Bray Builders Ltd

Bray Builders operates out of Rowley, run by owner Dermot Bray, and holds an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, current through August 2027. BuildZoom also lists a construction supervisor license under the business that it says it verified active as of mid-2026. The permit record runs deep — 66 jobs on file going back to 2019, with 13 in the past three years — but doesn't match how the business markets itself. BuildZoom's own services list advertises kitchen, bathroom and whole-home remodels and additions; the actual sampled permits are almost entirely exterior envelope work instead — window and door replacement, vinyl and clapboard siding, gutters, and roof shingles — spread across Marblehead, Rowley, Newburyport and a string of other North Shore towns, with a typical job value around $12,400. A handful of the permits are tagged commercial. Given the gap between the advertised remodel work and what the permits actually show, it's worth asking directly whether this is a remodeling outfit or primarily an exterior-replacement crew before assuming either.
