Abax Contracting LLC

Abax Contracting LLC works out of 29 Maple St in Middleton, Massachusetts, and its permitted jobs stay close to home — Middleton itself plus Beverly, Newburyport and West Newbury on the North Shore (E568700). The building-permit record is the clearest picture of what they actually do, and it is mostly exterior and carpentry work. In December 2024 they pulled a $17,500 permit to install vinyl siding on a home at 27 Maple St in Middleton, a few doors from their own address. In August 2023 they took a storm-door replacement permit at 2 Hilltop Dr in Beverly, which the records list as final. In September 2022 they replaced rear porches at six units on Boynton Ct in West Newbury, each permitted at $3,335, and that same month completed a $36,500 kitchen renovation at 17 Simmons Dr in Newburyport (E568700). BuildZoom counts nine permitted projects in total (E568697), though it also notes only about two of those fall in the past three years. The company is run by Konstantinos Zervas and Evangelos Roukliotis, with Evangelos K Roukliotis listed as general manager (E568700). BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration, licence #197463, which it says it verified as active in March 2026 (E568698). That is the directory's own check rather than a state-register confirmation made here, so a homeowner should look the number up directly on the Commonwealth's Contractor Hub before signing. One credential is worth asking about directly. The same profile carries a second entry — an Environmental Protection Agency Renovation licence, #NAT-F213462-1 — recorded as Inactive, with the note that its status "was at one point cancelled" (E568699). EPA Renovation certification is the lead-safe RRP credential, and it is a legal requirement for disturbing paint in housing built before 1978. Given that this firm's permitted work includes siding, storm doors and porch replacement on older North Shore housing, anyone with a pre-1978 home should ask them to produce a current RRP certificate before work starts. There is no customer feedback at all to weigh. BuildZoom states plainly that it has received no reviews for this business, and no star rating appears anywhere on the profile, so no rating is given here (E568700). The BZ Score of 96 shown on the page is calculated from permit records and reflects permit history rather than how customers were treated (E568700). They look like a reasonable call for siding, door and window replacement, porch work and kitchen renovation around Middleton and the North Shore. Before hiring, confirm the HIC registration and the EPA lead-safe certification with the issuing bodies, ask for references from recent jobs, and get the scope and price in writing.
