We had extensive work done by Marcello and his crews. They added a master bath, renovated a guest bath, added a back door and stairs, some new windows, opened up the kitchen and refinished the large basement. All the work was done within budget and of high quality. We highly recommend this company

I highly recommend Marcellos Builders and Design without reservation. My garage had to be demolished and rebuilt on the same footprint. Marcello’s work was perfect from start to finish. Marcello was meticulous in making sure all the measurements were correct. He oversaw the building of the new foundation consistent with the current building codes for the City of Newton. His carpenters who did the framing are the very best out there...doing such excellent work without taking any breaks, and their pride in their finished work, my new garage, was wonderful to behold. The siding and the painting were also great..careful, meticulous, two coats of paint, all looking just great!! I should also add that Marcellos has a great sense of design. He was helpful in picking out the right size windows. I look forward to having Marcellos Design and Builders do more renovations to this wonderful 1890 Victorian home. He is delightful to work with and follows through on all aspects of the project at hand. I am so glad to have found such a great contractor! I highly recommend him and his company!

Marcellos was everything you would want in a contractor. Crew showed up on time every day weather permitting. Pointed out everything that needed repair.. even things I hadn't noticed and guided me through his repairs and progress each day. Crew was meticulous in every detail of carpentry and painting. Frequently walked me around the house to make sure all work was to my satisfaction. Extremely pleased and would highly recommend!

I have had the pleasure of working directly with Marcelo of Marcellos Design and Builders when my wife and I bought our first home, He is thoughtful, meticulous, hard working business owner that will not be satisfied until you are. He has the drive and passion to make sure the job goes as smooth as possible. Whether it is a small bathroom remodel or a large scale addition.....Marcelo can handle it from start to finish. I would highly recommend Marcelo and his team to do work for me the next time I need anything remodeled. In his line of work....it is hard to find anyone more enriched in building knowledge and skill as Marcelo. 5 STARS!

Took 6 weeks was supposed to take 2. Didn’t know how to tile penny rounds correctly. Promised it would be fine when grouted—-it wasn’t . Grouting doesn’t hide bad tile work. They cracked the original marble threshold and didn’t let me know. They promised to redo it and they were paid. Nearly 5 months of excuses later and it’s not done and honestly we don’t want them back in out home at this point. Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this company.

Marcello's company did and excellent job. We are now enjoying a full den with beautiful floors, a big office and a full bath. The laundry room is great with new sink and washer and dryer. They added wrought iron railings for the front steps, repaired the brickwork and added blue stone for steps and porch. The painters did an excellent job inside and out. All of the workers were polite and professional. They went above and beyond what was expected. I highly recommend them.

Went very well, this is the second time we've used Marcello's Renovations. There were a couple of days when work was to be done and wasn't (usually for a specific reason and I was always told), but most days workers came when scheduled and the timeline wasn't affected. Work is very high quality and everything got done as I expected/directed. Very clean, thorough work; all subcontractors were top notch, and very friendly and respectful.

Marcello and his crew did a great job and were a pleasure to work with. They listened to all our suggestions, offered improved ideas when possible, and executed our project beautifully. They removed walls to open up our kitchen and main living area. This area was demolished down to the studs and reconstructed beautifully and to our specifications. Not all of the new cabinets came in the right size, but Marcello's crew made it all come together seamlessly. Our wood floor was refinished and additional wood added in the new kitchen. The transition is undetectable. We also had a new deck installed along with french doors. Marcello offered helpful suggestions for decking material and door styles. Our deck needed deep footings for added stability and the building inspector was very cautious. This resulted in the footing being dug and poured 3 times. Marcello's crew were terrific and completed the work repeatedly without complaint. We are very pleased with our finished project. The workers' attention to detail was second to none in every aspect of our job. Everyone was pleasant, professional and meticulous.

All the work was done well and we were very pleased with the results. We were always asked for our input, to ensure we were satisfied and to determine if anything else/different was needed. They even helped get us a heavily discounted price on the purchase of the doors; way below what we originally expected to pay. We plan to use MR again for any renovation work we may need!

Fantastic experience with Marcello's Renovations. We interviewed 03 top rated contractors from Massachusetts and when chosen Marcello's from the first meeting because he was the one with the most positive attitude and he possesses the ability of doable way for averything on our construction process from the beginning to finish. This was our first renovation experience and we were very confident when Marcello's made Hes decisions when problems was encountered on the way and the final product was unbelievable extremely perfect. We highly recommend Marcello's for anyone that is looking for a company that takes pride of the exlenty high quality of craftsmanship they delivery to their customers.

Marcello's team did an excellent job on this complicated remodel of an existing tiled custom master bathroom shower. The quality of the workmanship was exemplary, and his team was polite and professional throughout the whole process. Out of the 3 contractors that I had bid the job, Marcello was able to work within my budget parameters and give me a fair price.

We couldn't be more please with the work that Marcello and his crew performed for us throughout the entire two projects.  It was clear that there was a high standard set with respect to how work is done each day - from the small things like clean workspaces at the end of the day, minimal disruption to the rest of the living space as much as possible and ensuring safety is maintained for our family during the construction process, to the big project decisions and attention to detail.  We are extremely satisfied with the work performed.   

With respect to the work itself - we were very impressed with not only the quality of the work but the advice and guidance that the crew came to us when facing issues.  For example - while we wanted to take out a larger portion of the wall, there was ductwork found that needed to be addressed.  either re-route it or adjust our design to accommodate a more open concept on the other side.  We ended up moving our design around and ended up with what we think is a much better solution and better flow between the rooms based on Marcello's framing lead's suggestion. 

Another example of the team's great attention to detail was with our deck project.  we were initially looking to replace the boards and railing but was suggested that they include some lattice work at the base to hide the section below.  not just screwing a piece of lattice to the bottom as I probably would have done but they had the framing done and finish trim that really made for a professional looking end result that we couldn't be more pleased with.  Other things like making sure there were no blemishes in the wood flooring or having the right size of flooring staggered throughout the 950 sq ft of space what was done - things you would tend to expect but not always thought about when working with other contractors.  Marcello's crew certainly paid attention to all of the right details in my opinion.

It was clearly evident that the crews (framing, finish carpentry, electrical, drywall) cared to ensure that they had a high quality of work and that it was done right the first time (and for the last time).  The effort put forth by his team was more than noteworthy.  for example, the deck project was one not exactly expected but we took it on with the hope that it would be able to be completed by a certain time. The crew definitely came through even working a few long hour days to make sure they were again, doing things carefully and most importantly the right way the first time, but also meeting and exceeding our expected schedule. 

On a personal note, being a tinkerer myself, I am always interested in learning how other people do things (probably the right way compared to what I might do) so I was usually hanging around.  never did the crew make me feel like I was hovering or trying to inspect their work as they were going but rather were open to offering why certain things were done.

To conclude, I would have no hesitation recommending Marcello's Renovations for work and would look to use them again for another project, big or small.
