Ana O Argueta Campos

Ana O Argueta Campos is a Boston-based contractor with a short but substantial public record: two permitted projects, both filed in 2024, together worth just over $210,000. The larger of the two says the most about the work. It is a $183,000 permit at 64 Front Street in Marblehead covering three kitchens and three bathrooms — new plaster on interior walls and ceilings across two floors, insulation in the exterior walls, ventilation piping, bathroom tiling, and third-floor windows replaced in kind under Old and Historic Districts Commission approval. Working to an historic-district commission's in-kind window standard is a real constraint, and passing it is not nothing. The second permit, a $27,500 back-porch rebuild in East Boston, is a full structural job: new footings, ledger boards, framing to code, 6x6 posts, plywood, insulation, a rubber roof, new railing and composite decking with siding patched back around it. On credentials, the listing shows a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor licence, CS-118024, recorded as active. That is the licence the state requires for work touching a building's structural elements, which matches the porch rebuild. It is worth noting this is a directory's record rather than an independently confirmed one, and that no Home Improvement Contractor registration appears alongside it — the separate registration the state requires for non-structural residential home improvement work. Both are quick to check directly: the Construction Supervisor licence with the Department of Public Safety, the HIC registration with the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. The honest limit here is that no one has written publicly about hiring her. There are no reviews at all, so nothing is known about scheduling, communication, cleanliness, or how a problem gets handled. Two permits is also a thin history by which to judge consistency. She is a plausible fit if you have a gut-renovation or structural job on the North Shore or in East Boston — especially in an historic district, where the Marblehead permit shows she has worked to a commission's approval. Before hiring, ask for references from those two 2024 jobs specifically, confirm both licence and registration numbers with the state yourself, and get certificates of general liability and workers' compensation insurance in hand.
