Smooth

Smooth is a Massachusetts insulation, drywall, and plastering contractor built around Andre Aguiar — his name comes up in nearly every review, whether the crew is running spray foam through an attic or finishing plaster on an addition. The company describes itself as Hudson-based with 15-plus years in the trade, serving Greater Boston and New England from the North Shore to the South Shore. Its Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (No. 203852) is active in the state registry. Google shows 4.9 stars from 64 ratings, with a review history running back to 2021 across half a dozen listing sites rather than a handful of recent five-star reviews. The most recent activity is mixed: on May 26, 2026, a customer described a job that went wrong — after agreeing on corrective steps with the project manager, they came back the next day to find the wallboard already installed and the promised insulation fix skipped, with the owner later explaining he'd decided against the extra work without telling them in advance. Five days earlier, a different customer praised the crew for installing Havelock wool insulation, a specialty product not every insulation contractor carries. One thing worth asking about directly: the Better Business Bureau's file for this address opened in March 2026 and treats the business as under six months old, which sits awkwardly next to the 15-year history the company claims for itself and a separate directory listing the same name and owner at a different address in East Boston. That doesn't necessarily mean the underlying work is new — the multi-year run of Google reviews argues against that — but it's worth asking which entity, address, and history you'd actually be contracting with before signing anything. For insulation, air sealing, drywall, and plaster work — particularly anything calling for a less common material like Havelock wool — Smooth has real specialty experience and a mostly strong track record behind it. Given the one detailed account of agreed corrective work getting dropped mid-project, get the scope and any follow-up fixes spelled out in writing before the crew starts.
