Brendon Botelho Construction

Ten building permits in five years, and not one written word from a customer — that is the whole of what is publicly known about Brendon Botelho Construction, a one-man outfit run out of 32 Alcazar Ave in Fall River. The permits are the useful part, because towns do not issue them to nobody. Between 2021 and 2025 he pulled ten across Fall River and the towns around it — Taunton, North Easton, Acushnet, Wareham, Buzzards Bay — and the work behind them is consistent: kitchens gutted and re-cabineted, bathrooms redone, siding and windows replaced across whole houses. The typical permit values out near $25,000, which puts him in the range of substantial single-room and full-exterior jobs rather than punch-list repairs. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts construction supervisor licence and a home improvement contractor registration for him. Those are the directory's own records, not something confirmed against the state registry, so ask him for both numbers and check them at the Department of Public Safety and the Office of Consumer Affairs before you sign anything. The gap worth naming: BuildZoom states plainly that it has received no reviews for him, and nothing turned up elsewhere either. A clean permit trail tells you he is real, licensed enough to pull work in several towns, and busy — it tells you nothing about whether he showed up on time, cleaned up, or came back to fix the one thing that was wrong. So he is worth a call if you are pricing a kitchen or a siding-and-windows job on the South Coast and you want a bid from someone with a documented run of exactly that work nearby. Just do the reference-checking yourself: ask for two or three recent customers in Taunton or Wareham you can phone, and confirm the licence numbers directly with the state.
