COMPANY STORY AND EVOLUTION
Smart Build is the evolution of Smart Coats, a painting company founded nearly 20 years ago, and has grown to become one of the largest commercial renovation service providers in the region.
Many years ago, a local immigrant family was trying to make their way in a new country. Armed with a strong sense of purpose and a desire to build a better life, they eventually made their way to the Newton, MA area, where they began establishing new roots. As if the challenges of moving to a new country with a young family weren’t hard enough, they were also first-time home buyers trying to acquire a property that could become the hearth – and indeed the heart – of the family for generations to come.
In spite of the odds, they managed to acquire a promising new home. However, the property needed some work, so they turned to people calling themselves “professionals.” The family had no tools to screen them, so they had to take a leap of faith. Unfortunately, this faith turned out to be misplaced, and the so-called “professionals” turned out to be fly-by-nighters who left them with a dismantled home, frayed nerves, and a dejected spirit. The family had no recourse and nowhere to turn.
From the ashes of this tumultuous experience rose Smart Build. Our founder, Edward Sarkisyan, watched his parents struggle through this exploit and felt that that nobody should have to experience this type of mistreatment and indecency.
Our company started out with just a couple guys knocking on doors and painting houses in the local Newton-Wellesley area in 2002. We quickly learned that if you treat people the way they deserve to be treated, with courtesy, respect, and honesty above all else, clients will recognize that level of commitment and come back time and again.
And come back they did, but not just for our painting work. We soon realized that our clients preferred to work with a company that could perform all necessary renovation services, including carpentry. Over time, past clients asked us to perform other types of projects, such as kitchen and bathroom remodeling, which lead to us becoming a full-scale renovation contractor. Years later, after perfecting our craft, we began servicing commercial industries, including multi-family residential apartment complexes, condominium associations, retail buildings, office spaces and more.
Smart Build was founded in 2018 with a clear focus on specializing in commercial renovation services, providing a comprehensive range of offerings that include everything from detailed take-offs to expert project management. While we have grown and expanded our capabilities over time, one thing has remained constant: our commitment to delivering top-tier service and exceptional results. We pride ourselves on offering the same level of personal attention and dedication to every client, whether large or small, ensuring that the trust and professionalism we built from the very beginning continue to define our work.
Our success has always been built on lasting relationships, and we have been fortunate to collaborate with clients from a wide variety of industries. We believe in understanding each client’s unique needs and goals, offering tailored solutions that not only meet expectations but exceed them. From the first consultation to the completion of the project, we ensure that every step is executed with precision, care, and a focus on quality.
At Smart Build, we are not just focused on the work; we are deeply invested in the relationships we build along the way. Each project represents an opportunity to forge a new partnership based on mutual trust, respect, and shared success. We take great pride in the opportunity to serve our clients and are excited about the future as we continue to grow, evolve, and build new relationships. We are sincerely grateful for the trust our clients have placed in us and remain committed to exceeding expectations every step of the way.
