Athanas Construction

The paper trail on Athanas Construction is short: an A+ Better Business Bureau grade, a two-rating average on Google, and a single customer review — all of it positive, but there isn't much of it. Out of Weymouth on the South Shore, the company says it's been doing residential work for more than 25 years — additions, decks, sheds, siding, roofing, and window and door replacements — run as a sole proprietorship by Nicholas Athanas with a handful of employees. The BBB's own file tells a shorter story: it puts the business at 13 years old, opened in 2013, a gap worth asking about directly before signing anything. The overall pattern of what's out there is favorable rather than damning — no complaints on file, a top BBB grade, a good word from the one customer on record — but it's thin enough that none of it should be mistaken for a deep track record. There's also a stray directory listing that folds an unrelated building-materials supplier's ad into the same phone number, which reads like index noise rather than a second business line, but it's worth a second glance if it comes up. This is a small, clean-complaint local operation rather than a heavily reviewed one. Reasonable to call for a smaller job like siding or windows, but ask for a few current references and pin down the actual years in business before committing to something bigger like a full re-roof or an addition.
