Roof replacements and roof repairs make up much of the work customers hired MAC Exterior Solutions for, and several of those customers came back for more. The Lynn company, legally Mac Construction and Remodeling, Inc., does roofing, siding, windows, decks and gutters, and Joel Macario, its president per BBB, is the name many reviewers mention. It holds 5 stars from 25 ratings on Google and an A+ on BBB, where it has been accredited since 2017. In a September 2025 review, a customer said MAC did a 72-square roof the year before and came back for a 24-square barn roof, leaving the area cleaner than they found it. A May 2026 reviewer started with five basement casement windows, then hired MAC to reside a 125-year-old home, and said Joel kept them informed of extra work the crew found. An October 2025 customer said they had used MAC for exterior work since 2014. In a November 2024 review, Joel came out a couple of days after the call to diagnose a leak, one crew repaired the flashing around a vent pipe and another came back for the drywall ceiling. A January 2023 customer said a roof, dormer, siding and window job ran longer than expected because of the weather, and that a bit more communication about when crews were coming would have been ideal. The May 2026 residing job also took longer than that customer expected, because of structural issues found early on. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #185639, is active on the state registry. Joel Macario's construction supervisor licence, CS-110219, is also active on the state registry. The company's site cites GAF roofing certification.
“You can call MAC Exterior Solutions they work on solar and know how to remove and reconnect the panels. The owner is Joel and his number is +1 (781) 953-2592. They are great.”
Very helpful and very reasonable!!
We hired MAC Exterior Solutions to install 5 basement casement windows. Joel's years in business and previous rating were important to us. We were happy with their window installation, so we requested a quote to reside our 125 yr old home. Owner, Joel worked closely with us thru out the residing job and always ensured we were informed of additional work that crew noticed was needed, we were always given option of how to proceed. He reminded us often that our happiness was the important and it was up to us regarding any changes. Job took longer than we thought due to structural issues discovered early on but ultimately, it looks better than we imagined. It was our pleasure to work with Joel and meet his dedicated work crew. They showed up on time, worked long days, clean up after every shift and were respectful to us and our property. Most importantly, their workmanship was superior. We have hired other contractors previously for other large jobs however we honestly believe MAC is better than any of them.
I've had MAC at my house for three different projects and they have done excellent work every single time. I'm always so impressed by the crews work ethic and professionalism! I highly recommend Joel and his crew at MAC for all your exterior needs.
Outstanding customer experience all around. Joel is respectful, experienced, and highly skilled. He presented us with several options on a multi-layered project, and was patient as we worked through our own process. MAC's reputation for fairness and quality work is well deserved.
Joel and Abraham are truly amazing 👏 with their help. Amazing customer service skills on solving problems big or small . An awesome peace of mind life savers .
