Home Builder reviews in Newton, Massachusetts

I had the good fortune of Cindy Stumpo building our house. It all started when we had walked though a house that was being built by her. We loved it but it was way out of our budget, so we kept looking. After viewing a house that was at the top of our budget (and we hated it) my husband and I went to grab a quick dinner at Misono in West Roxbury. Fate or God (which ever you believe) put us at the table right next to Cindy, Ray and Samantha. Since we had never met her or seen her shows, we had no idea it was her. We ended up chatting and she introduced herself. I about choked on my sushi. We introduced ourselves and said we had loved a house she was building but couldn't afford it. She informed us she had just bought a property in the area we were looking to buy and then offered her cell phone number and said "it's yours until you tell me you don't want it." WHAT?!?! Who says that? We met with her the following week, met with her architect, informed her of our very strict budget and thus started the journey of 9 mos until we moved into our totally customized, hand picked, beautiful dream house.
We have now been in our house over 5 years and it still looks brand new! Very little settling cracks, opening of finish work joints, nothing. AND ANY TIME we have ever had a minor issue, Cindy is there to make it right.
She delivered our house before promised which was under 9 months and on budget!! Not many/any contractors can do this!
Having a house built was a stressful and exciting experience. As a woman, you would think that meeting with her subs (mostly male) would be intimidating; not Cindy's crew! What a class act! I always felt respected and heard! This could be our forever house, but I'd really love to get the chance to build with Cindy again. It's in God's hands.

Cindy is a powerhouse. Here is a woman that knows her industry and her own abilities more than anyone else out there. She is incredibly talented and successful, Even with that success she is down to earth and goes to great lengths to give of herself- albeit her advise , her wisdom, and even the occasional referral.... in my case It was all 3. She actually geve me some of the best advise about a year ago and for that I will be forever grateful. A true Class act, a true Human being

The best!
Cindy treats everybody like her family, she is one amazing lady. She doesn’t miss a text or a call.
You can reach this woman until midnight.
Her team are taught “STUMPO WAY”

Her homes are of the highest quality.
If your building call Cindy.

I grew up watching these gorgeous homes being constructed. I was always amazed at how stunning they were, from frame to finish. I noticed her personal number was posted on the company sign. One evening, I decided to contact Cindy, and she quickly returned my call! I was in shock. I couldn’t believe it was actually Cindy Stumpo calling me back. We spoke for over an hour, and I’m happy to now call her a close friend, mentor, and boss. She is undoubtedly the most caring and dedicated person I’ve had the honor of meeting.

I’ve had the pleasure to know Cindy for over ten years. She’s not only got the Biggest heart and always has your back. Cindy is truly as “tough as nails” in the workplace and authentic in everything she does.
I’ve known her to stay up all night and personally finish the touch ups herself to get the owners in on time. I’ve met her contractors that adore her and go to the end of the earth to get things Right..., now that’s saying a lot about a builder!
I can’t wait to begin my journey with Cindy Stumpo. I have so many questions but she puts my mind at ease with her vision. If you’re looking to build a home, you’ve got to walk through some of her finished homes and I assure you, you will look no further!

National Lumber and Stumpo Development have partnered together for over 30 years. By choosing high quality building products and ensuring a timely ordering process, Cindy and her team have consistently delivered projects on time and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a luxury property in the Brookline/Newton area.

Cindy is a top class builder! She makes the process extremely effortless from start to finish and to top it all she provides on going support for house maintenance! Don’t know of another builder that calls their clients to get snow off the roofs after a crazy storm!!! She is the best out there!

Have you ever run across a builder with a collection of Birkin bags? Have you ever run across a builder that is more deserving of these luxury handbags? Have you ever met a builder that works harder than Cindy who works seven days a week?

When Cindy builds your house not only is she your contractor but she becomes your friend. My house was built twenty plus years ago and I still call Cindy my friend and my builder. Why is she still my builder? Because she continues to fix anything that needs to be addressed and she’s at our house immediately. Even though she has gone on to build massive homes she gives us the same attention.

Is there anything negative you could say about Cindy? Yes, her hashtags need work!

We had the pleasure of building our house last year with Cindy.

She is dedicated, detail oriented, and passionate about her work. She is a constant advocate for you. You feel (and are) in safe hands and are constantly reassured of that fact throughout every stage of the process.

A consummate professional, behind whose sometimes gruff exterior lies a heart of gold, delivered a product of which we are extremely proud and grateful.

