B & D Construction Co., Inc.

B & D Construction Co., Inc. is a Raynham, Massachusetts general contractor that says it has been in business since 1983, founded by Dan and Laurie DaRosa. Brendan Mullen, the company's president, holds a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor License and has 26 years of project-management experience, and the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is verified active on the state registry. Houzz reviews from 2012 and 2013 describe a crew, at the time led on-site by Brendan, that showed up on schedule and communicated clearly. In a November 2012 review, a homeowner said B & D removed an old kitchen garden window and installed and framed a new one, with a crew that answered every question about the installation. Another review that same month described a similar garden-window job as on time and on schedule, with good communication throughout. An October 2012 review described a new roof job done start to finish, with requested revisions worked into the original quote. The newest of the four, from February 2013, praised the crew's ideas, said the site was cleaned thoroughly when the job was done, and said the reviewer expected to hire the same crew again. Houzz shows a 5.0-star average across those four reviews and lists six projects on the company's profile. The company lists an extensive roster of manufacturer and trade certifications — including Certified Andersen Contractor, CertainTeed Master Craftsman and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor status, plus a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor License held by the president and four project staff — all self-reported on its own site. Its Houzz profile separately lists Installation Masters and Vinyl Siding Institute certifications, and the company's site also lists a Rhode Island contractor license number. B & D is worth considering for a larger remodel, an addition, or an exterior job like roofing, siding, windows or doors — ask for a written scope and current references as part of any quote, and confirm which of the listed manufacturer certifications apply to your project.
