Highlights
- Repeat customers — a reviewer says they've hired the crew more than once
- Full bathroom renovations — one homeowner details gutting two bathrooms
- Active state license — Massachusetts HIC registration verified current
- Consistent ratings — 22 reviews across five sources skew positive
- No Houzz reviews — the profile is active but has never been rated there
- Conflicting experience claims — directories cite anywhere from 4 to 25 years
- Two license numbers — Houzz cites CS-104053, distinct from the verified HIC number
Ask two directories how long Joe Marmai Building, Remodeling & Restoration has been operating and you'll get two different answers — about four years from one, twenty-five from another. What is consistent is the description of the work itself: on its own LinkedIn page, the company describes itself as a building, remodeling, and restoration outfit on the South Shore, running the gamut from custom-built homes down to small additions, out of Hanover. Where the story holds together is in how people rate the work. Twenty-two reviews collected since 2023 across five different sites skew overwhelmingly positive, and Google's own count — 28 ratings — averages a flat five stars. That kind of consistency spread across multiple independent platforms, rather than one glowing outlier, carries more weight than any single review could. Its Houzz profile checks out on the basics — the same phone number and Hanover address — and lists a construction-supervisor license, CS-104053, but that profile has never drawn a single review, so it isn't much use for a second opinion. That number is also separate from the one Massachusetts actually verifies: the state lists the company's Home Improvement Contractor registration, 179198, as active, which is the number worth confirming yourself. Put together, an active state license and a rating pattern that holds up across several independent sites make for a reasonable paper trail on a remodeling or restoration job. Given how thin the specifics are outside of the star ratings, it's still worth asking Joe directly for a couple of recent references and a straight answer on how long the business has actually been running.

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!

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.
