A Plus General Contracting

A Plus General Contracting is Joseph J Machado's outfit in Dartmouth, and its permits read like a crew that takes the whole job rather than one trade: a 2017 Quincy rehab with twelve replacement windows, a new kitchen and hardwood floors, and a 2013 Teaticket remodel that redid the exterior in cedar siding and a new roof, then went back inside for insulation and drywall. The pace is what to notice. Five permitted projects between 2012 and 2022, the most recent being a Plymouth roof strip-and-replace and a Wareham bulkhead door, both in 2022 — a real paper trail, but a light one that runs out four years back. BuildZoom scores the business 92, which it places in the top third of Massachusetts contractors. On licensing, BuildZoom lists Massachusetts home improvement registration 156142 and says it verified that active in March 2026; it also lists a Rhode Island contractor registration, 31552, as inactive and at one point cancelled. Those are a directory's records rather than a registry check of our own, so ask for the current numbers — particularly if your job is across the state line. Nobody has written a review, so there is nothing here about how those jobs actually went. For a South Coast homeowner who already has a referral and a multi-trade project — roof, windows, kitchen — the permit history at least shows the work happening; get references and current registration before signing.
