Miano Construction Corporation

Miano Construction is a Danvers general contractor that describes itself, on its own site, as a construction management firm built around commercial fit-outs — retail stores, restaurants, hotels, and corporate offices — rather than typical household repair work. The company says Max Gouveia founded it in 2006, and the site's contact details still point to him today; work is described as running from early planning through closeout on jobs nationwide. The public track record for hiring them is thin. Google shows only a couple of five-star ratings, and the latest one, from this past February, praises an employee named Jonathan for his energy and customer service, saying flatly, 'I can't complain not one bit.' A 91 BuildZoom score and a Danvers Chamber of Commerce membership round out a corroborating but shallow picture — none of it reflects many independent hires. Worth asking about before booking: the Better Business Bureau lists Miano as not accredited and says it doesn't have enough information to issue a rating, and its BBB file dates the business to 2011 — five years later than the founding date the company gives on its own site. BBB also files the company under 'Civil Engineer' rather than general contractor, which doesn't match how the company or other directories describe its work. Given how much of its own material is about retail, hotel, and office jobs, a homeowner considering Miano for house-scale work should ask directly whether residential remodeling is still something they take on, and ask for references from an actual home job rather than assuming the commercial background carries over.
