Fourteen ratings on Thumbtack, a 4.9 average, and a Top Pro badge for 2024 — Mugo Construction is a small Winthrop carpentry outfit hired 18 times through that platform, with owner Edwin Munibe's name in nearly every review. The jobs customers describe are the punch-list kind. In 2024 reviews, homeowners wrote about front steps rebuilt, a kitchen cabinet and sink replaced, sheetrock holes patched around a bathroom fan, and a soffit framed to hide an exhaust hose. One July 2024 customer said Edwin came by the same day to price a shower-tile repair; another that August said he understood an urgent job that other contractors hadn't, and finished it quickly. The trade list matches that work: cabinetry, framing and finish carpentry, interior trim, decks and porches, and basement finishing, with free estimates and Spanish spoken according to its Angi page. Two things are worth pinning down before calling. The company's own account of how long it has been working doesn't line up — Thumbtack's overview says five years while the blurb on that same page claims more than eight, and Angi lists eight. And the written history is thin and dated: every review on file is from 2024 and all of it sits on one platform, with the Angi profile still carrying no reviews at all. For small carpentry and repair work around Winthrop, the 2024 reviews are consistent and specific about speed, communication and cleanup — a fair basis for a first call, not for a large project. Start by asking what he is taking on right now: Thumbtack currently shows him unavailable for basement finishing, so confirm the job you have in mind is one he is booking.
I can’t say enough great things about Edwin and his staff! They did an outstanding job redoing our front steps. They also replaced my kitchen cabinet and sink, and when Edwin discovered a plumbing issue during the job, he fixed it with great expertise. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment to getting everything just right was impressive. They kept me informed every step of the way, were prompt, and cleaned up thoroughly after the job. I highly recommend them and will definitely hire them again for future projects!
I had an urgent issue with a customer across the country and reached out to Edwin and his team at Mugo Construction. I contacted others for the job but they just did not understand what needed to be done. Edwin was very communicative and got the job done fast and professionally and my customer was 100% satisfied. I'd recommend Mugo Construction and will definitely use them again for any jobs in the Boston area.
Mugo Construction installed an AC unit for me. He was on-time, professional and very responsive. I will definitely use him again.
Edwin did a wonderful job fixing sheetrock holes around a fan in our bathroom ceiling, building a soffit to cover an exhaust hose, and hanging a new ceiling shower curtain rod. He was responsive, punctual and did a great job! Thank you very much.
Edwin was very quick to respond and follow up when I was unable to answer his call. He stopped by the same day and provided a very reasonable response estimate for repairing tiles in an existing shower. My husband decided to do the repair himself, otherwise we would have hired Edwin.
