Who we are

Newton's reconstruction and remodeling contractor

Our story

Built for reconstruction and remodeling, not just repairs

Total Contracting is a Newton-based construction and reconstruction company built around two disciplines: rebuilding after property damage, and remodeling the homes and buildings our clients already live and work in. The company grew alongside DryBoston Restoration — a 24/7 emergency-mitigation firm — which we acquired to close the gap between the emergency call and the finished rebuild.

Together, DryBoston handles the emergency mitigation and Total Contracting manages the reconstruction and remodeling — one coordinated process, one point of accountability, from the first call to the final walkthrough.

What we believe

Core values

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.

Positive mindset

Every job has challenges — but how we respond defines the result. We stay calm, adapt fast, and move forward with purpose.

Kindness is a strength

We lead with patience, respect, and a steady hand — because kindness builds trust and strengthens every relationship.

Integrity

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.

Act with urgency

We move quickly when clients need us most. We take ownership and resolve problems without delay.

We win together

No egos, no silos. We depend on each other and grow stronger as a team.

Own our mistakes

We value effort and growth. We learn, adjust, and never settle for "good enough."

Pride in every detail

Our work is a reflection of who we are. Quality is our signature.
