Ruy Barbosa is high off the charts in professionalism. He was responsive to our questions, and intuitive about our interests. He communicated with us throughout the project of installing a new Timberteck deck. His crew worked straight on through from start to finish without empty lapses of time. The men are so highly skilled. We continue to be happy with our beautiful deck. Therefore, we asked Ruy to install a Timberteck stair rail at our front doors, which also has withstood the test of time. We'd been concerned that installments like this would compromise the brick, whereby requiring a total rebuild, but a rebuild wasn't necessary. He also advise us on an easy and effective fix to divert water from flowing from the gutter and freezing to ice on those brick steps in winter. Based on the outcome of these projects, and our experience in their progression, we highly recommend this company. read more

Brutal experience with them back in 2022-2024. Would take weeks and, more than once, even months to get them to come back and do any work (see screenshots of my text interactions with them -- note the dates). They were supposed to build a new rubber roof. It started leaking on 3 separate occasions (which btw was never fully fixed -- we moved on to different contractors who did address the issues). And like I said, it would take months for them to actually come back and attempt to fix anything. Often they'd come by, look at the damage, then I wouldn't hear from them for multiple weeks. Meanwhile, more damage continues to accrue to the walls and ceilings. The internal fixes they applied for the water damage were just patch jobs. They just plastered and painted over. Meanwhile, the insulation behind the wall was soaked and accrued black mold that we had to address later. Also worth pointing out a major blunder at the beginning of the project (see attached videos and pics). They opened up the roof, and left it open for multiple days without doing any work. Well of course a major rainstorm came by (which was on the weather forecast well in advance). Alll that water poured into the house in the middle of the night setting off fire alarms. It was a nightmare to deal with on my end. read more

Boston Framers did an excellent job building our custom walkway and resurfacing our existing deck with high quality ipe (which they sourced). Their carpenter Altamir did a particularly awesome job building a high quality, great looking deck based on our specifications. The support staff did a good job communicating, sourcing what we requested, and getting waste removed in a timely manner during the project. The owner, Ruy, was reponsive, collaborative, and fair - truly a pleasure to work with his whole team. They were well priced compared to the four quotes we got, and we feel we good good value for that money. Thank you Boston Framers! read more

After going thru the process of securing quotes and vetting contractors late last winter, we grew frustrated in some of the pressure techniques and extremely inflated quotes we were getting for a kitchen model. Fortunately, we came across Boston Framers earlier this year and received a very thorough and fair quote. Happy to say we accepted and the work was completed within the timeframe promised (approx 4-5 weeks) We have nothing but positive things to say about Rui and his team. From kitchen measurements/cabinet selection to the demo guys, electrician, floor tilers, painters, countertop installation team, cleanup crew, etc. 10 out of 10 across the board. Without getting into great detail, the hiccups were few and far between, and when a small issue came up, Rui was extremely responsive. We were genuinely appreciative of the flexibility on some add-ons we requested along the way and Rui not giving us a "let me run the numbers again" reply, he always held to his price, and that is not something we've ever experienced with other contractors. In the end, the finished product was more than we could have ever dreamed of, and, given our difficulty at the outset finding a contractor we felt we could rely on and trust, my wife and I feel very fortunate to have contracted with Rui and his team. I highly recommend, without hesitation, Boston Framers. read more

Terrific job done by Boston Framers! We had contacted seven other contractors before getting such a positive response from Boston Framers. Our initial inquiry was sent on a Saturday, but the owner, Ruy Barbosa, replied within an hour. He met us the following workday to go over our needs and discussed various options. He projected confidence at being able to renovate our deck yet maintain its overall look. He was willing to work with us and the city's historic commission to preserve some key features of the deck. During the course of the work, Ruy and his staff were responsive to questions or changes that we requested. Communication with them was great. They were eager to please us and found ways to make the project stay on-time and within budget, even when curve balls were thrown at them. Overall, they renovated our dilapidated deck boards with composite flooring. They removed heavy railings and pillars, completely overhauled the structural supports, installed the composite flooring and finally replaced the railings & pillars. Additionally, we had them pressure wash and paint the deck. The cost associated with the structural supports and flooring was very much in line with what we believed was reasonable. We liked their work so much that they have also redone our rear porch & steps. Currently we are waiting on estimates for three more home projects. Before and after photos attached read more

