Mother Construction Corp. takes on whole-home work, kitchens, bathrooms, basements and additions from its Beverly base, with Lori Bovarnick named as president on the BBB profile. A 2022 Houzz customer described a finished basement and master bathroom as very nice, while another 2022 account described months of silence after a deposit, staff turnover and project problems. The positive accounts have specifics: a 2022 kitchen customer praised weekly progress meetings and responsiveness, and a 2019 Angi reviewer said a gutted bathroom was completed on time with dust contained and the site left clean. The negative Houzz account alleges missing materials, misplaced permits and an appliance substituted without consent; the company’s public reply attributed the problems to the pandemic and the great resignation. The Massachusetts HIC registration 200009 is registry-verified revoked. BuildZoom also lists an inactive/cancelled record for that number and an unverified Newton licence whose last verified expiration was January 2023. BBB lists a separate licence number, so confirm the current registration directly before any contract. Mother Construction is best considered for a renovation whose scope, project manager and permit responsibilities are documented in writing. Ask for current references, a payment-and-change-order schedule and proof of an active registration before booking.
Mother construction finished my basement, and master bathroom. The end result was very nice, and we are happy with the way everything looks.
While others may have a good experience we were stuck with an incredibly incompetant team and were ignored for months after giving a significant deposit. We also continually got different team members suddenly because of high turnover rates within the company and had to re-explain our entire project to each new designer or project manager as there seems to be no internal communication. On top of this we had a hard time getting any answers from the mother construction employees without numerous calls and emails. The design team barely did anything I was never given a drawing or visual representation of how all the appliances fixtures etc would look together and wasn't even given real samples of anything to choose from. The multiple project managers we had delayed our project numerous times due to not having materials on-site for the contractors, ordering the wrong supplies, or misplacing permits for inspection. They even changed one of the appliances we chose to order without discussing with us. Throughout the project we did not have all the materials to complete the work and were constantly waiting on things to be delivered so the contractors could continue. This was incredibly dissappointing since the woman who sold us this job insisted demo wouldn't begin without having all supplies ready. Im sure there are some good people who work here but our expierence was horrible and I will not be taking a gamble with this company again. A huge waste of money and time just book directly through a contractor
I love Lori and team and I am so happy with my Kitchen Renovation. Mother Construction was very responsive and we had weekly progress meetings which was wonderful and kept us in tune with the project the entire time. Highly recommended!
Lori's crew was friendly and efficient. They did an amazing job! At the end of the job, they left everything so clean. The whole bathroom had to be gutted and they contained the dust and mess. Texts were quickly answered. Everything was completed within the time frame Lori had estimated. Very pleased and would recommend her to anyone.
Lori's very well connected and could promptly get the correct contractors she needed for the work that needed to be done, she was very creative with the ideas that she had presented to me. She was professional and courteous
