Boston Max Construction, Inc.

Two things dominate what is publicly known about Boston Max Construction, and both belong on the table before anyone calls. The first is licensing. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 169034, sits on the state registry as expired. BuildZoom, working from the same state data, shows that number and a second one, 181621, both inactive and "at one point cancelled", alongside a Rhode Island residential contractor registration it last saw expiring in February 2013. BuildZoom scores the company 0 and says why: no active licence on file. In Massachusetts an active HIC registration is what puts a residential customer inside the state's Guaranty Fund and arbitration program, so this is not a technicality. The second is safety. US Department of Labor enforcement records describe an OSHA inspection opened on 19 November 2019 at a State Road site in Westport that produced three citations and $4,000 in proposed penalties, filed against the company as a siding contractor. The citation quoted runs under the General Duty Clause — employees exposed to fall and struck-by hazards. One inspection, seven years back, is history rather than a description of how a crew works today. It is also the only published account of this company on a job site. There is a counterweight worth stating plainly. A Boston planning-agency project filing lists Boston Max Construction as the carpentry subcontractor at 421 Aden Street, designated SBE — a developer put them on a city job and recorded them as a small business enterprise. What is absent is any customer at all. BuildZoom holds zero reviews for them and no permits, and nothing else turned up, which is why no rating appears here. If you are still interested, ask for a current Massachusetts HIC registration number you can look up yourself, a certificate of insurance — BuildZoom names Safety Insurance as the carrier — and their own account of the 2019 inspection.
