Edwin Valdes Construction, LLC

A flooded basement cleared out and repaired while the owners were away — that December 2023 review is the only detailed account anyone has written about Edwin Valdes Construction, and the customer called the crew meticulous and responsive and said they would hire them again. Edwin Vasquez Valdes runs the company from 199 River St in Waltham. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #207570, is active, verified against the state registry. The company describes itself as small and family-owned, working both residential and commercial, and lists complete remodels, kitchen and bath, flooring, painting, drywall and plastering, siding and Azek, windows and doors, decks and porches, and demolition. Its HomeAdvisor profile adds that Spanish is spoken and shows nine recent projects. The word of mouth is current but thin in a particular way. A Needham neighbor has posted the same short recommendation on Nextdoor three times since April 2026 — the website link, Edwin's direct line, and the words "amazing person, great communication and honest" — once in a thread about kitchen cabinet refinishing, once about floor regrouting, and once in a thread asking for a structural engineer. Read that as one enthusiastic referrer repeating themselves rather than three independent voices. One inconsistency worth raising: the company's own site claims 14+ years of experience, while its HomeAdvisor profile says 22. For a Waltham-area remodel, water-damage repair, or a deck, the registration checks out and the one substantive account is a good one. But a single written review is a thin basis for a decision — ask for two or three recent local references and get the scope and price in writing before work starts.
