Stella Construction & Home Services

We had a leaking roof that we tried to repair twice but the leak kept. Coming back. Called up Stella, explained the issue. Steve came by the next day in the pouring rain, got up on the roof and and examined everything. We contracted to replace 6 skylights and redo half of our roof. End result was that his crew did the job in one day (remarkable!) with proper ice shields and edges, and…. No more raining in the house !! Work crew was respectful and worked their tails off and… they completely cleaned up when done. A+ job on the roof

Of course, I had to get the ceiling in the living room fixed too because of the leak in the roof. Erik’s crew came in and inspected the insulation, replaced the Sheetrock, spackled and painted half the ceiling. Done in a day and a half. Looks great. Team was very professional and covered everything- even papered the areas on which they walked from the front door to the work area. First class operation and excellent workmanship. Another A+.

I especially like that they are locally owned and you talk to the owners, not some operator in another state. Highly recommended.

I was recommended to Stella Construction and Home Services by a friend and I am happy to say I was not disappointed. I originally hired them to rebuild the stairs off my deck and expand the deck itself. During the course of the project, they identified additional issues, including a leaking rubber roof under the deck.

Stella handled everything with professionalism and efficiency. They took care of all the necessary permits and made sure every aspect of the job was completed to a high standard. The rubber roof was completely redone, and the deck rebuild exceeded my expectations—it's better than I could have imagined.

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with their work and would highly recommend Stella Construction and Home Services to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship and reliable service.

I recently hired Stella Construction and Home Services to remodel my two-family home in Somerville, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and the final result. From start to finish, their team was professional, communicative, and truly exceptional in every way.

The project involved a significant renovation of the upstairs (larger) unit while my family lived in the downstairs unit. Once we moved upstairs, they also made modifications to prepare the lower unit for rental. The scope was extensive—a full gut renovation of the kitchen and bathroom, adding a bedroom to the upstairs unit by reconfiguring space from downstairs, removing popcorn ceilings and textured walls throughout, replacing two bedroom ceilings, and tackling major plumbing, electrical, and painting work. On top of that, they built a custom Murphy bed with a wall of shelves; crafted built-ins that blend seamlessly with the character of my 1905 home; and added beams to ceilings so my kids could have swings in their bedrooms.

From my initial meeting with Erik Kortz to the day-to-day management by Kevin Donahue, the process was smooth, transparent, and well-organized. They were on time, on budget, and incredibly easy to communicate with. No matter how many "great ideas" I had along the way (there were a lot), they handled change orders seamlessly and never got flustered. Even with my ongoing input, they managed to keep the project on schedule—a truly impressive feat.

Their team of subcontractors is both talented and trustworthy. For five months, I had people in my home every day, and I felt completely comfortable with them. Now that the work is done, I love, love, love my house and still can’t believe I get to live here.

If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and responsive construction team, Stella Construction is the way to go. Best experience ever!

We hired Stella to finish our attic (added stairs, living space/office and a master bath). We live in the second floor condo in two family built in the 1920s. They were incredibly organized, communication was nonstop throughout the project, they went above and beyond our expectations. They were incredibly patient with accommodating our need. They pretty much got the project done almost two months ahead of schedule. Every service provider that came through our door was so nice and thoughtful (we lived through it for the whole 6 months and we didn’t have a lot of space to begin with and my husband works from home). We are so happy with the finished project!

Joe and Erik did a great job renovating our new condo. We gutted the only bathroom (and all of its layers of history) for a complete renovation. We updated for more efficient heating by replacing old windows, adding radiant floor heating, and adding a tankless combi-boiler, where we noticed immediate noticeable energy bill saves. Finally, they did some cosmetic changes throughout - painting everything, adding a kitchen backsplash, replacing fixtures, as well as fixing other miscelaneous items found in the inspection.

They laid out a plan and executed to the plan. Joe was a great project manager working with our schedules and providing updates along the way.
