MLJ completed a major renovation on our house throughout the summer/fall of 2023 in Reading, MA. They completely remodeled our 1st floor – including moving the kitchen and a bathroom – and created an addition on the 2nd floor with a brand new bathroom. We love the project and are thrilled with the work that they did. They have even returned to the house since the project’s completion to resolve a couple of minor issues. One of the reasons that we chose to work with MLJ was because from the very 1st consult/site visit, Julliana & Lourenco brought their expertise and insight making suggestions that were creative and insightful. Several of these suggestions we ultimately did utilize in the project. They made it clear that they were willing to take the renovation in any direction we wanted and were always able to find solutions to the ideas we presented and for the problems that presented themselves. Their pricing was clear and inclusive (it was also one of the least expense quotes we got!) and even though there aspects of the renovation that ended up being more costly than either of us had anticipated, MLJ did not pass those costs on to us. Unbelievably for a project of this scale, our final cost was exactly what they quoted. Everyone working for MLJ is a craftsman and a professional. Their team knows how to work quickly and efficiently and are always willing to take suggestions/instructions and accommodate. Because of an issue that stemmed from permitting, our project got off to a late start and we had to move back into the house before it was complete. MLJ accommodated us, spending extra time cleaning each day before they left and adjusted the sequence of where they were working so that we could have living space in the house when we needed it. I don’t think that many other companies would have done this as completely. As with any new business working in new towns and on larger projects, there were some hiccups along the way. For example, the permitting process was slow and challenging. But, I believe that our project forced MLJ to adapt and I doubt that there will be issues in the future on other projects. They have better partners now and I know that they have efficiently obtained other permits in Reading since our experience. MLJ is a great company for anyone looking for a partner in their next home project or renovation and I strongly recommend them as a contractor. We were very involved throughout the process making decisions and purchases and directing workflow and details – and they were willing to work with us in that way. I also have no doubt that they could take your project from start to finish in a more inclusive way if that is the type of project you are looking for.

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with MLJ Contractors! They worked very closely with us from the beginning of our patio project (initial design, permit procurement, scheduling, determining costs, etc.), to finish (final details, working with town inspector, cleanup, etc.). Julianna and her assistant Bianca, were a pleasure to work with, communicating with us on a regular basis, keeping us updated on progress, and answering all of or questions promptly. Laurenco, the project foreman, was extremely approachable and did a great job keeping his team on task, and on schedule, throughout the project. The gentlemen that did the actual work are true craftsmen! The overall quality of their work is of the highest quality, right down to the smallest details. I look forward to working with Julianna and her crew again in the future for other home improvement projects. A+++

Right from the start they promptly came to meet with us and not only understood our vision but executed it just as we had hoped and then some. The photos speak for themselves.

We had a great experience working with MLJ General Contractors. The project manager and all workers were very professional and responsive to our ideas and needs when designing and completing our project. We appreciate their work and guidance through the licensing process, which would have taken much longer without them! At every turn we were told, “Tell us how you want it.” That was the best thing to hear. Communication was good, the work was done in a timely manner and we are very satisfied with the final product.

I’m thrilled to give MLJ General Contractor a glowing 5-star review! Elison’s expertise and guidance throughout the remodeling process were truly invaluable. Not only did they exceed our expectations in terms of both price and quality, but their attention to detail and commitment to excellence transformed our 1900 bathroom into a breathtaking 5-star resort-quality oasis. My wife and I are absolutely in love with the stunning bathroom they’ve created within our master bedroom. MLJ General Contractor’s exceptional work has added immeasurable value and comfort to our home. We’re beyond grateful for their exceptional craftsmanship and the remarkable transformation they’ve achieved. Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-notch remodeling services!

MLJ was a pleasure to work with. They got the job done when another contractor could not. Juliana was always responsive and typically easy to get a hold of. One part of our experience that could have gone smoother was obtaining permits. Some miscommunication slowed things down. Other than that, our experience was as good as we could have asked for. If you are contemplating working with MLJ and another contractor, choose MLJ, They won’t let you down and will see your project through.
