Codogno Construction

Twenty-four homeowners have written about Codogno Construction on Google, and none of them complain. A 4.9 average across 27 ratings is the headline; the more useful detail is that the owner's first name, William, is in almost every one of those sentences. This is a Malden general contractor whose Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #198811, is active — the state registry names Codogno's Construction Corp as the holder of record. BuildZoom lists the same registration and names Willian Codogno as the owner, with one Malden deck-footing permit on its profile and no reviews of its own. The jobs customers describe cluster around carpentry and the structural repairs that surround it. A homeowner writing in December 2025 had crown molding put into a powder room and described the sequence: William came out to look at the space, made recommendations, quoted it, then did the work. In October 2024 someone with a sinking front porch got a diagnosis, several options, and a repair that came in under budget. A February 2024 customer had a first-floor deck built from drawings and noted the crew read the design before starting. A landlord writing in January 2024 said the company had renovated multiple apartment units for him, each delivered on time and on budget. Beyond that: a kitchen renovation in January 2025, basement and garage cabinetry with fixture updates in November 2024, siding repairs finished before winter in January 2024, a porch addition onto an 1895 two-family in Cambridgeport in November 2024. Small jobs get the same treatment as big ones — one of those Cambridgeport-era reviewers also had a TV mounted. Communication is the trait people name most often, usually in the form of William explaining what went wrong and what the options are. Two things are worth knowing before you call. The written history runs January 2024 through December 2025, so the newest account is over half a year old — ask for a recent reference. And the timing of those accounts is lopsided: ten of the twenty-four went up within five days of each other in mid-January 2025, which is a burst rather than a steady accumulation, and it makes the star average look steadier than the underlying history is. The fit here is the homeowner with a carpentry-shaped problem — a porch that's dropping, a deck, molding, cabinetry, a room that needs one competent crew rather than four trades. Confirm the registration number against the state's Consumer Affairs lookup, and ask to see a job from the last few months.
