Reviews of local pros in Wakefield, Massachusetts

They are a very professional construction company, that works efficiently, keeps a clean worksite and is respectful of the neighboring property. I highly recommend them.

Had a horrible experience with this team. They were recommended to me so I didn't do much research and that was my mistake.

In 2020 there was a weather event that resulted in some damage to my home. I contracted XL Construction in 2020 to repair the damages. They did a poor job here: while changing my part of the roof they made an executive decision to use a different color roof for the repair, the trims they installed were misaligned, they left gaps in the trim, and lastly, I had to call them back to fix the fence that was incorrectly installed.

After finishing the horrible job that they did they then independently reached out to my insurance without informing me in 2021 and opened up another claim. They then only informed me when the insurance made the check out to me. The additional claim has left a negative mark on my insurance history and makes it difficult to now get insurance for my new home.

Overall, this company is extremely untrustworthy, and sloppy in their approach and you should avoid them at all costs.

2025 Update: They also fixed my wall but left wires in the socket open. This later led to the electricals shorting in the house. I had to pay $1K+ for an electrician to fix the issues the mistakes they made. This was for the home on Rexford Street in Mattapan.

After a devastating fire in our Lexington home of 48 years, Bill and I began the long and emotional journey of rebuilding. It took nearly six months before contractors could even assess the damage, and we knew the process ahead would be challenging and uncertain. More than anything, we needed to find someone we could trust — someone who would treat our home with care and respect.
We met Jason Berroa of XL Construction through a referral from our public adjuster, and from the very first meeting, we knew he was different. Among the several fire restoration contractors we interviewed, Jason stood out immediately for his optimism, professionalism, and steady confidence. Every concern we voiced, he approached with creativity and reassurance — always asking, “How can we solve this?” rather than focusing on obstacles.
Throughout the rebuild, Jason proved himself to be an exceptional communicator and partner. He returned every call, text, and email promptly and treated us with genuine kindness. His positive energy carried through to everyone on his team — each person who came into our home was courteous, hardworking, and respectful. Jason’s bilingual communication also ensured that nothing was lost in translation, which made the process remarkably smooth.
Choosing XL Construction was the best decision we made. Our “new” home is absolutely beautiful — from the larger transformations, like our custom kitchen and bathrooms with imported tile, Tea-for-Two whirlpool, custom glass showers, and heated toilet seats, to the thoughtful touches like pocket doors, cedar closets, crown moldings, and a cozy little window seat. We now have a finished garage, which is a joy on snowy or rainy days, and a covered front porch that has become our favorite spot for morning coffee overlooking the garden. Jason even helped us future-proof our home with ADA-compliant doorways, zero thresholds, a 24/7 backup generator, and a heat-pump system that eliminated the need for fossil fuels.
Every detail reflects Jason’s commitment to quality and the craftsmanship of the XL Construction team. What began as one of the most difficult experiences of our lives ended as something truly beautiful. We are forever grateful to Jason and everyone at XL Construction for bringing our home and our hearts — back to life.

I had a wonderful experience with XL Construction on my first major home renovation in Lynn, MA. While I had managed a few smaller projects before, this one required a contractor with real expertise. I’ll admit, I was nervous about working with someone new who hadn’t been referred. Between family and friends giving their opinions and reading countless horror stories online about unreliable contractors, I felt overwhelmed. But sometimes you have to trust your intuition and I’m glad I did.

The Project Manager, Jason, was fantastic from day one. At our first meeting, he walked me through past projects, explained the renovation process step by step, and set clear expectations. When I was unsure about finishes and layout designs, Jason offered thoughtful suggestions on features that would add value to the home and even shared sketches and images to help me visualize. He was patient when I changed my mind or came up with new ideas, and his communication throughout the project was excellent.

Jason truly guided me through the entire renovation, making the process smoother and less stressful than I ever imagined. Over the years, I’ve recommended XL Construction to family, friends, and colleagues and now I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering a renovation.

We recently had interior painting done by Mike and his team. Mike was professional and easy to work with and his team was great! They were friendly and clean and got the job done quickly. We will definitely be using Mystic Painting in the future!

Just had Mike and the crew paint our kitchen:

Fair pricing
Hard working
Friendly

I was so satisfied with the professional, amazing job Mystic Painting did for me. They prepped every surface. Primed and painted. Cleaned up. End result was better then I hoped for.

Mike and his team did a great job on my house. They came on time, were very thorough, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone who wants top quality and good pricing!

Mike and his time work are great quality work
Definitely recommend best paint workers.

What a top notch job from Mike and his team!! There was never a mess when I got home and the quality was perfect. Great way to spruce up your house if you aren't ready for a remodel.

Mike and his colleagues are superb craftsmen and great people. The pride they take in every project is amazing.

Paint to match my downspouts perfectly to my house. Very professional. On time and even left me some paint left over in case we scratched them installing them. Definitely would use again. Thanks Michael!

Mystic painters are the best, very neat, no mess, accommodating and a true professional job, “spectacular”. They have done interior and exterior painting for us and we would not call anyone else!

I had Mystic Painting paint my entire home. They are very professional , clean ,polite and did exactly what they said they would. Since then I have referred them many time and will continue to do so.If anyone is looking for any kind of painting work, inside or outside ,call Mystic Panting.

If you are looking for attention to detail and people who care about YOUR project, Mystic is the company to call. One of their best qualities is that when they are finished and gone, you would never know they were there. Very neat, clean and conscientious about where they are and the job they are doing. Highly recommend.

Mike and his crew have made my house feel
like a home! Very professional, friendly and always goes above and beyond. I’ve hired them 3 times over the past few years and have been extremely happy with the results.

I haven't used Mike and his team, yet! But when it's time he's definitely the guy. All I hear are top level reviews about him and his team.

Mike's attention to detail and customer service are second to none. I had him work on my deck and we had him quote an interior job. If you are looking for someone with great knowledge of his craft and superior follow-through, Mike is your best choice.

Mike and his team at Mystic Painting just completed a fantastic exterior paint job at our home this week which we are very happy with ! - and the neighbors love it based on the many compliments received - their attention to detail and to our family needs was outstanding - it really shows - cannot wait to get them inside this winter for some interior work - HIGHLY recommended !!

Mike sanded and painted stairs, 11 doors, and casings and walls in my 103 year old home. This company is one of the good ones!

Mike and his team's attention to detail is second to none. The time they take to understand your vision, to properly prepare the room, and to see the job through to the finish is fantastic. Strongly recommend.
