When the Woburn-based home remodeling company Newpro abruptly shut its doors on October 28, 2025, thousands of Massachusetts homeowners were blindsided, left feeling frustrated and anxious about what would happen to their in-progress projects. The closure occurred due to a bankruptcy filing from Newpro’s parent company, Renovo Home Partners. Newpro may have disappeared virtually overnight, but homeowners still have a dependable NewPro alternative in FRG Contractor.
In their haste to close their doors, Newpro left behind unfinished projects that resulted in lost deposits and left a gaping hole in the local home improvement industry. For residents in Woburn and surrounding towns who had projects and deals in the works with Newpro, this wasn’t just news. It was personal. What would happen to those projects? Who would finish the work? Could they somehow recover the hard-earned money they invested in their home improvements?
There are certainly a lot of questions remaining unanswered at this time, but there is a silver lining in the midst of it all. FRG Contractor, a trusted local company with decades of experience (also based in Woburn) is stepping in to help stranded homeowners move forward with confidence.
Sudden Shutdown Leaves Homeowners in Limbo
Newpro has always been considered a household name in New England, having been in business since 1945. Known for their expertise in window, door, siding, and roof replacements, as well as quick-turnaround bath remodels, Newpro was the go-to option for homeowners looking to give their homes a makeover.
So when the company suddenly ceased operations, they left behind projects half-finished, communication cut off, and work crews unpaid. Once news of the closure hit, homeowners were left scrambling for answers. Many had already spent thousands of dollars, secured financing, or scheduled major renovations that have since been left abandoned.
Confusion…financial strain…fear of choosing the wrong contractor again. You name it, customers felt it. This is where FRG Contractor is uniquely positioned to help.
