Frequently Asked Questions
What is your process for managing a renovation or new construction project?

Our process ensures a smooth, stress-free experience for clients. Here’s how it works:

  • Initial Meeting: Windson Honorato connects with you via phone, Zoom, or an on-site visit to understand your project needs.
  • Budget & Planning: We review your vision, establish a budget range, and outline a rough timeline.
  • Pre-Construction: If the budget aligns, we finalize plans and obtain all necessary permits.
  • Construction: Our team begins with site preparation, followed by framing and specialty work, ensuring each phase meets the highest standards.
  • Ongoing Adjustments: We monitor progress closely, adjusting the plan as needed to stay on schedule and within budget.
How do I know if my project is within your scope?

We handle everything from small renovations to full home remodels and new builds. During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss your project goals to determine if we’re the right fit.

Do you handle obtaining building permits for Boston area construction?

Yes, we take care of all the necessary permits and inspections required for your project. We make sure everything complies with local regulations, so you don’t have to worry about the paperwork.

How long does a typical construction project take?

The timeline depends on the project size and scope. For example, a kitchen remodel might take a months to plan and execute, while a full home renovation could take significantly longer. We provide a detailed timeline during the planning phase and keep you updated throughout.

Do you serve areas outside of Boston?

How much will my Boston area construction project cost?

The cost of your construction varies depending on the scope and complexity of your project. During our initial meeting, we’ll discuss your budget and expectations. By using a cost-plus contract, we ensure you only pay for actual expenses (labor and materials) plus a transparent fee, with no hidden charges. We also explore value-engineering options to align your vision with your budget.

What other services do you offer beyond design-build?

In addition to full home remodels and additions, we provide comprehensive construction management and pre-construction planning services:

  • Construction Management: We act as your trusted partner throughout the entire project, coordinating all trades, managing schedules, and ensuring every detail is handled efficiently.
  • Pre-Construction Services: Before construction even begins, we work closely with you to refine your project design, establish a budget, and set clear expectations. This proactive planning helps prevent surprises and keeps your project aligned with your vision.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT US

We had a dormer bedroom and office added to our home in Arlington. After many calls and quote visits, JC General Contracting was by far the lowest price in the area and their work was phenomenal. Windson, the project manager, was excellent and responded very well to all my questions and queries. They helped us to get exactly what we wanted and everything came within our budget. They let us know the cost of any extras we decided on along the way (we decided to add on spray foam insulation and HVAC) so there were no major cost surprises. The team was all very friendly and the rooms look amazing. Would definitely recommend them. Thanks, Honorato!

 

Diego A., Boston, MA

We hired Windson and his team to finish our basement, which included adding a 3/4 bathroom.  From the get-go, my wife and I could tell Windson was not like the other contractors we had gotten quotes from. Windson was knowledgeable, respectful and his communication skills were unmatched. He helped guide us through the design process, making suggestions on how to better design the flow of our basement. He responded to our questions promptly and shared updates on the progress of the build regularly. The build process went smoothly, and we were extremely delighted with the final product that was delivered.  I would use Windson again for future projects and recommend him to friends.

 

Scott M., Newton, MA

Honorato Company was such a pleasure to work with, they built our first home! Windson was respectful, knowledgeable, and professional. He set our expectations just right by being honest. Throughout the build, he found creative solutions to keep the project going and to resolve the issues we encountered. José was always checking in on the crews and making sure the craftsmanship was the right quality. The process wasn’t “perfect” but knowing we were working with good people made it easier. We loved them!

 

Gina C., Lexington, MA

Windson supervised making a new full bathroom for our house. The project had a lot of different components, and Windson was extremely knowledgeable about all of them and found creative solutions as needed. For example, the window we wanted was back ordered and would not arrive in time because of extreme delays. Windson found a very good solution: a window of a slightly different size that fit in after some reframing. We also required the window frosted, and Windson arranged to modify the window he found to make it so. Later we needed some repairs for the deck and Windson's extensive expertise as a GC was again crucial to make the right decisions and do the structural repair without spending too much money. We are very satisfied with the quality of the work.
