JM Craftsmanship

Joe Mardo has run JM Craftsmanship, a Rochester carpentry and remodeling outfit, long enough to build a loyal following — a 2016 review from a repeat customer calls him "the only contractor I work with," having remodeled both the reviewer's Cape house and a sibling's. The written record is real but dated — nine reviews on Houzz running from 2016 to 2022, all five stars, describing work from custom bookshelves and wainscoting to a full kitchen renovation that included taking down a wall, a portico rebuild with a new exterior door and moulding work, and a deck replacement designed and built on budget. A 2018 review said every returned phone call came back in under five minutes, and the most recent, from 2022, described a coat-closet flip that finished above expectations. Nothing negative turned up anywhere in the record. JM Craftsmanship's own website states it holds a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license and a Construction Supervisor License, though neither is independently verified here — worth confirming directly. There's also no written review on file since 2022, so ask about current workload and availability. For carpentry, additions, or a full remodel from a small, owner-operated crew, JM Craftsmanship's track record reads well — just verify the license status and current scheduling before signing on.
