MARINI CONSTRUCTION COMPANY

Marini Construction Company is a Weymouth, MA outfit that says it covers general contracting and remodeling work across the South Shore — kitchens, bathrooms, additions, roofing, windows, fencing, and painting, by its own Houzz listing. The only written record on file is Houzz, and it isn't encouraging: two ratings, both one star. In a 2022 review, a customer said the company took a deposit and never came back to do the work, then went silent on calls, texts, and emails. In an earlier 2016 review, a customer described a different pattern — Dan, the owner, allegedly re-invoiced for work already paid for on three separate occasions, ran well past the timeline he'd agreed to, and wanted an additional fee to fix a basement leak caused by a subcontractor he'd hired. There's no license verification, BBB record, or third-party mention on file to weigh against that — just these two accounts, six years apart, describing the same basic pattern: money changing hands with little to show for it. Anyone considering them should ask for references from recent, completed jobs and get billing terms in writing before any deposit changes hands.
