Juan Rivera runs JCL Construction, and he is who the reviews are about — five of the seven written Google reviews name him personally. The company is based in Lynn, says it has been working 17 years, and gives its area as Cambridge and Boston, taking residential and commercial remodeling, new construction, concrete, painting and flooring. Two of those reviews are about bathrooms. In a September 2025 review, a customer who had used JCL for smaller jobs over several years said Juan and his team remodeled their bathroom, and that learning how many bathrooms he had already renovated is what made the bigger job feel safe. In August 2025, another described trading an old bathtub for a walk-in shower — on time, no dust, eight days in total. Three reviews land on the same unglamorous things: arriving when promised and leaving the place clean. One September 2025 customer put it as "no hunting them down." The work runs past remodeling, too. A May 2025 reviewer who has hired him since 2018 listed electrical, plumbing and carpentry jobs both at home and at the 21-unit Boston condominium building where they live, and another the same month described a basement insulated with fiberglass ahead of winter. Its Google page sits at 4.2 stars from 11 ratings. For a bathroom gut or a tub-to-shower conversion around Boston, this is a small outfit whose owner is on the job himself — ask Juan to put the schedule in writing, and get his licence and insurance details before the first demolition day.

My experience with JCL Construction has been the best home renovation experience I've ever had. Juan and his team did excellent work, they were professional, they arrived when they said they would and they always cleaned up after themselves. No hunting them down. Juan had great ideas for how to handle some areas. He is quite used to working on older homes, which mine is. JCL is my go-to contractor from here on in.
Juan exceeded our expectations when he and his team remodeled our bathroom. We had great results with JCL on much smaller jobs over the last few years, and we felt we could trust him on this much larger undertaking when we learned of the many bathrooms he had renovated. Juan is very easy to work with. He responds quickly to email questions, listens carefully, offers suggestions based on knowledge and learnings from similar jobs. He's flexible and receptive to changes requested. Juan finished our job ahead of schedule. He's always reliable and takes pride in his company's work. He lets us know each step of each job. We are very happy with the results and don't hesitate to recommend JCL Construction.
A couple of weeks ago, Juan did a remodeling of my old bathtub replacing it with a walk-in shower. I cannot think of a better experience with any contractor. Juan's work was always on-time, he made sure there was no dust or any other disruption. It took him 8 days in total to create a new, beautiful, and safe shower for me. He is very responsible and is proud of the work he does. I really would like others to think of him and his company for your next project. Gracias Juam
I have used Juan Rivera, owner of JCL Construction, since 2018. He has worked on a number of electrical, plumbing and carpentry projects for me personally and also for the 21 unit condominium building in Boston where I reside. The quality of Juan’s workmanship and his attention to detail are excellent. His pricing is competitive, and he consistently completes jobs on time. Juan always provides great feedback and recommendations whenever preparing proposals and he is a pleasure to work with.
Juan did a great job helping me insulate my basement for the winter. He used premium fiberglass insulation and it helped protect my family from being very cold !
