Better Living

What Better Living does

Better Living is the firmographic label associated with this record, described in header data as offering thyroid management, pharmacy, and pediatrics services, with a website at betterlivingmedical.com and a CEO listed as Randy Robin. The substantive source material, however, does not support this healthcare characterization and instead describes an unrelated entity, Mavro Island Services, Inc., a multi-service property services company based at 131 Pennsylvania Ave, Vineyard Haven, MA. This data conflict is material: no evidence in the supplied input corroborates a medical/pharmacy business, while the entire body of operating detail describes a residential services firm.

Based on the substantive evidence available, Mavro Island Services, Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned services company incorporated in Massachusetts and founded in 2024 by Tim Mavro and Kandace Mavro, lifelong Martha's Vineyard residents and MVRHS class of 2006 graduates. It serves homeowners across all six island towns (Aquinnah, Chilmark, West Tisbury, Tisbury, Oak Bluffs, and Edgartown) year-round, offering an integrated bundle of five service lines: trucking and hauling using 10-wheel dump trucks; construction and site work; caretaking and property management; landscaping and outdoor work; and bookkeeping. The company explicitly positions itself as a 'one call does it all' alternative to coordinating multiple island contractors.

The business model is direct-to-consumer professional services: customers initiate contact via phone (508-560-4848) or a website quote form, work is scoped and quoted per project, and services are delivered by company-owned equipment and staff. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with no institutional investment, no parent company, and no subsidiaries identified. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees, consistent with a small founder-operated local services firm in its first operating years.
