LVL Builders

Half of LVL Builders' Google reviews come from landlords and investors, and it shows in what the company gets hired for: a quick turn between tenants one month, a full renovation of a two-family the next. Tyler and Dio are the two names that keep coming up. The site says the business operates as Petrolini Home Improvement Inc., doing business as LVL Builders, with the two of them running the projects. Working out of Somerville, the company calls itself a licensed and insured general contractor across Greater Boston, concentrating on home renovations, ADU builds and conversions, and porch repair and rebuilds. Its stated service area runs through Somerville, Medford, Malden, Melrose, Arlington and Watertown. Thumbtack lists it at 13 years in business, with a Construction Supervisor licence for one- and two-family dwellings in Tyler Munroe's name and a passed background check. Porches are the most concrete thing customers describe. A March 2026 customer in Medford said a porch restoration went from permit to completion in under a month; another that month had a porch rebuilt and repaired in Somerville and said it finished on time and on budget. A February 2026 landlord used them for porch repair across several rental properties in Somerville and Medford. Three 2026 reviews land on the same point — the job came in on schedule and on budget. A May 2026 client put a new kitchen and bath into a Malden rental on what they called a tight timeline and a reasonable budget; an April 2026 porch customer in Medford added that the job site was kept clean and the communication was clear. The investor angle is not incidental. An April 2026 reviewer singled out that Tyler and Dio are investors themselves, so they think in terms of what is best for the owner; a February 2026 client said they got real before-and-after rental comps because the company has a broker in house. Another February 2026 homeowner was quoted on an ADU project in Melrose and called the price fair, though that build had not started when they wrote. If you own a rental in the Somerville–Medford corridor and need a porch rebuilt or a unit turned over, this is a natural fit. Get the scope and the schedule written into the contract — finishing on time and on budget is exactly what these clients describe, so hold them to it — and ask for the construction supervisor licence number before you sign.
