Level & Plumb Construction

Level & Plumb Construction is a Somerville general contractor that says it has been operating since 1993, started by an owner who simply liked working with his hands and building living spaces. The company's own site lists a broad trade mix — kitchen and bathroom remodeling, basement work, additions, siding, roofing, carpentry, painting, flooring and tiling — the profile of a small, established outfit that takes on whatever a house needs rather than specializing narrowly. The public record on them is thin. Google shows a 5-star average, but it rests on only four ratings, not enough to lean on by itself. A local directory once carried a testimonial calling the crew prompt and pleasant across several jobs, and another site showcased a kitchen-and-bath remodel rated a full 5.0. Pulling the other way is an older review, from 2018, accusing the company of being unprofessional, showing up late, and charging well above what others quoted — a serious complaint, even years on. The company has never sought BBB accreditation and carries no BBB rating either way. Before hiring, it is worth asking directly about scheduling reliability and getting a firm, written price up front — the exact points the 2018 complaint raised — and asking for a couple of recent, checkable references given how little independent, dated feedback exists. This reads as a longtime, hands-on remodeling shop that has earned some real praise, but there isn't yet enough recent, corroborated history to call it settled without doing that homework yourself.