Henrique and his team did a great job reframing and refinishing the sunroom on my newly purchased house. The walls and floors had bad rotting and damage due to the previous owners' neglect. Henrique and his fixed the damage, made the room much more weatherproof, and made the inside far far nicer than it was before. Henrique also had great suggestions on how to improve, rather than just repair. My wife and I are extremely happy with how everything turned out. read more

I had an overall great experience with Ruy and his team. I had reached out to Ruy to have my deck remodeled. Communication was never more than an email away and they were very responsive with my concerns. The job was very well done and I am very happy with the results. Shoutout to Alessandro. If I have to make one critique, it would only be one. On the last day of work, there was a painter who came to paint my columns. Instead of wiping his hands on a paper towel, he wiped it on my concrete retaining wall on two different spots. That wall was something I had recently freshly painted myself too. It was a minor annoyance since it will only take me a few minutes to fix since I already had the paint for it. But still, I didn't understand why you can't wipe it on a towel or grass or something. Regardless, it doesn't change the fact that the job overall on the deck was still five stars. Edit: Ruy's team reached out to see if he could help fix the paint issue and come repaint it. I highly appreciate this and this is another testament to their quality of commitment. read more

We decided to hire Boston Framers to make our attic into livable space based on their reviews, licensed/insured & reasonable quote. We had great communication with Ruy Barbosa. He was professional and responsive. He and his team transformed our unlivable attic into a beautiful space. We are very pleased with the results and highly recommend Boston Framers. We will definitely hire them again for any future projects. Thanks Ruy! read more

I've never heard of a contractor who completes a job on budget and earlier than projected, but Ruy and his team at Boston Framers did just that. They built the house we just bought and we hired them to finish the basement - laying flooring and installing hvac. His team was considerate, responsive, and did great work. And it was done more than a week faster than first estimated. Highly recommend! read more

Ruy and his crew are fantastic. He was so responsive, that I waited a year to get back to him and he still got back to me right away. We had a 40 year old sad, terrible, wood deck, that was sinking at one end, replaced with composite. It's beautiful now. The work was impeccable. He did exactly what I wanted, and was checking in along the way to make sure everything was how I wanted it. The project was done quickly, one day the crew showed up once a rainstorm stopped. I would never have expected them to work on a rainy day, but they were on it! All of his workers are friendly and polite. Ruy and the guys did some troubleshooting and fixed up an issue we had with our clothesline pole, because they are awesome. I got four quotes for this deck and Boston Framers was the best price and gave us what we wanted. One company told me it would take three months to do the project and they couldn't start for months. Ruy started when he said he would, and finished when he said he would. I recommend Boston Framers wholeheartedly! read more

Stellar contractor in every way - Ruy and his team are professionals and do extremely high quality work for a very fair price. Will definitely be using him again in the future. My deck was rotting and all of the decking and railings needed to be replaced. I had been putting off this project because it was so expensive but with the birth of my daughter and the need to repair a hole in my basement ceiling, I decided to get some quotes. Ruy and his team put in a very fair price that was far lower than the price gouging of other contractors, and he uses TimberTech which is a better (and more expensive) material than most other people were using. I definitely had some skepticism that they could meet the budget without cutting corners but my due diligence regarding license, insurance and even watched his YouTube videos and it all seemed very impressive. Once I made the decision to start going, at 8 PM one night, Ruy and his team were onsite the next day working hard from dawn until dusk for the next week. He kept in constant contact and worked even around my unpredictable work schedule. There were even some difficulties that they encountered with the shoddy way the deck was originally constructed but they were able to get it solved. The final product is very beautiful and came in on budget and ahead of schedule. I also had them come to fix my basement ceiling which I opened a large hole into to get some plumbing done. I thought this was a small job but the team spent almost as long as they did for the deck to sand, resand, coat, etc. It was like watching Michelangelo carving the Pieta, such precision work and you cannot even tell that there was any defect. Other contractors said they wouldn't be able to match the same paint, or that it would look a little off - but turns out I didn't have to settle. High quality craftsmanship, great value, excellent communication - exceeded my expectations. My only complaint is that I didn't get these renovations done sooner so I could have enjoyed over the summer. I will definitely be using them again and I hope you consider them for your next project. read more

