Total Contracting - Your Reliable Construction Partner
Who We Are
Total Contracting is a full-service construction and reconstruction company with deep roots in New England. Originally founded to meet the growing demand for reliable general contracting and remodeling services, the company evolved after acquiring DryBoston—a well-respected restoration firm known for rapid emergency response and mitigation. Together, these two brands form a powerful, end-to-end solution for property owners navigating everything from planned renovations to unexpected disasters.

Core Values at Total Contracting
At Total Contracting, our values guide how we work, how we lead, and how we serve. They’re more than words—they’re how we build.
We lead with a positive mindset. Every job has challenges—but how we respond defines the result. We stay calm, adapt fast, and move forward with purpose. Negativity stalls progress; positivity drives solutions.
Kindness is a strength. Tough jobs don’t require tough attitudes. We lead with patience, respect, and a steady hand—because kindness builds trust, defuses stress, and strengthens every relationship on the job.
Respect is non-negotiable. We treat everyone—clients, teammates, and partners—with dignity. Trusted people do great work.
Integrity is our foundation. We do the right thing, even when no one’s watching. Honesty and accountability are built into everything we do.
We keep our word. If we commit to something, we follow through. Reliability builds trust—with clients, partners, and each other.
We act with urgency. We move quickly when clients need us most. We take ownership and resolve problems without delay.
We protect what matters. Time, tools, and materials are treated with care—just like they were our own.
Clarity keeps us aligned. Clear expectations and open communication make for efficient jobs and strong teams.
We compete to improve. Healthy competition makes us sharper, faster, and better at what we do.
We win together. No egos, no silos. We depend on each other and grow stronger as a team.
We own our mistakes. We value effort and growth. We learn, adjust, and never settle for “good enough.”
We take pride in every detail. Our work is a reflection of who we are. Quality is our signature.
We treat people right. Fairness, patience, and respect guide every interaction—on the jobsite, in the office, and in the community.
