About this company

Byggmeister Associates, Inc

Byggmeister (Scandinavian for "master builder") was founded in 1983. From the beginning the company has focused on architect-designed residential renovations in and around Boston. We have always placed a high priority on cultivating two things: easy, friendly relations with our clients, and a talented and diverse crew. After years of gradual evolution toward the concept, in 2000 Byggmeister started offering design-build services, and within two years we were both designing and building 90 percent of our projects.

Scope of Work We do a full range of improvement projects, primarily on single-family homes and, occasionally, in condominiums and apartments. Typical jobs include kitchen and bathroom renovations, attic and basement conversions, additions, decks and porches, whole-house renovations, and landscaping. More and more we are called upon to do significant energy upgrades in houses-sophisticated insulation, air-sealing, and lighting upgrades-work which we find particularly important.

What is this?

We display two types of written homeowner feedback on GuildQuality member profile pages: Comments and Reviews.

Comments

In response to our customer satisfaction surveys, homeowners share lots of comments about construction quality, communication, or any other question asked in the survey. Guildmembers can selectively publish these comments here on their profile page.

Reviews

Reviews are different than comments. These are star ratings that homeowners ask us to publish, and they come with a written description of the type of experience they had working with their contractor. We publish all of the reviews we receive: positive and negative alike.

I continue to recommend Byggmeister to all of my friends. Great firm, great people!

We approached Byggmeister with a unique request: Design and build an "awning" across the front of our house (south) to hold a 32' row of solar panels above the first floor windows, and which would give shade to first floor winnows in summer while allowing some solar gain in winter. They succeeded !...

Byggmeister was great to work with. The whole team was incredibly committed, knowledgeable, organized, and great to work with.

We have used Byggmeister on three major projects in our home, one of which involved a major extension of the house.