As the 5 Star rating indicates, we had a great experience with Ruy and the Boston Framers team. We moved into our home in October of 2021 and knew that at some point in the near future the old 20 X 15 wooden deck had to be rebuilt. We knew we wanted a low maintenance deck and preferred Timbertech Azek products over Trex. We communicated with the Timbertech sales team for samples and for a recommended contractor. Boston Framers was one of the 3 recommended contractors. We received 3 quotes and felt most comfortable going forward with Ruy and Boston Framers based on our interactions, his timely responses, knowledge, experience with Timbertech and the many 5 Star reviews. Work began sooner than we expected and the project was completed on time and per the quoted price. No surprises, no disappointments. The quality of their work is excellent. He has built a team that is attentive to every detail, communicates immediately when decisions must be made and provide recommendations on what will look best. In addition to the quality of work we were pleasantly surprised by the respect they all showed us the customer. Ruy was always on time and communicates via text at lightning speed. His team is polite and works hard even when the August temperatures hit 100. The team cleaned every dirt mark and finger print on the new construction and removed all the old debris before they considered the job complete. We look forward to contacting Ruy and Boston Framers for the future projects that we are considering. read more

Ruy and his crew did it again! After doing a fantastic job on our porch renovation, I stepped away to admire the completion only to discover our attic windows in dire need of replacement. Ruy immediately had one of his contractors take measurements and order new windows. Within a few days his team was back on the job. They worked quickly and carefully and in no time our new windows were installed at a very reasonable cost. It's so gratifying to see the change this improvement has made. These gentlemen are extremely professional, courteous and dedicated in the work they do. As a homeowner, it's a sheer pleasure to hire a contractor who is truly reliable and gives you the confidence in knowing the end result will meet your expectations. Ruy, again we thank you! read more

We asked Boston Framers to rebuild our old wooden deck with composite decking and they did a fantastic job.

We used Boston Framers to replace the railings on our roof deck. They we fast and efficient, getting it done in two days.

Where to start...this past February when we had our sub zero temperatures-30 to be exact our rental property in Framingham (along with many other people)had 8 burst pipes and did significant damage to two of the apartments. You could only imagine the stresses that were brought on in this situation. long story short we made many phone calls to no avail due to high demand. My wife finally found Ruy with Boston Framers. And thank god we did. He understood our situation and the situation our tenants were in and he got his team on it ASAP they rapidly had it completed in two weeks! "great job team". Ruy also went above and beyond starting and completing the project without payment due to the waiting on the insurance payment. Thanks for everything Ruy and the Boston Framers team. Highly recommend! read more

We have worked with a handful of contractors over the past 15+ years and all I can say is I wish I met Ruy and his team earlier! We were planning to remove the wall between our kitchen and dining room and after being ghosted by two other contractors I found Boston Framers. Ruy responded and quoted the project within days. During the project his team was clean, kind and fast. I would call them again for the next project and I have already referred them to a few friends. read more

We chose Boston Framers to renovate our deck and refinish our front porches after meeting and receiving estimates from eight local contractors. Ruy was knowledgeable and provided a fair price for the projects. The workmanship was excellent, the crew very professional and courteous and the projects were completed in a relatively short timeframe. Ruy was patient with my multiple questions, and kept us informed of progress throughout the process. We are very happy with the new PVC deck and the porches look spectacular. We would not hesitate to hire Boston Framers for future jobs. read more

