Brite Builders Incorporated

Brite Builders has run design-build general contracting jobs out of Somerville since 1996 — additions, whole-room rehabs, and custom millwork for houses and commercial spaces. Its president, Zeb Arruda, holds the state's Construction Supervisor license, and the company also carries a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration. The Better Business Bureau lists the company at an A+ grade, though it has never applied for accreditation there, and BuildZoom scores it 99 out of 100. Beyond that, the review picture is thin and doesn't agree with itself: Google shows five stars but from only three ratings, while Birdeye's six reviews average just 3.0. A separate outside review calls the company 'completely unprofessional' and claims an F grade with the BBB — a claim its actual BBB file doesn't support. With reviews this scattered and contradictory, there isn't enough here yet to call a clear pattern. Before booking, it's worth asking for a few recent references directly and confirming project scope with Zeb Arruda himself, given the distance between the polished self-description on the company's own site and the more mixed word beyond it.
