About MLA Contracting

The contractor who shows up

MLA Contracting is Juan Martinez and one local crew. The whole business runs on a simple promise: he arrives when he says he will, builds what he quoted, and leaves your home clean.

Meet the owner

One name on every job

Juan Martinez has run MLA Contracting since 2013, remodeling homes and businesses across Corpus Christi and surrounding areas. When you hire MLA, you are hiring Juan and the crew he works alongside, not a rotating cast of subcontractors you never meet.

Juan does the estimates himself, in person. He walks the space with you, talks through what the project actually needs, and puts the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. That is how you avoid the surprises that give remodeling a bad name.

He is licensed and pulls the permits the work calls for, so the job is done to code and inspected the right way. It is the same standard on a guest bath as it is on a full commercial buildout.

“Juan was great...if he said he was coming: he arrived & on time.”

Why homeowners call Juan back

Reliability is the whole pitch

Read enough of the reviews and they all say a version of the same four things. That consistency is the reason repeat customers keep hiring MLA for the next project.

01

Shows Up On Time

If Juan says he is coming, he is there, and on time. That alone puts MLA ahead of a lot of the trade.

02

Builds The Scope

You get the project you agreed to, priced up front. No mid-job surprises and no moving numbers.

03

Cleans Up

The site gets cleaned before the crew leaves. More than one review points out you would not know a repair had been made.

04

Keeps You Posted

You are kept in the loop from the first estimate to the final walkthrough, so you never have to chase him down.

Credentials

Local, licensed, and on the books

MLA Contracting is a Corpus Christi business, not a franchise crew passing through. Here is what stands behind the work.

01

Since 2013

Over a decade remodeling homes and businesses across the Coastal Bend.

02

Licensed

Licensed and pulling city permits, so the work is done to code and inspected.

03

Owner Estimates

Juan runs every in-person estimate himself, about an hour, seven days a week.

What we build

Seven trades, one crew

Carpentry, tile, plumbing, electrical, painting, concrete, and finish work all live in one crew, so MLA can take a kitchen or bathroom from demo to final walkthrough without handing it off to a stack of subcontractors. Those trades add up to the services below.

“Very professional and competent… I did not have to constantly monitor the status of my projects… you wouldn’t even know a repair had been made.”
