The job Rosario Construction gets thanked for most is the basement. A family writing in September 2024 had an unfinished one turned into two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchenette; another homeowner had theirs remodeled in April 2025; a third, in November 2025, said Jose put together a payment plan that adjusted to what they could manage. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active on the state registry. Jose is the name in nearly every review — the one who comes out to look at the job, and the one customers thank at the end. The business works out of Lawrence and says on its Angi profile that it has eleven years of experience and offers free estimates, warranties and emergency service, though that profile is new and carries no ratings there yet. On Google it averages 4.8 across 59 ratings. A good share of the work arrives through restoration companies and insurers. After ice dams leaked into a kitchen and bathroom in February 2026, ServPro pointed the homeowners to Rosario, and a crew was on the roof clearing snow and ice the same day. A 2023 customer met them as ServPro of Derry's subcontractor and said the abatement crew was in and out in one day. In a 2021 review, a landlord had water damage repaired in an apartment and said the company helped with the insurance claim. Smaller remodels run alongside: a bathroom quoted and started the same week in October 2025, a kitchen salvaged in 2022 after a big-box remodel left it worse than before. One thing customers should look at before signing. The Better Business Bureau grades Rosario's Construction Services an F, and says the grade is for failing to respond to two complaints filed against the business; it is not accredited there and the page publishes no customer reviews. That sits a long way from the 4.8 on Google. For a basement build-out, a bathroom, or storm damage an insurer is covering, this is a small outfit that quotes fast and keeps Jose on the job from estimate to punch list. Ask what the two BBB complaints were about and how they ended, and get the payment schedule and milestones written into the contract before demolition starts.
On February we experienced ice dams which led to leaking in our kitchen and bathroom. We called ServPro who recommended Rosario Construction for removal of the snow and ice on our roof. Jose responded very quickly and had his team come out the same day to take care of it. The next day we asked them to install a tarp. Again, they came out the same day and worked in the dark to get the tarp on before it snowed the next day. I would highly recommend Rosario Construction!
We hired Rosario construction to remodel our daughters new home, and the results were great. He managed to stay on schedule even when the building permit took forever (Not their fault, just the city). Thank you Jose for helping us create a beautiful space for our daughter.
Jose and his guys did a great job doing my basement. I would recommend 10/10. He provided a payment plan that adjusted to my needs
Jose was very polite, professional and very upfront on how long the job would take and cost . Amazing service called and the same day he came out gave estimate and started my bathroom project very quickly His team did a great job. They went out of their way to explain what they were doing each step of the way . Highly recommend them and will hire them again.
Great work and communication. Went above and beyond to make sure the job was done right and will be a repeat customer in a few years for our next project.
