A realtor of more than 20 years wrote in a June 2023 review that she sends every seller and buyer who needs repairs, updates or an addition to Joe Marmai. That is roughly the range of this Hanover, Massachusetts builder: Joe Marmai Building, Remodeling & Restoration takes on building and remodeling work of most sizes, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. The jobs customers describe run from one room to a whole floor. A January 2024 reviewer had the kitchen remodeled; a June 2023 customer describes the crew gutting the entire first floor and rebuilding the kitchen, living and dining area. Bathrooms come up often — a February 2025 review covers a master bath and a downstairs bath done in spring 2024, and a June 2023 homeowner who hadn't touched the house in 30-plus years traded a 1950s yellow tub for a white-and-navy bathroom with a walk-in shower. Outdoor structures are the other half of the work. A July 2024 review describes a double-decker, three-season porch and calls the crew responsive and courteous; a November 2023 customer got a front porch and back deck; a June 2023 screen porch went up through the winter, with the crew there on the coldest days and the estimate coming in on budget. Several 2023 reviewers mention the same two things: the site left clean day to day, and the schedule holding. Two reviewers changed their plans mid-project — one in February 2025 who revised the original bathroom design, one in April 2024 building a bedroom addition — and both describe the changes being absorbed without a fight. A November 2025 customer who has hired him more than once called the crew clean and trustworthy. Good fit for an addition, a porch, or a gut remodel of a kitchen or bathroom where one crew runs the whole job. Before signing, put the scope and the change-order process in writing, confirm current liability and workers' compensation coverage, and ask to see a finished project close to the size of yours.

Joe and his team were great! Very clean and very trustworthy! We have used him a few times and have always been very happy with his work!
I am late in posting this review. This renovation was done spring 2024. I hired Joe Marmai a year ago to renovate my master bathroom and to update my downstairs bathroom. As I started preparing for the renovation I decided to make some changes to the original plan and Joe was great about accepting my requests, and tweaked the project to accommodate these changes. Both bathrooms are original to the house, but it was the master that really needed a lot of work. The bathtub was replaced by a walk-in shower, which came out amazing, and everything else in this bathroom was brought up to date. Gone are the wall tiles, which I hated to clean, and now it’s a simple and elegant bathroom. Love everything about it. My downstairs bathroom is now updated as well with a new vanity and other updated features. I am very happy with the results in both bathrooms and happy that I went with Joe Marmai as the contractor for this project. Joe takes pride in what he does, is very professional and stands by his work. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone, you will be happy that you chose him.
We hired Joe to build a double-decker, three-season porch for our house and found him and his crew to be outstanding to work with. He was professional, responsive, and courteous throughout, and he and his team did excellent work that now looks great. We're thrilled with the end product, as it's now a vital addition to our home that we use everyday. Would absolutely work with him again. Highly recommend!
A quality builder and did his work just the way I wanted
We had Joe and his crew build a bedroom addition for us. From the minute we emailed Joe to come give a quote, he was responsive, friendly, attentive and handled all of our various changes along the way. Joe’s crew were amazing as well. It was a pleasure working with Joe and crew and honestly there wasn’t one time during our four month project that we were unhappy with our decision to choose Joe. He is excellent and his work is amazing.
