Juven’s construction

Juven's Construction is a mason, and the jobs keep coming back to the same short list: front steps, patios, walkways, retaining walls, and the repointing that keeps all of it standing. It works out of Lynn as a two-person operation, six years in business by Thumbtack's count, where it holds Top Pro status for 2023 and 2024 and has been hired 67 times. The background check on that page is in the name Juventino Feliciano. The written history is unusually consistent for work this physical — 27 reviews across Google and Thumbtack from 2021 through 2026, 4.8 across Google's 24 ratings and 4.7 across Thumbtack's 51 — and two phrases keep surfacing: showed up on time, and cleaned up at the end of the day. The specifics carry it. A November 2025 review from a condominium association covered two separate jobs, a concrete step rebuilt and then the external foundation and basement repointed, and credited the crew with volunteering ways to keep water out of the basement rather than only doing what was asked. In a 2022 review a homeowner whose front wall had been destroyed by a car described it demolished and rebuilt along with the walkway. Another that year had a patio and fire-pit area built from a scribbled design, finished on time and on budget, with the mason driving out to collect the stone himself when the supplier ran late. Read the one complaint against all of that. In March 2026 a customer wrote that Juven came out, looked at the project, promised a quote and then went quiet — "full ghost-mode" — and was clear the objection was the silence, not the decline. It is a single account, and it cuts straight across what everyone else says about how fast he responds. Thumbtack's own distribution shows the same minority: 88% of its 51 ratings are five stars, but 8% sit at one or two. So the risk with this one is not the work, which is documented in unusual detail — it is getting in the door. If you call and hear nothing for a few days, treat that as the answer and move on. For steps, patios, walkways and wall work in and around Lynn, this belongs on a shortlist. For foundation repointing and basement water, the condominium job is the reference to ask about. Get the estimate in writing; several customers describe it arriving detailed and the same day.
