Almeida General Construction Inc

The line that sticks comes from a customer writing in August 2020 who had by then worked with Almeida for 14 years: the huge custom counter and wrap station Izzy built for her retail space, she said, is the eighth wonder of the world. Cabinets are the specialty, in her telling — which squares with a November 2016 customer who described custom cabinetry delivered on time, on budget, with the whole process walked through beforehand and no surprises at the end. Isaias Almeida runs the company out of 9 Osgood St in Lawrence, and what customers describe reaches well past cabinets: home repairs, an emergency basement redo, gutting and building out a 5,000 square foot retail location, roof repairs, and clearing snow off roofs. Another August 2020 homeowner wrote that Izzy fixed leaks on their roof and that six months later there had been no further trouble. The permit record runs to 30 projects, two of them in the last two years. Two things to settle before hiring. The written record is dated — the newest of the four accounts is from August 2020, so nothing describes work done since. And the licensing splits in two: the Massachusetts construction supervisor licence, CS-098737, is active in the state registry, while the home improvement contractor registration, #181936, is expired. That registration is the one tied to residential home-improvement work, so ask directly whether it has been renewed before signing anything on a house. For custom cabinetry and built-in millwork, the older praise is specific and consistent, and a client relationship that ran 14 years says something no single job can. Confirm the HIC registration status first, then ask for a recent job you can go and look at.
