Highlights

- Early Google rating — 4.5 stars though from a small pool
- Thin review history — just 8 Google ratings and zero on Houzz
- Possible name mix-up — a different Total Contracting operates in Rutland, MA
Total Contracting is a Newton, MA outfit built to handle two different kinds of calls: a planned kitchen or whole-home remodel, and the disaster-restoration jobs that come after a burst pipe or a fire. Its own site describes room additions, design-build projects, and property-damage reconstruction across Greater Boston and New England, routing fire, water, and mold emergencies through a sister company, DryBoston. The public track record is thin. Google puts it at 4.5 stars, but that's from just 8 ratings, and its Houzz profile — which otherwise matches the same service description — currently has no reviews at all. One thing worth double-checking before calling: a similarly named "Total Contracting" shows up in Massachusetts listings at a different address, in Rutland, and appears to be a separate company, not this one. Make sure you're reaching the Newton, MA location before booking. Its Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license is active. That's solid footing, but with so few independent reviews on record, ask for a couple of recent local references directly rather than leaning on the star rating alone.

When my sewer lateral broke and caused major damage to my basement, I needed a construction company that could handle the job thoroughly and professionally. Rick, Jake and the team at Total Contracting delivered on every front. From day one, the entire team was organized, efficient, and incredibly easy to work with. Their transparency throughout the project gave me complete peace of mind, and their communication was top-notch—especially Jake, who was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and walk me through each phase of the reconstruction. I never felt out of the loop, and that level of attentiveness made all the difference. The work itself was excellent. The crew showed up on time, worked hard, and treated my home with care and respect. They didn’t just repair the damage—they transformed the basement into a space that’s even better than before. Every detail was handled with skill and pride. I highly recommend Total Contracting to anyone looking for reliable, skilled contractors who value honesty, clear communication, and quality work. They turned a tough situation into a truly positive experience.

Kory and the team are extremely professional, responsive, attentive to detail and very thorough with their work. Very happy with the outcome of the repairs in our house, we look forward to working with Total Contracting again in future projects.
