A & R Home Improvements & Remodeling, Inc.

A & R Home Improvements & Remodeling, Inc. is a Fairhaven, Massachusetts remodeling company, working from 9 Arsene Way on the New Bedford side of Buzzards Bay. It also trades as A & R Home Improvements, and under the fuller A and R Home Improvements & Additions. The one hard credential a Massachusetts homeowner should check is in place: the company holds Home Improvement Contractor registration 183805, and that registration was confirmed active directly against the state registry, in the corporation's own name rather than an individual's. HIC registration is what gives a homeowner access to the state Guaranty Fund if a residential job goes wrong, so having it current in the company name matters more than any badge a directory can print. Two other records point to a settled, staffed operation rather than a one-truck outfit: the corporation carries its own IRS employer identification number, and it sponsors one or more 401(k) retirement plans — an employee benefit a very small contractor rarely files for. What is missing here is customer voice. No reviews from homeowners were found on any platform, so nothing can be said about how the work turns out, how the crew communicates, or how jobs are priced. For a company with a clean, current state registration, that makes references the thing to insist on: ask for two or three Fairhaven-area jobs finished in the last year and call them.
