I recommend DiPierro after being involved with them in a brownstone renovation project in the South End. The style and quality of the work was excellent. Every construction project has its problems but we were always able to work them out satisfactorily for all concerned. I have to disagree strongly with any personal characterizations that question the truthfulness or ethics of DiPierro Construction. They have always stood behind the work they did for me, and, in one instance responded to an equipment malfunction in the middle of the night. Recently, I requested their services for a small home maintenance project and they were able to send someone to make the repair the same day. read more

We had Depierro construction on project this past year to rebuild and solidify a four family, older home. The leader Anthony Di Piero and his team do a great job. Always on time, consistent and quality driven. This company works hard and doesn't try to take advantage of you. Very reasonable pricing. Good results from good people. I would recommend to anyone. read more

See all

Their customer service is refreshing. I received their business card in the mail when I moved into my condo and noticed my radiator dial was broken. I called other repair companies and they had fee after fee. I remembered I had DiPierros business card and gave them a call. Ariel the receptionist had me send a video of the dial and as soon as she showed her manager she said that it was such a simple fix they'd come and fix it for free. I was in such shock, it felt like such a random of act of kindness I was so appreciative! Good ethical companies are hard to come by. I know who I'm calling when I need any projects done. Thank you Gerry and Ariel! read more

We used Gerry to do major renovations on a multi unit south end apartment building including adding 2 balconies in back. Gerry gave us a very competitive price and dealt with all the headaches with Historical. He gave us fair pricing to remediate the discovered issues during the renovation. His work was done in the promised timeframe with excellent quality. Since then we have used his company as the emergency contact for our tenants. Last November we had an emergency waste pipe issue in the basement. Gerry got his folks right on it and they were able to get things working again the next day, and then came back later to do a proper long term fix. We have found everyone at DiPierro to be most helpful and recommend them heartily! read more

After reading mixed reviews, I was cautious in hiring DiPierro but the quality of their work, dependability, and personal attention from the owner himself was all excellent. The projects I had them work on were not straightforward and took a lot of creative thinking (typical South End house issues) and Gerry was super resourceful and his team executed perfectly. I would definitely hire again. read more

Gerry is a genius when it comes to space and aesthetics. Being in the business for 34+ years, he's seen it all. He's polite and patient with reno newbies and his estimates are fair and comprehensive. I highly recommend contacting him for your next reno project. read more

We have used Gerry & his team on several projects now, including most recently on a renovation of our home in the South End. Gerry is very competitively priced compared to other contractors that work in Boston and he is all willing to go the extra mile to get the job done right. Gerry manages each project and is responsive pretty much any time over email/text. The guys who work with him are very talented. I would absolutely recommend DiPierro to anyone looking for a good contractor. read more

Extremely poor communication. I've worked with many contractors in the past and this was unpleasant. The entire team followed the lead of their supervisor whose behavior was questionable. read more

Almost a month after walking through our place, we never have received our quote, despite multiple emails with their office coordinator. Very frustrating and disappointing given the trouble it took to organize the appointment and the fact that now it seems a stranger has my address but never rendered any services. read more

Recently had my bathroom remodeled & the workers were very professional when I came in asking a million questions, they did an amazing job & they left my bathroom spotless! I definitely recommend them if you're looking to do any remodeling in your home! Tell them Edgar the bathroom guy on Newbury St sent you! read more

We recently completed a semi-large scale renovation and had a very good experience with DiPierro. Our project had a long list of specific needs (including intricate tile work and extensive plumbing) and Gerry and his team were able to address them all with great attention to detail. The entire team is very professional, thorough and responsive. In particular, our project manager Robert was very responsive and truly seemed to care about our project being completed in a timely fashion without ever sacrificing time for quality. If doing a residential renovation project, I couldn't recommend a better contractor than DiPierro Construction. read more

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. DiPierro's estimates come in considerably higher than other reputable contractors. The quality of work is shoddy and the workmen seem to have very limited respect for their clients or their clients' homes. On a "friend-of-DiPierro's" recommendation, we hired this company to do some work on one of our rental properties in Boston. Several unwanted events occurred while DiPierro was doing the work. In the end, we halted DiPierro's involvement after 2 days of work and hired another contractor to finish the work. (The job should have been done in 2 days - it was clear that DiPierro's men were on track to stretch the job for 4 or 5 days. After 2 days we had had enough of their shenanigans.) The contractor we brought in cleaned up, repaired the shoddy work and was out of there in a day! Here's what happened with DiPierro: The work took a couple of days. At the end of day one, our tenants returned home to find the work area a mess. Furniture had not been protected. Dust and bits of plaster had not been cleaned up. DiPierro's men used our tenant's bathroom and left the toilet a mess. Workmen from another site, unrelated to the work being done in our unit, were invited into the unit by DiPierro's workmen so they could clean their brushes in the kitchen sink. The sink was filthy, a fine coat of paint covered the stainless steel sink to greet our tenants when they returned home. My call to complain to DiPierro was met with derision and outright rudeness. He called me and my tenant liars. He said his men would never do such things. He accused my tenant of making it all up, of trying to get money from me/ from DiPierro ("because that is what tenants do!"). I was furious. I told him I did not want the same crew in the unit again. He called me the next morning to say that he asked his men about the allegations. They never owed up to the fact that they used the toilet (DiPierro "forbids" his men from using client's bathrooms - not sure what his men are supposed to do) and did not flush or clean the area. DiPierro informed me that his men admitted to inviting in the other workmen to use the kitchen. For that, DiPierro said he would dock his men a week's pay. DiPierro was not contrite, never apologized for the behavior of his men, nor for his behavior; and, even though he docked his workmen, he did not offer us any rebate. I fired him on the spot and told him to drop off our keys immediately. All in all - dealing with these shysters was a most unsatisfying and frustrating experience. read more

