What Our Customers Say
Energy-Performance Focused Retrofitting
We take a holistic approach to improving building performance, coordinating MEP upgrades with insulation, ventilation, and energy monitoring solutions. This ensures that your home or multi-family property not only uses less energy but also provides better indoor air quality and consistent comfort.
Our energy-focused retrofits lower carbon emissions, extend the lifespan of building systems, and deliver measurable savings on utility costs, all while enhancing resiliency and sustainability for modern living.
MEP System Upgrades
Outdated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems can limit comfort, efficiency, and safety. Our team retrofits and modernizes HVAC units, ductwork, electrical panels, wiring, lighting, and plumbing to meet current code and performance standards. We also integrate smart controls, high-efficiency equipment, and water-saving plumbing solutions, reducing energy waste and utility costs.
For multi-family buildings, we optimize layouts and systems to ensure reliable performance for all occupants, improving comfort, safety, and long-term building value.
You May Qualify For Financial Assistance in Boston
Making your home more energy-efficient not only reduces utility costs but also increases comfort and long-term property value. For Boston homeowners, several programs provide financial support to help fund energy-saving retrofits, from heating and cooling upgrades to solar panels and weatherization. These options make it easier to invest in improvements without bearing the full cost upfront, such as:
Energy Saver Home Loan Program (ESHLP)
The Energy Saver Home Loan Program (ESHLP) helps Massachusetts homeowners finance energy-efficient upgrades and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. This low-interest, second mortgage program covers improvements such as heat pumps, solar panels, battery storage, EV charging stations, roof replacement, and weatherization. Working with a Concierge Service Provider (CSP), eligible homeowners receive guidance through assessments, contractor selection, financing, and project completion. Homes must be primary residences, single-family or 2–4 unit properties, and the improvements must reduce total energy use by at least 20%. ESHLP offers a streamlined way to finance high-performance renovations while increasing comfort, lowering energy bills, and reducing your carbon footprint. Learn more here.
HomeWorks Green Loan Program
Looking to make your Boston home more energy-efficient? The HomeWorks Green Loan Program, offered through the Boston Home Center in partnership with Mass Save, provides financial assistance to income-eligible homeowners for energy-saving home repairs. By combining this loan with a Mass Save Home Energy Assessment, you can reduce utility costs, resolve barriers to electrification, and make necessary health and safety improvements. Eligible homeowners who own and occupy 1–4 unit homes or condos may receive interest-free loans to cover energy-efficiency upgrades, structural repairs, and other eligible renovations. The program helps unlock additional Mass Save incentives, making it easier to improve your home’s comfort, sustainability, and long-term value. Learn more here.
What Makes Beantown Builders Different
Integrated Design-Build Process
We handle everything under one roof — from design and permitting to construction and final finishes.
That means one contract, one team, and total accountability from start to finish.
3D Visualization and Pre-Construction Clarity
Every project begins with a detailed design and 3D rendering, so clients can see their finished space before construction starts. This eliminates uncertainty, reduces change orders, and builds trust early.
Performance Modernization
We don’t just make homes look new; we make them perform better. That means improved efficiency, smarter layouts, better ventilation, and long-term durability built into every project.
Licensed, Certified, and Code-Focused Expertise
We bring deep construction knowledge. Our team includes licensed builders, lead-safe renovators, and design professionals who ensure every project passes inspection the first time.
Compassion-Driven Construction
We lead with empathy. Home remodeling can be stressful, and our process is built around communication, respect, and transparency. We take the time to understand each client’s situation and goals before building.
Proven Track Record Across Project Scales
From single bathrooms to multi-unit rehabs and full additions, we have decades of experience in managing complex residential and light commercial projects — on time and within budget.
Local Roots, Boston Grit
We’re a Boston-born company built on craftsmanship, honesty, and blue-collar pride. We embrace the city’s history — restoring it, modernizing it, and building what comes next.
Seamless Communication and Technology Integration
We use modern tools to keep clients and teams in sync — real-time updates, photos, and progress tracking all available to you online or on your mobile so you are always informed.
