Renovations by James Martel is a Plainville, MA renovation and general-contracting business, in business 41 years according to its Better Business Bureau profile. It takes on kitchen and bath remodels, structural and water-damage repairs, electrical and plumbing work, window replacement, and handyman jobs for residential and commercial customers. A detailed 2024 review describes a first-floor kitchen and bathroom renovation in North Attleboro: rotted plywood sheathing had to come out before the finish work could start, along with a full rewire and a full replumb. An older 2014 review describes a deck repair in Attleboro, resetting posts that a prior install had left wrong for 14 years, and a shorter review credits the crew with replacing windows, fixing rotted trim, and leveling a deck and a shed. Its Better Business Bureau profile carries an A+ letter grade (the business is not BBB-accredited), and Houzz lists a construction-supervisor licence number for the company, CS 068562. This is a fit for a homeowner tackling an older house where one job tends to uncover another — a rotted subfloor behind a bathroom wall, wiring that needs updating along with a kitchen — since both detailed reviews describe exactly that kind of mid-project discovery being handled as part of the job.

James and his son Jimmy did a woderful job renovating my first floor kitchen and bathroom in North Attleboro. They had to start by replacing rotted plywood sheathing before even getting to the kitchen/bath work. Electrical wiring had to be completely removed and replaced and plumbing had to be rerouted, so it was an extensive renovation. James has a team of subcontractors to handle plumbing, electrical, plaster, and tile. He is a one-stop shop. James was very communicative during the process to ensure he understood what I wanted. He arrived early every morning, and we discussed the work being done that day. I then went to work, returning at day's end to find the job done exactly as we discussed that morning. I plan to have James and Jimmy work on a few more items for me, and I would recommend them to anyone seeking a renovation contractor.
Deck repair in Attleboro. Replaced all posts correctly and also attached the deck to the house like it should have been done 14yrs ago! Thank you James for a great job!
If you want expertise and quality work done right the first time call James. You will be happy you did.
Prompt, professional, fast. I have struggled with finding someone I could trust to work on our house, but not any more!
I had James and his son replace some windows, fix some rotted trim, level a deck and a shed. All the work was outstanding.
