MBO Construction

MBO Construction is Mike O'Sullivan's small construction outfit, based in East Walpole, MA, though the same owner turns up under close variants of the name — MBO Contractors Inc in Foxboro, MBO Construction in Boston. BBB lists the trade as commercial construction: roofing, siding, and renovating commercial buildings; Thumbtack and Yelp show him personally handling kitchen and basement jobs for homeowners too. The reviews split hard depending on where you look. On Yelp, someone who hired 'Mike and MBO' for a full kitchen renovation called the demo and removal clean and orderly, part of a 4-out-of-5 average across eight ratings there. Thumbtack shows a 5.0 across two reviews and a passed background check tied to a verified Massachusetts Construction Supervisor License. But BBB's own page carries a visible review warning people not to hire the business, and a separate account describes a basement job that was supposed to wrap in 30 days stretching toward three months, with the contractor allegedly disappearing once most of the payment was in hand and the finished work falling short. Nothing here documents actual flooring installation specifically — the jobs described are kitchens, basements, roofing, and siding — so confirm directly that floor work is something this crew handles before hiring for that. The paperwork doesn't line up either: Thumbtack lists one year in business, BBB says the company opened in 2017 — nine years. Given a clean recent Thumbtack record sitting next to a serious BBB complaint and a similar stalled-job account elsewhere, this is a case for checking references from a comparable, recent job and getting clear terms on payment timing before any large deposit changes hands.
