Branden C Scimone

Twenty-eight building permits, essentially all of them at Marblehead addresses, and the largest carries a value of $991,173. Branden C Scimone works out of Marblehead, and his jobs run from a $5,500 project up to that near-million-dollar one, with the typical permit landing around $86,734. Twenty-two of the 28 permits were pulled in the past three years, and they lean toward kitchen remodels, multi-room renovations and additions. BuildZoom also lists bathroom, basement and whole-home remodels, and gives him a score of 98 — its own permit-based ranking, which it says puts him above 84% of the 139,240 Massachusetts contractors it tracks. His Massachusetts construction supervisor licence, CSFA-106492, is active on the state registry, held in his own name as a Construction Supervisor licence for 1- and 2-family dwellings. The spread in job size is the thing to raise up front. A $5,500 permit and a $991,173 permit are different undertakings; say which end yours sits at, and ask how he staffs and schedules a job that size. For a Marblehead kitchen, an addition, or a renovation that runs through several rooms, he is a reasonable call. Get the scope, the schedule and the payment stages in writing, ask for a certificate of insurance, and ask for two or three addresses from recent jobs you can go look at.
