Artisan Building Group, Inc.

Artisan Building Group has been building out of Middleton since April 2014, and the state registry backs the credential that matters most: its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 180519, is active and held in the company's own name. Anthony Messina runs it as president. The company's site credits him with more than 30 years in construction management — that is his career, not the firm's, which BBB dates to its incorporation on 22 April 2014, with four employees. The work it describes spans three markets: houses, commercial buildings, and interior fit-outs, taken from conceptual design through to completion. The customer side of this is one line long. In twelve years of trading, the public comment on the company amounts to a single Google post from 2022: "Their people don't know how to drive." It carries one star, and it is about a vehicle rather than a kitchen or a foundation — so it says nothing about whether the building work is any good. BBB has had the company on file since March 2019 as not accredited and not rated, saying it lacks sufficient information to issue a grade. So: a licensed Middleton builder with a verified registration and almost nothing written about the work itself. That is not a strike against them — it means the checking falls to you. Ask Messina for two or three recent residential jobs you can go and look at, the homeowners' numbers, and a current certificate of liability insurance, and confirm registration 180519 on the state's Contractor Hub before you sign anything.
