Cutting Edge Homes, Inc

Sean Cutting, the owner of Cutting Edge Homes is a crook. He is millions in the whole and has failed to pay sub contractors for over 18 months, failed to pay employees, employment taxes owed, and has taken full payment for a house construction that is 50% complete.

It is baffling that Sean Cutting of Cutting Edge Homes Inc. is on the Board of the BBB. He has a long history of misappropriating funds of clients and using those funds for purposes other than for which they were intended. On our property, a fixed service contract, he has completed 50% of the work but has been paid in full. He has apologized for the situation (very funny), but has failed to find a remedy and continues to say to us and to subs that he is seeking financing. He owes sub contractors, hardworking and honest individuals, hundreds of thousands of dollars for work completed on our project. This work includes an $89k bill to Mofford Concrete and $20k to Spolodoro Plumbing that resulted in a lien, $32k to Dry Air Systems Inc., $32k to mason, $19k to Bean and Company. These monies represent money paid in full by us and for work completed and billed by sub contractors. Cutting Edge Homes has not paid for for any of this completed work. He also is 36 years old and claims to be in business 19 years.

A warning to all! We have been working with Cutting Edge Builders on a full renovation of our townhouse in Wayland. We started the design process 6/22 and got our permits in March of 2023. Demo began shortly after that. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to us, that is when the company spiraled into financial difficulties. They strung us along, asking for payments according to the payment structure that was set up. In June we started complaining that we were significantly ahead of the work that had been done. The company owner kept promising they would get us back on track and even asked for another installment. We paid it in good faith, expecting our kitchen cabinets to be ordered and work to pick up. Everything came to a halt mid-July. All the sub-contractors walked out and refused to work until they got paid for work done on other jobs done for Cutting Edge. We had a port-a-potty in our garage that we have been complaining needed to be cleaned. We discovered they did not have enough money to even pay for it to be serviced. We paid 2/3 of the budgeted project and only 30% of the work done. Our whole townhouse is gutted w/about 90% framing & electrical worked roughed in. Our cabinets for new kitchen, bathrooms and other millwork, which we signed off on in April, haven’t been ordered and Cutting Edge couldn’t make the deposit. They suggested we pay the subs and kitchen cabinet manufacturer directly to keep the job moving forward and Cutting Edge would reimburse us once they were able to do so. We declined to give any more money as we paid more than enough for the millwork deposit already. We even had to pay the port-a-potty company directly to have the toilet removed in August. It was disgusting. Cutting Edge hadn’t paid them since mid-April with a hold on servicing it since mid-July. Cutting Edge said they were still committed to finishing our job, but they have basically abandoned us. Please read other reviews, which we unfortunately did not, and stay away from Cutting Edge Builders!!!

We hired Cutting Edge to do a substantial home renovation on the south shore. Our issues can be summed up in three main categories but each has several examples and issues along the way. First and foremost, despite us paying all of our bills to them in a timely fashion, they failed to pay subcontractors resulting in 2 liens being placed on our property one of which took more than 2 months for them to resolve. They were doing a classic ponzi scheme and taking our money and paying off old debts but not paying the contractors working on our house. Second, the project design and oversight / communication was terrible. We would have weekly calls for 1 hour where they would have 2-3 members of their team on and I am not sure their design professional ever had a clue as to what was going on. She would recommend things that didn't match or go with other items she had recommended the week earlier etc. The third and final complaint is the quality of work which could only be described as cut-rate despite paying a premium for the services. We had to have three other subcontractors come back and fix everything from locks being installed crooked, lightswitches in the wrong places, light fixtures not being installed correctly and tile flooring being put in that had cracks in it before it was installed... All in all I would tell you to never give this company a dime, Sean is not trustworthy

We met Sean & Ryan at the Home Show in Foxboro in February, 2012. We discussed a new look for our fireplace. We had a picture in mind and they ran with it. They designed an awesome fireplace for us. They transformed a brick fireplace with beautiful ceramic tile and a custom made wood surround. They also installed crown molding in both the living room and dining room. They were extremely professional and I would highly recommend their work. The one nice thing that they did is they did not require payment until the project was done. You don't find that with many contractors.