We wholeheartedly recommend Gerry DiPierro's firm. They just replaced our roof deck using a Brazilian oak material and did so perfectly. Everything was explained, timing was managed well and the work result is as expected. This was his second project for us. The first was a new interior stairway to the deck. Gorgeous glass and woodwork. This effort is captured in three pictures on his web site's portfolio section. Gerry's team are experts and care about details. Just a comment about some of the reviews on Yelp. Our first project with Gerry occurred during the time these were written. The stairway was not easy and Gerry took personal interest in making sure it turned out well. You can trust Gerry and his firm. read more

Unfortunately, I cannot say that I had a positive experience with DiPierro Construction. I had engaged Dipierro for a 6 figure residential project encompassing a kitchen and bath. I had been given as estimated time of three months, it eventually took seven, I have spent a large amount of money fixing numerous issues that DiPierro refused to address and fix mistakes he made. The costly corrections came on top of a bill from DiPierro that was 20% above his original estimate. He work was not up to the standard that had been presented to me, nor was the level of service commensurate with his prices. I was thoroughly disappointed and deeply regret hiring DiPierro, perhaps corporate clients are treated differently from residential, but I would encourage anyone considering DiPierro to explore other options. read more

Project Manager, Luigi Algieri, was fantastic. My husband and I recently had work done on our home in the South End and Luigi and team did fantastic work (floors, paintings, remodel/removal of built-ins and changing of doors/handles, hardwork). Luigi was incredibly responsive via text, sent updates regularly, and his/his team's workmanship was excellent. He was attentive to our needs and even made suggestions to improve in a cost-conscious fashion. We also wanted the work done quickly and in a short amount of time, which Luigi and team were also able to accommodate. We definitely recommend them if you are in need of any work on your home - large or small. Thank you again to Luigi and team! read more

Gerry DiPierro & Project Manager Luigi were awesome! The remodel of our North End condo unit was flawless! They did what they said they would do at every step of the project. The workmanship was excellent and working with Luigi was very easy. He was attentive to our suggestions and needs. I would not hesitate to use them again for another job! read more

I work for a National General Contractor that specializes in High End Retail clientele. We recently had a location in the Boston area and needed some assistance with some repair work and contacted DiPierro Construction. They have been awesome! Customer Service is excellent, workmanship awesome, just a great company (people) to work with. We are thankful to have established this relationship and will definitely use them for future. read more

I could just copy and paste the comments from James and Jodi. They are exactly right. I would seriously consider these reviews before hiring DiPierro. - DiPierro will be significantly over the original estimate. In our case, 15%. - He will take longer than promised. In our case, it was nearly double the time. - His office doesn't know what is going on with the project. Every invoice we received along the way was incorrect. They constantly tried to charge for work not yet completed so we always had to go back and forth correcting things. (Part of this is probably caused by the high job turnover at DiPierro. During the 10 week project, 2 project managers, 2 accountants, and a carpenter left. I think that says something.) - If you have any questions, you will need to contact them many times before getting an answer - He will never admit a mistake and try to correct it. Everything was always someone else's fault, was "unforeseen", or you don't know what you're talking about. He has a story for everything. - Poor attention to details. Dealing with DiPierro has been one of the most frustrating customer experiences that we have ever had. There is no doubt that all projects have issues and unforeseen things. And overages are expected. The big thing is how these problems are handled. DiPierro will just say it's your problem and will never admit that they did something wrong. Every cost will be passed on to you. Gerry has the philosophy that all that matters is the final product. So if he gets it done, then the customer should be happy. If it takes more money or time, then that doesn't matter. If you agree with that, then you will be ok using them. Just add at least 10% to estimate, double the time, and be prepared to have to ask many times if you have any questions. read more

I've used DiPierro for so many complicated jobs and every time they reach my expectations. I wouldn't use anyone else.

