# Trademark Services LLC

**Trade:** General Contractor / Remodeling · **Address:** 256A Edgartown-Vineyard Haven Rd, Edgartown, MA 02539 · **Phone:** (508) 939-4524 · **Website:** http://tsllcmv.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 3.2/5** (low confidence) — from 0 reviews across 4 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.

## The honest read

Trademark Services is a small Martha's Vineyard construction firm — three employees, owner Mark Nicotera, started in 2017 per its BBB file — whose public record is unusual for a builder this size: it is written mostly in town-meeting minutes and local newspapers rather than customer reviews.

Edgartown has trusted it with real work. In 2017 the town awarded it the $249,000 restoration of Memorial Wharf — an award a competing bidder took the town to court over — and in 2018 selectmen approved its $1.8 million bid to renovate the Yellow House on Main Street into retail shops and apartments, with a 30-year lease going to Nicotera. A roofing-manufacturer project write-up describes the firm as a full-service contractor serving businesses and residences across the Vineyard.

Its BBB grade is A+ with zero complaints on file, though it is not accredited and publishes no customer reviews anywhere — so there are no homeowner accounts of what it's like to hire them. The paperwork is also a little tangled: the BBB lists an alternate name (M V A H L LLC), the company's own site operates as TSMV LLC out of Edgartown, and news coverage places it in Vineyard Haven.

A reasonable call for substantial building and renovation work on the Vineyard, with municipal vetting standing in for reviews — ask directly for recent private-client references and confirm which entity name goes on the contract.

**Strengths:**
- Municipal track record — Edgartown chose it for the wharf and Yellow House projects
- Clean BBB file — A+ grade with zero complaints

**Where sources disagree:**
- Sources differ on the operating identity and base: BBB lists alternate name M V A H L LLC in Edgartown, the company site operates as TSMV LLC, and news coverage calls it a Vineyard Haven company.
