What Our Customers Say

Donald and Caroline were great in accommodating all of our needs and changes throughout the renovation of our parents' condo. They always kept open lines of communication, and made sure that we knew how any changes affected the total price of the project. We would absolutely use them again in the future.

Beantown Builders was a very professional with us. We completed a 203k gut rehab with them, and it was a good experience. The work was completed on time, and the project turned out great! The PM assigned to my job was awesome, and the owner took a vested interest in it as well, helping me through the design and lending process. Would highly recommend!!

Pulled me out of a hole and gave us a finished project of our dreams, literally, had a rehab loan, bad experience with the first Contractor, gave them a call, within a couple of weeks the house was nearly finished. Kudos for Donald, and his team, I recommend them to everybody who needs or asks me about them! 5 stars indeed and well deserved, once again THANK YOU, and await my call, I’ll be hiring you guys again no doubt!

Do you offer free estimates?

We provide one free estimate per property for simple, well-defined projects. Complex scopes or comparative estimates fall under our paid consulting services.

Not necessarily. If you don’t have plans, we can introduce you to our design partner to guide you through concept development, revisions, and permit-ready drawings.

We take on projects from $15,000 to over $1 million. Whether you’re rebuilding a porch or renovating a multi-family, we tailor our team to the scope and complexity of the job.

Yes. We offer financing through our lending partners. Visit the Financing section in the website menu to learn more and prequalify.

How soon can you start?

We start the process as soon as you’re ready. That includes intake, design handoff (if needed), planning, and permitting. Construction start dates vary based on project readiness, but our goal is to keep things moving efficiently from day one.

Do you handle permits?

Yes. We manage all permitting requirements for construction work. If you’re in the design phase, our design partner can also assist with permitting.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Beantown Builders is fully licensed and insured in Massachusetts. All subcontractors are vetted and carry the required licenses and insurance.

We do. We’re experienced with investor-driven projects, multi-unit rehabs, and value-add renovations. We understand lender requirements, draw schedules, and the importance of ROI.

How do you bill for work?

We use two standard payment models:

Milestone-based: Payments are broken into phases—typically start, midpoint, and final completion.
Draw-based: Common for larger or lender-financed jobs, invoiced on a Net 15 draw schedule tied to progress.