Just a quick review Thanking Di Pierro team for helping us out on thanksgiving day. They were here at 8 am fixed disposal issue and I was ready for family at 2pm. Thank you read more

Gerry did work for me last year in renovating my condo. Since then I had add a couple of items (change of locks, medicine cabinet in the bathroom) and have asked him for his help. He is always quick to respond and gets the job done. Would recommend him for renovations in back bay and south end. read more

Gerry DiPierro over promises and under delivers - he will give you a low ball estimate to get your business and then make all of his "gravy" on change in work orders and upcharges. His office is unresponsive and his crew often does not know what they are supposed to be doing because of Gerry and Nick's lack of communication. It's too bad - we really believe in supporting local business, but what was supposed to be a straight forward 5 month renovation has turned into more than a year of non-stop headaches and problems. Definitely not worth the hassle, time away from work and family, endless frustrations and compromises. read more

Bought a condo that needed renovations. Took time off of work to have a DiPierro rep look at the place to give an estimate. Delayed renovation to learn their estimate for comparison purposes but then NEVER heard from them again. This despite calling and being told several times that the estimate would be provided in a "day or two." Very untrustworthy and unprofessional. read more

Hiring Dipierro was one of the worst decisions I've made in the last 2 years. I regret hiring them on a daily basis and continue to be angered at how poor the quality of work is, because it is so readily apparent. They came in over budget, way behind schedule, and the work is terrible. Our complaints were never really acknowledged during the project, and in hindsight we should have fired them at the very beginning when things went off the rails. Under no circumstance would I even engage DiPierro for a quote, let alone let them touch your home. read more

Stay away from Dipierro - they did a terrible job and were completely unrepsonsive when contacted about the job they did. There are better, less expensive contractors out there. They show well but don't deliver - DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON DIPIERRO. read more

Worst experience ever. Very poor workmanship, awful project management. They should not be licensed. I would not recommend anyone use Gerry DiPierro. He does not tell the truth and over bills as well. Also- I hired a very good architect but DiPierro was not capable of reading even the simplest of drawings. read more

They seem very nice, but cancel at the very last minute, such as at the time you are meeting.

DiPierro husband & wife Gerry & MaryBeth are the shadiest, and most untruthful greedy, illegal, falsely promising couple of non professional so called construction team I have ever had the unfortunate experience of hiring. Starting with far fetched promises and time frames to quotes that were not upheld a project that was quoted at 25k per Nick ended up costing an additional 7500 due to their mistakes etc and us having to outsource proper contractors to finish the job & correct mistakes made by DiPierros unqualified laborers. I wouldn't recommend this company to my worse enemy the entire relationship with them has been a complete nightmare from the moment I signed the 1 St check. This is a take the money and run type of company. Shame on you DiPierro read more

Dipierro is terrible. They failed on all counts. Terrible quality of work, no communication with client or workers, poor service (when I would call it takes them days to return the call if at all) and worst of all they created additional damage to my home and took weeks to repair it (badly at that). read more

We have been homeowners for over 25 years, and have done numerous renovations and repairs to our homes. This is the first time I have found it necessary to write a negative review for any company we have worked with. We contracted with DiPierro to replace an outdated shower stall. We made what we thought was a fairly simple request for the renovation. We received an estimate for the work that seemed fair. After that, we faced numerous delays and cost overruns that should have been anticipated by any experienced company before the estimate was written up. In addition, we asked up front and agreed to contract multiple specific (and straightforward) features including a shower seat, an overhead rain shower from the ceiling, and shelves in the shower itself. We received none of these, and never got a good answer as to why these features could not be accommodated. Despite not coming through with many requests made at the time of the estimate, the costs of our small project increased by almost 40% over the initial estimate. Given that we had clearly specified what we needed (including many of the things we never got), the company should have been able to generate an estimate that was pretty close to the target cost without huge overruns. The work itself was adequate but not exceptional: we requested a specific tile but many of the pieces did not match exactly in color. Despite that, the company purchased too much material and we had many leftover (unused)cartons of tile and trim. We paid for the excess (including the company's markup) but the company should have been able to measure for the need without so much waste, and could have avoided unnecessary cost to us. Perhaps most difficult was the fact that the company did not communicate clearly to us, and we spent a lot of time chasing them down to ask what was happening. They generated a lot of paperwork but did not have the ability (or interest) to sit down with us to explain why a request could not be accommodated, why the large cost overruns occurred, and in general were not able to address our growing concerns about the project in a timely manner. Suffice it to say we will look elsewhere for any future work in our home. read more

This company does fantastic work. Extremely professional and reliable. Highly recommend.

These guys are the real deal. They helped me out with a kitchen renovation project in my new apt. They produced quality results at a fair price and where very neat and clean about the work-space. I have already recommended them so some friends who need renovation work. read more

I was beyond pleased with the work DiPierro Construction did on my house! They were very helpful during the whole process and made the job a lot easier for myself and my family. They were always on point with everything they did and they finished the job perfectly. I couldn't be happier with them and I will definitely be going to DiPierro Construction in the future. read more

I give it 2 stars just because Gerry was highly impressive during his visit to review the project and provide ideas. That "sales pitch type" experience is worth 2 stars. Unfortunately the rest of the experience is non-existent. After promising to provide an estimate for work in about a week and telling me that they can start on the project right away, the estimate never came. I called a couple of times to remind them of it, but was simply told 'Gerry is too busy, he will be on it shortly". Eventually I simply gave up. read more
