Massbuild Contractors is a North Andover outfit run by owner Mike Mendes, offering painting, carpentry, remodeling, flooring, siding, drywall, decks, and stairs work across Massachusetts and New Hampshire. BBB gives the corporation an A+ grade; its file shows the entity incorporated in September 2023, about two years of operating history — worth noting since the company's own site claims 20 years in business, a gap the two records don't square. Most of the written record, running from January 2024 through mid-2025, describes clean, fast, well-priced work: a deck built to spec and called beautiful and sturdy, a condo renovation covering wall repairs, painting, and new baseboards that one customer said exceeded expectations, and a kitchen refresh where the crew was called polite, honest, and left the space spotless. Several reviewers single out Mike personally for fair quotes and attention to detail. That picture changed in a May 2026 review — the only one in the last six months, and the sole negative in the record. The customer describes two concurrent projects that both went sideways after the contract was signed: a timeline that wasn't kept, scope that shifted from what was agreed, repeated no-shows, a rushed attempt to finish everything in a single day, and communication described as a nightmare, with the delays pushing back other trades the homeowner had scheduled. Massbuild's earlier record reads well for smaller painting, carpentry, and finish work, but the most recent, most detailed account is a serious one about project management on a bigger job — worth asking about directly, and worth pinning down a firm written schedule before signing anything with more than one phase.
Beware. Everything seemed great up front until we signed the contract. Then, the attitude changed. We had two projects with him at the same time, and both went sideways. He didn't keep the timeline, switched up what he said he would do, and communication was a nightmare. He repeatedly no showed, and then tried to rush all work in one day, which even we knew wasn't possible or an industry standard. These delays and disregard for the schedule caused downstream delays in other services we had lined up. On one of the projects, he offered to paint (which we weren't ready to do) at no added cost if we supplied materials. We went and got everything, he threw on a coat of primer then left saying it wasn't in the contract so he didn't have to do it. Why offer and have us buy additional materials to not follow through? Finally, the work looked worse than DIY. Visible tape lines, tons of lumpy and bubbly joint compound in the corners. It has taken me months to write this review because the entire process was so incredibly stressful I didn't want to re-live it, but I do want to prevent others from going through the same.
I couldn’t be happier with the work they did on my deck! From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and incredibly skilled. They paid great attention to detail and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted. The final result looks beautiful and sturdy … it really elevated the whole space. I’ve already recommended them to friends, and they loved the results too. Highly recommend their services!
Everything on time and with quality.
I am very pleased by the work done by MassBuild contractor. Their attention to details of each work was excellent. They are professional in their approach n are quick to spot any defects! I would strongly recommend MassBuild for home improvement projects, Mike is a professional in any work that requires painting, installing new laminate flooring or repairs to an old or new house.
Mike did an excellent job in renovating our condo, fixing walls, painting, installing new baseboards. He is very professional, reasonable price and his work exceeds my expectations in terms of quality. He really went above and beyond, and I’m thrilled with the work.I’ll be using him for all my future projects and I highly recommend him
