Olive Tree Construction is a Lynn-based general contractor built around one person: John Oliveira, who reviewers across multiple platforms credit personally for the craftsmanship, communication, and problem-solving on their jobs. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and BBB gives the company an A+ accredited rating. The reviews describe real, varied scope: a basement renovation that touched framing, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, painting, and a custom teak-and-cherry wood bar, finished on time and on budget with daily communication and a clean site at the end of each day; a small, oddly-configured bathroom remodel where John brought creative design options rather than a single fixed plan; and a half-bath that covered windows, painting, and framing. One landlord has used him for renovations across a real estate rental portfolio since 2008, calling him even-tempered, honest, and straightforward — the kind of relationship that speaks to more than a single good job. A couple of loose threads are worth a quick question before hiring: BuildZoom's directory listing names the owner as Edward Clark rather than John Oliveira, and sources disagree on how long the company has been around — BBB says 24 years, an older web listing said 14-plus, and the company's own website says 10-plus years of experience. None of that shows up as a complaint about the work itself, but it's worth a direct question about who you'll actually be dealing with and how long the current team has been operating. For a general renovation, bath remodel, or finish-carpentry project in the Lynn area, the record here — while not large — is consistently detailed and positive.
If you're considering a contractor for your next home project, look no further than John Oliveira. We hired John for a challenging bathroom remodel, and the results exceeded our expectations. The space was small and oddly configured, but John brought an impressive array of creative solutions to the table, ultimately helping us choose the perfect design. Throughout the entire process, he kept us informed, ensuring our needs and preferences were always the priority. His problem-solving skills are unparalleled, and his craftsmanship is both meticulous and professional. John completed the project on schedule without compromising on quality. Without a doubt, I'll be turning to John Oliveira for all my future projects. I can't recommend him highly enough!
We highly recommend Olive Tree Construction. They recently renovated our basement on time and on budget. The project included framing, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, painting, and high-end finished carpentry work on our custom teak/cherry wood bar. Olive Tree Construction always arrive on time, ready to work. They work efficiently throughout the day, communicate daily objectives, and leave the job site clean and ready for the next day. Olive Tree Construction is dependable and thorough. Our project had a few challenges and they worked diligently to find solutions. They provide excellent communication throughout the project. They are honest and thorough and a pleasure to work. We will absolutely hire Olive Tree Construction for all our future projects. FIVE STAR RATING.

John Oliveira has been doing construction and renovations for me in my real estate rental business since 2008. He is excellent to work with, Very even tempered, professional, and most important to me, honest and straightforward! You will not be disappointed choosing John and his team!
John is very conscientious. He explains what he is doing. If I have an idea and if it will not work he will suggest an alternative. If he can not do a certain part of the job, he will find someone comparable that will do it for you. He is coming back to do a third project for us!
