W. Faia General Contractor works out of 37 Buena Vista St in Swampscott, doing masonry, water and sewer connections, drainage, and general contracting. The company says it has served the Boston area since 1974, specializing in masonry and renovations, with 52 years of experience behind it. The handful of reviews that exist point the same direction: reliable, polite, quick to respond, and reasonably priced. One describes the crew as an A+ team of young workmen who show up professional and meticulous. On Google it holds a 5-star average, though that rests on only six ratings, so there isn't much of an independent track record to lean on yet. Directory listings turn up the same Swampscott address under several different names — William Faia & Sons Inc, FAIA WM & Sons, W.J. Faia General Contractor — pointing to a long-running family operation that has gone by more than one name over the decades rather than a single, consistently branded business. A BBB A+ rating shows up only through a third-party mirror site rather than a direct BBB listing, and the company's own claim of being fully licensed hasn't been checked against a state registry here. For masonry, site drainage, and general contracting work around Swampscott, the early word is positive, but with so few independent reviews it's worth asking for recent local references and confirming license status directly before signing on.

William and Robert did a fantastic job on our wall demo. William communicated clearly throughout the entire process with no surprises and I was extremely happy with the result. They started the job on a date we agreed on and were always on time. I would definitely use them again in the future and would recommend them to anyone looking to get work done by trustworthy individuals!!

W. Faia contractors did our full kitchen remodel and it is fabulous. The entire layout was transformed, including the removal of the old island, the installation of new appliances, cabinets, vents, and much more. Every detail was handled flawlessly and the project was completed ahead of schedule! They even set up a temporary kitchen for us during the remodel conplete with the dishwasher and all the necessary appliances. I love my kitchen and the new layout. Everything works perfectly. I highly recommend their services. All in all, a winner!

Billy and Robert dug out and created a foundation underneath an area of the house that didn't have one, which was allowing animals to get in. They were quick to communicate, reliable, fairly priced, did great work, and really cleaned up after finishing the job. I have so much more peace of mind now knowing the issue was well taken care of and that it didn't break the bank. Thank you guys!
