contractors
Dec 5, 2015
“MKB Partners remodeled my house over a year ago and I am so, so happy with the final product that I am leaving my first ever positive review on Houzz. We have nothing but the highest praise for the people, their professionalism, and the work. As someone who has lived through three major renovations that included kitchen remodels, finishing basements, adding bathrooms etc., this is one of the few companies that I would feel comfortable recommending to my family and friends. The work is of the highest quality. It's clear to anyone who walks in to my home that a lot of thought, effort and detail went into my home. From the hooks in our redesigned mudroom to this house being the most energy efficient home I have ever lived in, I could not be happier. They are extremely professional and kind to boot - during the worst winter we've ever had, MKB checked in on us to make sure that the house was weathering all the snow and then came to help us get snow off the roof preemptively. Every single one of our neighbors had issues with their home and the snow EXCEPT for us. It's rare to find this combination of skill and professionalism in this industry and I recommend them to anyone without reservation.”

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 Waltham 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 Waltham 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 Waltham 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 Waltham, MA to see if they’re what you expect for your job. Once you do secure your local Waltham contractors, read the contract very carefully to be sure everyone is on the same page.

Questions to ask prospective Waltham 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?
