Monaco Johnson Group is a design-build renovation contractor based in Salem/Marblehead, run by owner Chris Monaco as a father-and-son operation with about four employees since 2008. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and the Better Business Bureau gives it an A+ rating. Houzz lists the company with a Houzz Award, a Houzz Badge, a Silver LEED Certification, and a 2004 BSA (Boston Society of Architects) Award for Design Excellence. There's only one detailed customer account on file. In a 2024 review, a homeowner described commissioning the company in the summer of 2021 to fully demolish and remodel an inherited, outdated kitchen, calling the father-and-son team true artisans of home remodeling with a high level of expertise across the specialists they bring in. With just one detailed review available, the design credentials and active licensing are reassuring, but it's worth asking for a few more recent project references before committing to a larger renovation.
Father and son head a range of specialists within all that is needed in home renovation. They bring a high level of expertise as true artisans of home remodeling! In the summer of 2021, we had our inherited gloomy kitchen totally demolished, and commissioned this construction group to capture a new vision of what a limited dimension-sized kitchen could become. With the assistance of an exceptional Cabinet Maker, they went to work eliminating a poorly located closet, and created a large open portal to the dining area. Several new additions of receding ceiling lights were mounted along with an exciting decorative splash-wall. A contemporary range hood was installed over a professional gourmet range with robust output. A neglected "breakfast-nook" of sorts was given earthy reddish-brown faux pub-brick to the surrounding walls to create a cozy intimacy for morning coffee! Lush Italian porcelain tile was applied to the kitchen flooring with a butcher-block placed dead center. When completed, the new kitchen was transformed to a welcomed refuge for family and friends. Our investment in the Monaco Johnson Group was well rewarded!
