The Man Behind MGR
At MGR Special Projects, residential construction isn’t just our business—it’s our legacy. Founded on the principles passed down through generations, we take pride in building and renovating homes with integrity, precision, and a personal touch.
Growing up in New England, just outside of Boston, I learned the value of hard work and how nothing is given to you in life - you must earn it.
My passion and love for construction started at a very young age - at my childhood home doing projects with my father and grandfather. I remember growing up and following them around the house and yard, helping them do any kind of project that was needed - from framing and drywall inside to building retaining walls and decks outside. I loved learning from them.
My grandfather had many amazing beliefs he shared with me as I grew older - some of which were the power of a positive mental attitude (PMA), the power of mind over matter, and the power of hard work. He always used to say - “A job done well is a well done job.”
That saying remains at the heart of everything we do. From custom builds to full-scale renovations and thoughtful additions, we approach every project with hands-on expertise and a commitment to quality that goes beyond the blueprint. No shortcuts, no surprises—just honest work, clear communication, and exceptional results.
At MGR Special Projects, we don’t just build houses—we help bring your vision of home to life.
Let’s build something extraordinary together …
"A job done well is a well done job."
