New owners of a house with structural damage in the attached garage — known about, but nobody could say how far it went — had Manh on site and an estimate in hand the same day, with the scope spelled out. That was June 2026, and it is what customers describe over and over: they turn up, they look properly, and someone tells you what it will actually take. Mavy Home Improvement is a small Boston company built around two people customers name constantly — Marvin, also called Manh, on site, and Ivy handling estimates and scheduling — with Tom working alongside them. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 210776, is active on the state registry. The Better Business Bureau grades the company A+ and lists it as starting in March 2020. It works Boston and the towns around it, from Quincy and Braintree to Newton, Cambridge and Brookline. The jobs run from a whole floor to a door sweep. In April 2026 one customer had the entire upper floor of an older house renovated after interviewing several contractors first. Another that month had an attic turned into a bedroom, office and bathroom, with repairs on two floors and a basement partition wall brought up to code. In January 2026 the crew swapped double pocket doors for a standard door and matched the existing trim and colour closely enough that the owner said you cannot tell the difference. A customer in October 2024 listed a kitchen faucet, a ceiling fan, a dryer duct and vent, door sweeps and a loose drain pipe — all the small stuff, from the same two guys. Bathrooms and kitchens come up most. Two condo bathrooms in May 2025, where the customer said Marvin fixed a few things he did not have to. A guest bathroom in July 2025, where the crew flagged problems the original builder had left behind. A kitchen renovation in November 2024 that landed inside both the timeframe and the budget. And people come back: one customer returned after a few years for an interior and bathroom renovation in June 2026, and another who had had a deck built and doors replaced hired them again for kitchen and bathroom work in November 2025. They also find what others missed. A customer in March 2023 called them for deck repair after a home inspection and said Marvin turned up issues the inspector had not. A Reddit commenter in a Quincy-area thread wrote in March 2025 that they replaced joist hangers and shored up a small staircase and porch, at fair prices and arriving when they said they would. One account runs straight against the rest. In August 2025 a customer wrote that communication was poor from beginning to end, that calls and emails went unanswered, and that the replies, when they came, were excuses. Communication is the single thing nearly everyone else praises, so settle who your point of contact is and how fast they answer once the job is running. For a bathroom or kitchen renovation, an attic conversion, or structural repairs on an older house, this is a small in-house team with an active registration and a long list of customers who hired them twice.

“They replaced some joist hangers and shored up a small staircase/porch for us. Quality work, responsive, fair pricing, and showed up when they said they would.”
I contacted Mavy team again after a few years for my interior renovation and a bathroom renovation. The team is still professional and clear communication. As always, they kept the work area clean throughout the entire project. They paid attention to details and made sure everything was done right instead of rushing the job. Based on my experience, I would confidently recommend Mavy Home Improvement to anyone looking for a reliable contractor. We are still very happy with the results and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again. I found Mavy Home Improvement and decided to contact them. They responded very quickly. After couple of emails providing info and photos of the projects I needed to get done. They were able to provide the quote in just a day. I hired them for a furniture assembly, fix a hole on my wall, as well as re-caulking my bathtub. Their price is a little bit high but they did a fantastic work, clean, and showed up on time. Will hire them again for future repairs.
We recently purchased a home with known structural damage to our attached garage, however unknown extensiveness of the problem. Manh (Marvin) from Mavy came out to the site promptly and gave us an estimate within the day with detailed explanation about the process and scope of work. The damage turned out to be more than 5 times its size once the demolition began, therefore turned into a big project requiring building permit, structural engineer assessments, etc which is more stressful than we could imagine. Manh made the process as seamless as it could be, connecting us with the right people and took care of all the background work so we can get it done quickly, on top of that not charging us for the enormous extra work. The labor and work process itself was a sight to be admired as we watch Manh and his team took his time, giving everything their full focus at any time as if it was their own home they are fixing. Every single work day the left the work site cleaner and tidier than it was before they started which frankly we have never seen before with any sorts of contractors. We have many friends and family in the general contractor business, but we would not hesitate for one second having Mavy take care of any future project for us or anyone we can recommend to. We are not sure if you can find anyone more affordable than Mavy, but we are sure you won't find anyone with the quality, ethics and dedication these guys have all around New England.
We did a complete renovation of whole upper floor and it was a definitely a challenge due to an older house we have. Mavy was able to conquer every single ones and complete the tasks that meet our 1000% satisfaction. I have interviewed a number of contractors before I hired Mavy and indeed he was the youngest. BUT he knows his stuff, no BS, no non-sense, no attitude. He has the quality that a professional contractor should have, unfortunately not easily found nowadays. His skills, knowledge, dedication and commitments are what you can hope for when you want your project to be done properly and with cares. His prices are great for what you get. Not the cheapest but you will get the quality work. It's totally worth it and good value.
I cannot recommend Marvin, Ivy, and their entire team highly enough. We recently hired them for an extensive project that involved a full attic remodel (bedroom, office, and bathroom), essential repairs on our first and second floors, and bringing basement partition wall up to code. From the start, Marvin impressed us with his professionalism and communication. He manages an excellent team that is not only skilled but extremely respectful. They truly treated our house as if it were their own, ensuring that everything was kept clean and that the work was done to the highest standard. There were more instances when additional problems were identified and his team was also prepared to help out. A huge part of why this project was successful was Ivy. Working with the City of Somerville for permits and inspections can be very difficult and stressful. Ivy was incredibly professional and responsive throughout the entire process. She helped us navigate the permitting hurdles and communicated with the city officials seamlessly, which saved us a massive amount of time and headache.
The Mavy team helped us replace double pocket doors into a regular door setup, with great attention to detail to match the existing trim and color. The team was very communicative and professional, and the work was very well done in a timely manner. We cannot tell the difference between the existing construction and the renovation thanks to the meticulous attention to finishing detail. During the work, the team made every effort to keep the work area clean, mitigating dust and vacuuming daily. We will definitely work with Mavy again for our next project.
