MARS Contracting is a Lynn-based remodeling company built around Sal and a small crew - Jorge, Edgar, and TJ come up by name across reviews - doing everything from small tile jobs to down-to-the-studs renovations. The company describes itself as growing out of cabinet-making roots, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active and state-verified; the Better Business Bureau grades it A+, though the two sources disagree on how long it's operated - the BBB profile lists 24 years, while the company's own website claims 30. All 13 reviews on file are five stars, though the most recent dates to October 2024 - the written record here is real but not current. Within that record, the range of work is wide: a complete down-to-the-studs condo renovation on Beacon Hill (one customer says they've since recommended the crew to eight neighbors), kitchen cabinets installed across 32 units in a new building on schedule, a living room rebuild that replaced three sliders and a front door with new Harvey windows and involved new walls and drywall, 30-year-old deck railings restored, and multiple projects - a bathroom remodel, exterior painting and repairs, then a new shingled roof - done for one repeat customer over time. Reviewers consistently describe Sal as accommodating on both schedule and budget, with crews that show up on time and clean up daily. One reviewer who runs a larger building specifically credits the crew with hitting a tight commercial-scale deadline. For a remodel of any size in the Lynn area, from a single room to a full renovation, this is a broad and consistently positive record - though it's worth confirming what the crew has been doing more recently, since nothing on file postdates late 2024.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with this team, and Jorge was an absolute perfectionist when it came to finishing our powder room and leveling our basement. They were easy to work with, very responsive, and everything was done to an absolute “t,” we couldn’t be happier with the results!! 10/10 would recommend.
MARS Contracting exceeded expectations for the small tile reflooring job I needed. They came in on time and budget, worked around a few challenges and came up with a very good result. I highly recommend MARS for small and I believe, larger construction jobs. We plan to call on them for our next project.
After owning my condo on Beacon Hill for 20 years, I decided to do a complete down to the studs renovation. MARS was recommended to me by a friend/neighbor who said they had a great experience with Sal and Edgar and their crew. I’ve recommended them to 8 people in my building. MARS is very professional, responsive and polite. I’d never done a renovation before and they educated me on the process as we worked together to make it all come together. They were patient with me when I had questions or wanted something changed and there was no mansplaining. Go into the experience knowing it’s a team effort and you have to be available to answer questions, make decisions. It’s how you’ll be happiest with the end result. My project was finished on time and on budget. There were no surprises because I was always kept informed. I had to move out of my unit and rented a place for three months and MARS was aware of my timeframe and we met the deadline no problem. If you don’t use MARS for your renovation. You’re crazy. They are the best. I hated to see them go. I wanted to find another project for them. Great team. I can’t say enough about them.
Sal and his crew replaced my 30 year old deck railings. They did a beautiful job bringing my deck back to life. The crew was punctual, respectful and cleaned up each day before they left the property. The job was estimated to last three days and in fact it did. I would definitely hire Mars Contracting , LLC in the future.
I used Mars Construction for a living room renovation last fall where I had 3 old sliders and a front door replaced with new Harvey windows and a slider ...new walls were erected and drywall installed and finally the room was painted ... the work was well done and the room came out beautifully ... Just this past May I had them come and paint my house and repair whatever damaged or rotted wood they found ... The work is impeccable, sanding and scraping, repaired rotted wood and painted the complete exterior. Their workers are polite and professional and very hard workers. They were on time and kept in touch with their timeline so I knew when to expect them and when not ... I woild highly recommend Mars Contracting ...
