# ACS Group Inc - General contractor **Trade:** General Contractor / Remodeling · **Address:** 26A Sheafe St, Malden, MA 02148, USA · **Phone:** (617) 381-0822 · **Website:** http://www.acsgroupinc.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.6/5** (medium confidence) — from 32 reviews across 5 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 3 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read ACS Group is a family-run general contractor based in Malden, working across residential remodels, retail build-outs, and restaurant construction throughout the Boston area. The company was founded by brothers Dauro and Mucio, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active and verified. A recurring thread across the reviews is restaurant and commercial work: one client describes ACS building three restaurants for them with a fourth underway, another credits the company with The Ford Tavern in Medford, and a third had ACS build the restaurant they had been planning for years, with reviewers singling out the tile, electrical, and carpentry work. On the residential side the same names keep appearing — Mucio walking a family through a kitchen remodel, a full kitchen-bathroom-and-deck renovation that included structural and engineering work, and a 30-unit condominium association crediting the team with staying flexible and fair on pricing through a changing scope. What clients repeat most is that the company does what it says it will, on the timeline and budget it quotes — reviews spanning 2022 through mid-2026 keep calling out on-time, on-budget delivery specifically, including from an architect and a real estate broker/investor who each describe working with ACS regularly on other people's projects. One client of twenty years calls the reliability rare, having worked with, in their words, hundreds of contractors over that time. Review volume has stayed steady, with three landing in the six months before this read. For a homeowner, ACS reads as a strong fit for a serious remodel or an addition rather than a small handyman job — the work described runs kitchens, bathrooms, decks, home additions, and full retail or restaurant build-outs. Worth confirming current lead times and getting a firm written scope, since a company doing restaurant and retail work alongside residential jobs may be booked out further than a smaller shop. **Strengths:** - Restaurant build-outs — three restaurants completed for one repeat client - On-time, on-budget — consistently delivered across job types - Family-run leadership — owners personally engaged on client projects - Verified HIC license — active Massachusetts registration - Long client relationships — some spanning twenty years ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration verified active (license 163467) _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://contractorhub.mass.gov/s/hic-contractor-search) — “MA hic license 163467 verified active” - Family-owned, founded by brothers Dauro and Mucio, self-reported 21 years in business _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](http://www.acsgroupinc.com) — “Company history (self-reported): Founded by brothers Dauro and Mucio out of humble beginnings; the site states the company has 21 years of e…” - [Official Website](http://www.acsgroupinc.com) — “Self-reported 21 years in business” - Repeat restaurant clients — built three restaurants for one customer, a fourth underway _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT214VGNXSTFWR05MY0ZaUk9WQXpMVkp0ZDA4NVJVRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xc697de84cefa2394!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOmxTcWI1VGNLcFZROVAzLVJtd085RUE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Great work responsible and focused on owners needs They have built 3 restaurants for us and working on the 4th” - Named restaurant build — credited with The Ford Tavern in Medford _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNSOVphVkR3EAE!2m1!1s0x0:0xc697de84cefa2394!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgICR9ZaVDw%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ From start to finish, I can’t speak highly enough of this company.
