Decks. That is the honest answer to what Remodel or Renew actually does, whatever else the listings say. Across 189 Google ratings averaging 4.7 and 259 on Angi and HomeAdvisor at 4.8, the projects customers write up are overwhelmingly decks, porches and the things that hang off them — a rotting deck demoed and rebuilt in Trex inside two weeks in early March with a foot of snow still in the yard; a triple-decker front porch and side entrance; a wrap-around porch with a patio and fire pit built underneath. Speed is the second theme, and it is specific. A June 2026 customer said the bid was measured and prepared in under an hour complete with 3D renderings, the permit came inside a week, and the whole build finished in under three. A May 2026 client who expected six weeks got it in four. Several people mention crews arriving early and staying late. The names recur, which is unusual at this size: Evan turns up as project manager again and again, alongside Mike, Tom, John, and Shemar on the sales side. Whoever you are assigned tends to stay reachable — an October 2024 basement client listed the framers, insulators, drywallers, electrician, painter and finishers individually and said concerns were handled the same day or the next. Now the parts to weigh, because they are specific and they are about money and scheduling rather than craftsmanship. In May 2025 a customer signed a deck contract, handed over a deposit of roughly $13,000, and was told a week later the job would cost $8,000 more because certain costs had been forgotten. They rescinded, and reported still waiting for the refund cheque at month's end. The company replied that police-detail and crane costs emerged after review with the building department, and that the deposit was fully refunded. In June 2026 another customer rated the job four stars: the deck and stairs were good and sturdy, but he had been told to get a plot plan survey that turned out to be unnecessary after he had spent $1,100 on it, and a small deck took three weeks because materials kept not being on site. His own advice — do not let them start until every material is delivered — is worth borrowing. A January 2026 customer said the installer simply never showed up. Against that, the last six months carry 24 reviews with no negatives, and the BBB has accredited them since February 2021 with an A+ grade. For a deck, a porch or a basement, this is one of the better-documented crews in central Massachusetts. Pin the price down in writing — permits, surveys, site access — and ask them to confirm all materials are on site before day one.
“RORHI did a good job with the execution - the new deck and stairs look good, they're sturdy, and I expect they'll last a long time.”
Our porch needed replacing, and the finished project looks great. Quality workmanship from the crew, and the Project Manager was always quick to respond to my many questions.
From beginning to end the staff were great. Joseph the project manager came to our home to set the front deck up .It was like he was part of our home. Friendly and out going and precise with the detail we wanted. Made changes as we talked about our vision. Once the actual work started the two young men that came got right along with me. I asked questions and the senior man responded with respect and detail of what he was doing. We treated them like family not just workers. They had as much respect with me that I had we them. They worked very hard non stop in two days to get the job done, and it look exactly like our vision. And the craftsmanship was great, paid attention to every detail. When they left for the day they also cleaned up everything and left all out of the way. Mike the owner of the company if you had any questions he had no issues picking right up and listening to your questions and contacting his guys or project manager.All in all I would highly recommend this company .

Chose this company to update 2 older wooden porches. Sam met with me and we chose products and payment plan to meet my needs. Dumpster and product delivery was smooth and efficient. Porch demolitions were fast and cleanup was excellent. Porch reconstruction was efficient and Evan texted me regularly to keep me up to date. A couple of minor glitches, including several days of unbearably hot weather, slowed reconstruction a little. Tim was on site to keep construction moving smoothly. The finished porches are so so beautiful. I am very glad I chose Trex so they'll both last a long time. Final cleanup and dumpster removal was quick and complete. Huge thank you to all the hard working crew members. I have already received compliments from passers by about how great my property looks with these new porches! Happy I chose this company.
I hired Remodel or Renew Home Improvement Inc. to remove my old deck and build a new deck. They were amazing from the very beginning. When they came to bid on the project, they measured and prepared a bid in under an hour, complete with 3D renderings. I hired them on the spot (their bid came in under a second bid I had on the project). They secured a permit in under a week and, once they started, completed the entire project in under 3 weeks. Evan Jacobs was the project manager and did a great job keeping everything on time, from demo to inspections to build. The quality of the work was spectacular. So much better than my previous deck. It looks amazing and looks like it could withstand a hurricane (it is a second level deck with stairs down to the back yard). Overall, I cannot recommend them enough. You will not be disappointed.
I am so pleased with the results of the installation of my new patio slider door. Matt and Jake were very professional and worked diligently and took great care to install it perfectly. I'm looking forward to cooler summers and warmer winters with the installation and snug fit they achieved. And thank you Mike Christopher for making it a pleasure and reliable to do business with Remodel or Renew. Judy Foster