Ruy was very responsive to our inquiries regarding replacing our old, dilapidated deck with a new, expanded deck and enclosed porch. He knew the TimberTech offerings quite well, and came up with multiple quotes using different product lines after examining our current setup - all very reasonable. We eventually had to shift our priorities, so the new deck is on hold for now. In the meantime, I would highly recommend Ruy Barbosa and Boston Framers if you're considering any upgrades to your home. read more

Ruy and his team were fantastic to work with for our Timbertech deck and screen porch remodel. His team was able to fit our project in on short notice, and complete it on time with the timeline laid out, and budget we planned for. He was exceptionally responsive, and was very mindful of the quality of the job, and our satisfaction with the end result. We've used other companies for large home remodels, with less than stellar experiences. After this experience, we wouldn't hesitate to hire Boston Framers again, for any remodel project. read more

I had to replace a failing deck and wanted to do it right. I had many ideas to improve upon the prior one and am particular about workmanship. Ruy and his crew were nothing short of amazing. They were extremely accommodating when it came to the finer details and delivered a top quality product. They went above and beyond addressing things that came up along the way and I couldn't be more satisfied with the project result. I will absolutely be using Boston Framers again for any future projects that they are willing to take on. read more

Boston framers did a great job with my stone patio. They provided a very reasonable estimate and the quality of the work looks great.

Ruy and his crew did a fantastic job replacing our front porch. Ruy responded almost immediately to my request for a quote, quickly sent over a very fairly priced estimate, and started the work the next week. They worked through the cold and the rain to finish the job. It turns out that I didn't communicate very clearly what I wanted the fascia to look like, but Ruy was very responsive and they were back the next week to fix it. I'm very happy with how the porch turned out! Ruy is so easy to work with and I highly recommend Boston Framers - you won't regret hiring them! read more

Ruy and his crew did an awesome job renovating our basement! They were able to handle every aspect so I didn't have to deal with a bunch of different contractors. We had them tear up carpet, level the cement floor, and lay a new vinyl plank floor. They refinished the stairs and added new railings. Their electrician installed new lighting, heating, and a built in dehumidifier. We love how it turned out and his crew were very friendly, respectful, and incredibly diligent. Highly recommend! read more

Very pleased with Ruy and Boston Framers. We've been on a 1-1/2 year long adventure through frustration with our happy little home (finding a leak lead to finding mold, which lead to identification of exterior drainage issues, which highlighted foundation issues...). Along this delightful journey, it was also determined that a beam in our basement was now partially rotted and required shoring up. Enter Boston Framers. Not only did Ruy speak with me, he actually answered the phone when I called! (Kids, let me tell you... if dating life had in any way resembled to experience of finding a contractor, mason, landscaper, etc. who will a) return my call, b) show up for the estimate, and c) arrive with the supplies and tools necessary to complete the work as promised... well, let's just say my husband would be a single man today.) Ruy, however, was terrific. As mentioned, he answered the phone and spoke our issue through with me. He gave what we felt was a reasonable estimate, and scheduled the job within days. It both started and was completed on time, and he also took a moment to explain the job's 5-year warranty to me.He further explained that all work of this type in MA has a five year warranty by law. None of the other folks who've been performing pricy work on our home had mentioned that, so Ruy has potentially saved us from ignorantly shelling out more money in the future, should any of the other work we've had done not stand the test of time. I highly recommend Ruy and Boston Framers. We'll certainly use them again. read more

In today's world, it's rare to get world class communications from a contractor but Ruy at Boston Framers was always available. We recently had his company remove an old, unpermitted deck (young home owner mistake!) and install a new composite deck. He was very helpful in overcoming the town permitting issue and handled it in 100% professional way. Even after his crew completed a beautiful job and got paid, he helped arrange a stone worker to lay a slab that was outside the scope of work & charged a minimal fee for the add on work. Work ethic and service are still alive at Boston Framers. read more
