JFB Construction is a family-run North Shore Massachusetts outfit built on masonry — concrete, brick, retaining walls, chimney repointing — that has grown into broader remodeling work: roofing, siding, kitchen and bath jobs, and seasonal snow removal. It holds an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, and reviewers most often name Benjamin or Marvin as the crew doing the actual work. The last six months brought seven straight positive reviews. In July 2026, one homeowner described a deck repair where 'the owner answered the phone every time I called' and the crew 'cleaned up well at the end'; another called the process 'brief but informative' with 'a fair estimate.' A May 2026 Angi review named Marvin specifically for a cement-stairs repair and a long-stuck porch door fix. The written record runs deeper: in 2019 reviews, customers described JFB rebuilding a garage concrete floor and building a retaining wall after demolishing an old brick one, repairing salt damage to a concrete garage floor, and finishing jobs in a single day well enough that a neighbor hired them too. Its Angi rating sits at a perfect 5.0 across 12 reviews, though most of that record is from spring 2019, with only three ratings added in 2026. Thumbtack's 9-review history is nearly as strong (4.7★) but includes one 2-star rating alongside the 89% five-star mix, without detail on what went wrong. Its Angi listing is also filed under an older business name, 'Chimney One,' though the profile identifies itself as JFB Masonry Construction — worth confirming you're looking at the same crew before booking. A solid call for masonry, concrete and deck or porch repair work in the Lynn area; for a bigger remodel like a kitchen or bath, ask for recent references, since the written record so far is almost entirely about masonry and repair jobs.
They were excellent, very attentive, organized. Great work quality, will consider for sure on any future projects
I had a great experience with JFB Carpentry. I was quoted an extremely reasonable price for a deck repair. The owner answered the phone every time I called with a question. The crew was professional, EXTREMELY thorough and cleaned up well at the end. I feel 100% better about the safety of my deck after their repair.
Brief but informative interaction. Obtained a fair estimate for the project.
Marvin was both very knowledgeable and and professional. Had my cement stairs repaired and I was very pleased. Marvin also fixed my porch door that had been sticking for the past 3 years. I would highly recommend Marvin for any masonry work. John Cavanaugh
I like the way Jfb responses to new customer intial inquiries to the issues that they may be having. work in progress will report back with an update. As far as I can see they're 5 stars .
