Marcelino Restauration

Marcelino Restoration is a Somerville general contractor whose written reviews describe a run of full-scope home projects — the kind of work that touches multiple trades in a single job. In a review from May 2023, a homeowner described hiring Marcelino and his team to remodel a bathroom, update a kitchen countertop, add shelving, and finish a basement area, noting the work stayed on schedule and singling out the tile work. A March 2023 review told a similar story: a bathroom job with new tile, a new vanity and medicine cabinet, and plumbing and electrical work handled by subcontracted tradespeople, with the crew cleaning up after each day. The rest of the written record runs earlier, from 2019 to 2022, and covers a different mix of work: a shed demolished quickly and cleanly in a May 2022 review, five rooms and closets painted and old woodwork refinished in an October 2019 review that also mentioned bathroom tile repair and reasonable pricing, and a separate October 2019 review about exterior trim painting, where the homeowner noted Marcelino responded quickly and communicated well throughout. A June 2019 review is shorter — just praise for being helpful and knowing the work. Every review on file is five stars, with nothing negative to weigh against the praise, but the record itself is dated — nothing has been posted since May 2023. That's worth asking about directly: what the crew has been doing more recently, and whether the team that handled the 2023 bathroom and basement work is still in place. Somerville homeowners with a multi-trade job — a bathroom or basement needing tile, fixtures, and coordinated plumbing and electrical — are the clearest fit based on what's documented; painting and small demolition also show up in the record. Confirming current availability and seeing recent work firsthand is worth doing before booking, given the gap since the last written review.
