Band of Brothers Home Improvements

A three-year-old Haverhill outfit with an A+ from the Better Business Bureau and a home improvement contractor registration that ran out this spring — those two facts sit awkwardly together, and both matter before you call. Band of Brothers Home Improvements LLC works out of 50 Highland Ave in Haverhill. BBB records it as a building contractor incorporated in February 2023 with two employees, managed by Michael Espinola and Matthew Hulett. BuildZoom lists the work as remodeling and additions — multi-room and whole-home remodels, kitchens, baths, basements, ADUs. The licensing is the thing to settle first. BuildZoom shows Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration #212000 expiring 05-01-2026, and says it re-checked on 06-18-2026 and found it expired, listing the status as inactive and at one point cancelled. That's why BuildZoom's score for the business is 0 — the score is a licence-standing measure, not a verdict on the work. A registration that existed and lapsed is a different fact from never having needed one, and in Massachusetts an active HIC registration is what gives a homeowner access to the Guaranty Fund on a residential job. The A+ from BBB sits on the other side of the ledger, though BBB grades a business that isn't accredited largely on complaint history and time in business. There are no BBB complaints and no reviews anywhere — nobody who hired them has written anything down. So there's no customer track record here in either direction. If you're considering them, ask directly whether the HIC registration has been renewed and check the number yourself against the state's Consumer Affairs registry before signing anything, then ask for current insurance certificates and a couple of recent local references.