We are thankful to have found such wonderful partner for this adventure.

Cindy has done an amazing job running a job down in Fort Lauderdale for us. It’s a 9,200 sq foot home on the Intercoastal that was in need of an overall update while staying under budget. With her being 1200 miles away back in Massachusetts it has surely been a challenging task to say the least but she took on the responsibly without any hesitation. She has been a great help with design, costs, and overall project control. We cannot wait to see the finished product and hope to work together down here for years to come !

No one can compare to Cindy’s work. She is a perfectionist and settles for nothing less than perfect on all of her homes. She gives her personal guarantee on all work. You won’t find that anywhere else, even years later, you call her and she is there. Rare find in today’s industry.

Proud to have had Cindy Stumpo / C.Stumpo Development build my house. I researched and interviewed several builders and Cindy’s reputation and attention to detail was why I chose her. She was always available to answer my questions and her work was impeccable. We are thrilled with the work she has done.
Her team and workmen were courteous and conscientious. I highly recommend C.Stumpo Development for your build.

We reached out to Cindy because of a small problem with a door: she immediately responded and sent help the very next morning. "No big deal, you say?" Well, the kicker to the story is that it's been 19 years (!) since Cindy built our house. It's tough to put a price on that sort of amazing follow-through. Thank you!

Loved working with C Stumpo Development! Cindy’s ability to connect with her clients, attention to detail and work ethic are inspiring. Each member of her team shares a unique sense of pride in creating and delivering exceptional quality and service. Samantha was a joy to work with and made our experience stress free.
I enthusiastically recommend Cindy and her entire team for your home development needs!

Cindy came in as a highly regarded reference from multiple sources. Our friends couldn't stop raving about her. So I called her up and within minutes Cindy had won us over. She was patient with us, understood our needs and helped us design and build our dream home. She was willing to go out of her way to help us out and empowering us with the knowledge to make the right decisions ourselves. She is not hesitant to get her hands dirty to ensure everything is perfect. Her attention to detail is bar none.

It was such a breath of fresh air working with her and we see her as part of our family. It has been five years since she built our incredible home and she still regularly checks up on us to ensure everything is going well. My wife and I have nothing but high praise for her.

Cindy built my wife and I a house a couple years back. It was by far one of the greatest experiences we have had building a home. Cindy is very reliable, trust worthy, always answered all my calls no matter what time it was. She made the process easy for us.

Cindy and the rest of the C. STUMPO team you guys are simply amazing at what you do day in and day out. After meeting with Cindy this past week to show me a wonderful home that she built I was just amazed. The best thing about seeing each one of Cindy’s homes that she does for her clients is that everything is custom to how the client wants it done. See you soon Cindy.❤️

When we first met Cindy, we were thinking of adding a family-room to our existing ranch house in Newton. More than 20 years later, she has built 3 beautiful custom homes for us and we have enjoyed living in each of them for many years. She delivers on time, on budget and most importantly stands by her well build houses. I strongly recommend Cindy and her team to anyone looking to build a premium custom home.

Cindy is a top-notch builder, and goes well beyond being your builder to being your friend and part of your family. We first met Cindy two years ago when we were looking for a single-family house in Brookline or Newton with a fairly limited budget. We heard several testimonials from friends who Cindy had built homes for and we loved her houses, style and quality. However, we weren’t really in the ballpark for these expensive houses. Anyway, decided to give C. Stumpo Development a call. On the other side of the line was Cindy herself. Simple, down to earth listening carefully to our needs and affordability (or lack of). This conversation was the beginning of a wonderful friendship. Cindy listen, but really listen. Her advice may not always be the one you are looking for, but honest and always based on your best interest. She is a woman of her word and does honest business the old fashion way. She helped us find a beautiful old house that we could have never afford buying without her help. Leading her amazing team, she has renovated this old house into beautiful place that has significantly increased its value and our happiness building a life in this new amazing house. The could have never afford the cost of such high-quality renovation without her and she is always at your back call. A true rare woman for real people. Cannot recommend her highly enough.

We made the best choice in choosing C Stumpo Development to build our home in 2011. We were so thrilled with her expertise that we had her build an addition to our home in 2016. She built a gorgeous sunroom addition. Cindy is the best! We love our home and highly recommend her. Cindy takes the stress out of the process and was very professional and helpful.

Cindy is a passionate and dedicated Builder. She works tirelessly to deliver a quality home. And, she takes a personal interest in each of her clients. We have worked with her several times and doubt we would ever do a project without her.
