B&D Building and Remodeling

B&D Building and Remodeling says it's been working in Somerville since 1979 and is still family-owned close to five decades later. It's a general contractor built around kitchen and bathroom remodeling, additions, exterior renovation, and commercial construction, with a stated service area covering Somerville and Arlington. Its Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license is active, and it carries an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, where it's been an accredited business since 2013. It's also listed as a member of the Somerville Chamber of Commerce and cites an affiliation with the National Association of Remodelers. The written reviews it has drawn are uniformly positive, with people pointing to responsiveness, staying within budget, and steady communication through a project. Google shows a 4.2-star average across five total ratings, but only two written reviews are visible and both are five stars — meaning some of those other ratings likely run lower than what shows up in the text here. Given how few written reviews are public for a company with this much tenure, it's worth asking directly for a couple of recent project references on a job close to the scope you're planning, and getting the price and schedule in writing before signing anything. For a kitchen, bath, or addition project in the Somerville/Arlington area, B&D is a licensed, long-running local option — just do your own reference check first, since the public review trail here is thin.
