Macco Construction

Macco Construction is a locally owned residential construction company at 16 Virginia Street in Dorchester, run by owner Mark Cabral, who the company says has been at it for 34 years. Its website lists remodeling, framing, windows, demolition, accessory dwelling units and new construction, a service area running from Boston's neighborhoods out to Brookline, Newton, Weston, Westwood, Hingham and Hanover, and an Andersen Renewal partnership. The company's Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration, number 160238, is registry-verified active under Macco Construction Corp. The two Google reviews on file, both from 2026, are detailed and specific. In April, the owner of a large early-1900s Victorian wrote that Mark and his team had worked on the house over five years, replacing a tricky roof, rebuilding all the porch columns and bases, and painting, and said they could not be happier. In February, another customer said Mark took the time to walk through how the whole project would go from start to finish, that the result came out better than expected, and that Jen in the office was helpful from the first phone call. Google's average is 5 stars from 2 ratings. One agency action sits on the public record: Good Jobs First's Violation Tracker lists a $5,280 penalty against Macco Construction Corp. dated November 2, 2012, for a workplace safety or health violation. The listing gives the amount and category only; it says nothing about the site or what was corrected. For an older Boston-area house needing carpentry-heavy exterior work, porch rebuilds, framing or window replacement, this is a long-tenured, state-registered contractor whose few reviewers describe multi-year relationships and clear communication. Worth confirming the HIC registration against the state registry, asking about current jobsite safety practices given the 2012 citation, and asking for references beyond the two public reviews.
