Joe Marmai Building, Remodeling & Restoration is a Hanover general contractor with 22 Google reviews, all five stars, describing work that spans bathrooms, additions, decks, porches and full-floor remodels. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor license is active. The bathroom projects get some of the most specific praise. One homeowner who'd gone 30-plus years without repairs described gutting a 1950s bathroom — tub, floors, plumbing, even a new water main — and coming away amazed at how quickly a modern walk-in shower and updated fixtures came together. Another, renovating a master bath in spring 2024, said Joe accommodated mid-project design changes without friction as the tub gave way to a walk-in shower. The rest of the record leans heavily on additions and outdoor living spaces: a double-decker three-season porch, a bedroom addition finished over four months with no rough patches reported, a screen porch built through the coldest weeks of winter and still delivered on budget and on time, and more than one deck rebuild that reviewers called their new favorite part of the house. A first-floor gut job that reworked the kitchen, living and dining areas together shows the crew handling larger-scope work, not just single rooms. A throughline across nearly all 22 reviews is responsiveness — homeowners repeatedly mention Joe answering questions promptly, flagging changes as they came up, and keeping them informed without being asked. Several say they've used him more than once, and one longtime local realtor said she refers him to buyers and sellers for repairs and additions. Joe Marmai reads as a strong general call for a homeowner planning a real renovation — a bathroom gut, an addition, a deck or porch — rather than a small one-off repair, given how consistently the reviews describe multi-week, multi-trade projects handled start to finish.

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.
