Mariner Construction LLC

Mariner Construction is Joe Maletti's general contracting business, working out of Acton, Massachusetts. Joe started the company after years in marine construction to pursue home renovation and construction work, and reviews describe him personally — showing up, communicating, and following through. Bathroom and shower work anchors the reviews. In a March 2026 review, a homeowner says "top-notch subs" handled the tiling and glass on a new bathroom build. An April 2025 review describes gutting and rebuilding two showers in a 200-year-old house, and a March 2025 review covers a full remodel of an existing bathroom. In a February 2026 review, a customer credits Joe with spending months fighting an insurance company for a fair claim after a burst pipe flooded their bathroom. On Google, 14 ratings average 4.7, and several homeowners say they've hired him more than once — a March 2025 review counts four separate projects with one family, from a window replacement to a mudroom build to a new front porch, calling the pricing fair each time. Not every account is glowing. In a 2023 review, a homeowner describes agreeing to a job, then waiting months with materials sitting in their living room while calls went unreturned — they eventually hired someone else. It's the one clear miss in an otherwise steady run of work from 2023 onward, alongside an earlier stretch of praise on Houzz and Angi in 2017 that describes the same things reviewers say now: professional, on time, reasonable. The state's home improvement contractor registry lists Mariner Construction's registration as active. Beyond bathroom and shower work, the company's own site and directory listings put it in general remodeling territory — additions, decks, basements, kitchens — and Angi and HomeAdvisor separately list flooring and painting as services, though no specific review describes either. For a bathroom or shower rebuild, or a renovation where you want one person managing the whole project, these reviews point to someone who follows through and keeps in touch along the way. Given the 2023 complaint, it's worth asking about the current schedule and getting a firm timeline in writing before materials show up at your door.
