J. Valenzuela Construction

J. Valenzuela Construction is a family-owned remodeling contractor based in Boston, built around the kind of bathroom overhaul where a small, dated space gets gutted down to the studs and rebuilt. Reviewers keep circling back to the same two things: the tile work and the timeline — jobs finished in a couple of weeks without turning the rest of the house into a construction zone. The strongest account is a 2024 Thumbtack review describing Jordanis and his father building an accessible bathroom for a customer's elderly parents — working through material choices together, giving tile and shower-bench advice that saved money, and staying flexible with adjustments while finishing on budget and on time. Other reviews follow the same shape: a gut-renovated master bath finished despite the surprises that come with an old house, and a homeowner who compared several quotes before choosing this crew for being upfront about pricing. Most of that written record sits on Thumbtack, where the company holds a 4.7-star average across 24 ratings; Angi and HomeAdvisor each show a single 5-star rating, and further back, a 2019 Angi review also rated a bathroom renovation 5 stars. Thumbtack shows a 'License verified' badge for a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor license tied to the business — that's the platform's own check, not an independent registry lookup. Worth asking about before booking: outside Thumbtack the written record is thin, with just one rating apiece on Angi and HomeAdvisor, so most of what's here comes from a single platform. For a bathroom remodel — especially one involving accessibility needs or an older home likely to throw up surprises mid-project — the reviews describe a crew that adapts without losing the schedule; confirm current licensing directly and get a written scope before signing anything.
