Verified record
Alton Barnes is a painting, carpentry, and handyman business based in the Wareham/Mattapoisett area, founded and run by Marcio "Mack" Mombrini, and the written record is both deep and consistently strong: 27 reviews from 2021 through this year, almost all five stars, describing a genuinely wide range of work done well. An April 2026 review describes Mack calling back quickly after a voicemail and meeting the homeowner at the property soon after a tree came down in a windstorm and damaged the deck and porch. Another review from the same month describes hiring him to paint a child's room, praising him as reliable and trustworthy, with no mess left behind and no rushing through the job. The range of work described is real: a 2023 review describes Mack and his team measuring carefully to build a custom-sized screen door and install a dog door for an 1870 farmhouse, with the post-job cleanup called immaculate; a 2021 review describes a 30-day home renovation where the crew "exceeded expectations" with timely communication throughout. Several reviews describe deck repairs — homeowners consistently mention Mack and his partner Marcelo taking time to properly diagnose what needed fixing before starting. A mid-2024 review describes a same-day tile repair completed under time pressure ahead of a home-sale inspection. One thing worth checking directly: HomeAdvisor and Angi both list a Massachusetts trade license (#205895) for the company, and that listing shows an expiration date of September 8, 2026 — just about a week before today. It's worth confirming with Mack that it's been renewed before signing a contract. For interior painting, custom carpentry, deck repair, or a range of smaller handyman jobs around the South Shore, Cape Cod, or the Islands, this is a deep, well-corroborated record of careful, communicative work — just get the license status confirmed given how recently that date passed.
I hired Mac to paint my son's room and was very happy with the results. He is reliable, trustworthy, and always arrived on time. He kept everything clean, made no mess, and didn't rush the process. I'm very satisfied and highly recommend him!
Mack from Alton Barnes called me back quickly from the VM I had left, and met me at the property shortly after. I had deck and porch damage from a big tree that came down and glanced the side of the house after a bad wind storm we had. Upper deck was unstable. Repairs needed to be done ASAP. Mack was on it right away. His communication thru out the job was outstanding, sending me pictures of his progress along the way. He finished quickly as well. No waiting or wondering if he was going to show up. Property was cleaned up after the job as well. I couldn't be happier with his work. Mack is honest, gives great money saving suggestions and quickly follows thru! I'm already planning to hire him again for another few jobs I have in mind.
