Advantage Remodeling

Advantage Remodeling has been remodeling houses around Arlington since 1997, by the company's own telling — kitchens and baths, additions, decks, attics and basements, plus general carpentry. Stephen Bazarian, its president, founded it and runs it. The company's site says Bazarian holds a non-restricted construction supervisor's license, covering one-to-four family homes and commercial buildings up to 35,000 square feet, and lists him as an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Renovator, certified in October 2009. The towns it names as its territory are Arlington, Lexington, Winchester, Belmont, Medford and others nearby. One thing to settle before you sign: the state registry shows the company's home improvement contractor registration, #192493, as expired. Ask whether it has been renewed, get the current number written into the contract, and have Bazarian confirm his supervisor's license covers the scope you are planning.
