Michael-Angelo’s Home Improvement Service’s

Michael-Angelo's Home Improvement, run by Juan out of Danvers, has a short review history that reads two very different ways depending on which account you land on. On one side, a 2024 reviewer called it the best contractor they'd worked with in years — respectful, high-quality work, flexible on price, with project manager Miranda singled out for praise. Another 2024 review describes a full bathroom remodel finished on the promised timeline, with the customer pleased with the results. On the other side, a separate 2024 review alleges no-shows, poor-quality work, property damage, and a threatened lien after the job was left uncompleted. An older 2022 review is more severe still: the customer says they paid $11,000 for porch work that was never finished and that damaged their existing porch, calling the contractor a thief. Public permit records show three building permits filed in Boston since 2023, all closed — the only third-party record here beyond the reviews themselves. Given how far apart these accounts sit, get a detailed written contract, a payment schedule tied to completed work, and references before handing over any deposit.
