Retaining walls, stone steps, a pool patio finished in time for a kid's birthday — that's the work Marvin Construction's customers describe. The Marlborough company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #218070, is active on the state registry in the company's own name, and its Thumbtack profile says eight years in business with five employees. Six of their ten reviews come from customers who brought the crew back for more work. One homeowner, writing in 2023, said they first hired Marvin and his team in 2021 for a retaining wall and walkway, then used them for four more jobs, including stone steps in the backyard and door and window installation. Another 2023 customer listed a retaining wall, steps to the front door and new doors. In June 2023, a family described the crew working hard to get their pool patio done in time for their son's birthday, after two large projects together — the patio and fencing, and a walkway with retaining walls; that customer called Marvin timely and communicative. In May 2023, someone who had used him twice put it plainly: he does what he says he will, and he shows up when he says he will. A 2022 reviewer, two jobs in, called them an incredibly hard working family. The one out-of-area account is from June 2025, on a project in Hyde Park, New York. Marvin started there doing the plumbing, and the owners were confident enough in the work to put him in charge of the entire project. Worth sorting out before you call: which trade you are hiring. The HomeAdvisor profile advertises interior painting by room count and says the company is locally owned, with eight years of experience and service in Spanish, while the jobs customers actually write about are hardscape, masonry and doors and windows. The written reviews run from 2022 to 2025. For a retaining wall, a walkway, stone steps or a patio, this is a crew people call back for the next job. Ask which trades he is taking on now, and get the scope in writing for anything outside the stonework.
We had a project in Hyde Park New York and Marvin was doing the plumbing. He was doing such a good job and inspiring such confidence in his work (as well as his work ethic), that we decided to put him in charge of the entire project, which he completed in a timely and thorough manner, exceeding my expectations. I would recommend him to anyone basically for anything that you need done on your house, on the inside or out. He is a one man stop for getting the job done.
Highly recommended. Professional work. Definitely will hire for additional projects in the future. Thanks Marvin!!!
Excellent work. Marvin was pleasant to work with, going beyond the scope of each job to make the end result perfect. Have hired 2 times and will continue to do so.
Marvin has done wonderful work for us on many projects including a retaining wall, steps to the front door, and installing new doors. Would highly recommend his work to anyone!
I first had Marvin and his team contracted in 2021 for my retaining wall and walkway. He did an incredible job and I could not be happier! I have since hired him and his team for 4 other jobs, some stone steps in my backyard, door and window installation and am excited to be having them do my fence installation very soon. Marvin has been a very reliable and easy to work with guy for me and I would and DO RECOMMEND him to everyone I encounter who has work they need done.
