## The honest read

Ask homeowners who've hired ARS Construction and the same word keeps surfacing: craftsmanship. The Marblehead design-build remodeler, run by Aaron Schreibman, has racked up 14 written reviews since 2017 — every one of them five stars, several from clients who came back for a second or third project. The company's own site says it's been operating for 20 years, working mainly kitchens, bathrooms, decks and full custom homes across Marblehead and Swampscott.

Aaron is named by homeowners in nearly every account. In a 2019 review, a client described hiring him for a kitchen-and-two-bath redo followed by a deck rebuild over about 18 months, calling him responsive throughout with a crew that gave advance notice before decisions had to be made. In a 2020 review, another client who hired him for a bathroom gut renovation with a full drain stack replacement called his communication 'off the charts.' That same year, a different customer described his crew repairing and rebuilding a 3rd- and 4th-story deck — including a custom pergola — in five days during one of the hottest weeks of the summer, with cleanup as careful as the work itself. More recently, reviews from mid-2026 describe hiring ARS for multiple projects, including a kitchen remodel, a primary-suite bathroom and a fire-damaged living space rebuild, with one customer writing every job has exceeded expectations. Houzz lists 25 ratings, all five stars, and 16 posted projects.

ARS holds two Massachusetts licenses verified active by BuildZoom — a Home Improvement Contractor registration (#180199) and a Construction Supervisor license (#CS-108060) under Aaron Schreibman's name. On cost and scheduling, reviewers say estimates held: a 2017 review of a bathroom remodel noted the cost and time estimate were 'spot on — no surprises or delays,' and a 2024 deck review said the job finished on time and within the agreed budget. One thing worth reconciling before booking: the company's own site cites 20 years in business, while a BuildZoom blurb puts it at 'over 15 years of experience.'

For a kitchen, bathroom, deck or full custom build in Marblehead or Swampscott, this is a shop with close to a decade of documented, often repeat, client work behind it — confirm current license status and get the estimate in writing before signing on.

**Strengths:**
- Owner-led craftsmanship — Aaron Schreibman named across a decade of reviews
- Repeat clients — several homeowners returned for multiple projects
- Estimates held — reviewers cite costs and schedules met as promised
- Deep project history — Houzz shows 25 five-star ratings and 16 projects

**Where sources disagree:**
- Company's own site states 20 years in business; a BuildZoom blurb cites 'over 15 years of experience' for the same owner
