# Burdeys Remodeling and Construction LLC **Trade:** General Contractor / Remodeling · **Address:** 193 Lafayette St, Salem, MA · **Phone:** (978) 989-1848 · **Website:** https://burdeysremodeling.com/kitchen/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.5/5** (low confidence) — from 5 reviews across 4 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Burdeys Remodeling and Construction is a Salem general contractor run day to day by Chris Burden — the name behind every review and every permit on file. Incorporated as an LLC in 2021, the company handles kitchen and bath remodels, additions, decks, ADUs and siding work across the North Shore, and BBB lists 13 employees on staff. Permit records back that up with real, varied jobs: a $150,000 kitchen-and-bathroom project in Beverly, a $50,000 basement remodel in South Hamilton, two deck rebuilds in Salem, and Hardie-board re-siding on a Marblehead house completed in August 2023. Reviews on Houzz and BuildZoom from 2021 through 2024 stay consistently positive — in a 2023 review, a kitchen-remodel client called Chris and his team trustworthy and pointed to design touches like a countertop pass-through window, and a 2024 review described a shed remodel finished in a single day. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (HIC #197666) is active. A separate construction supervisor license, CS-115342, is self-reported on BuildZoom and BBB but hasn't been independently verified, and BuildZoom's own listings don't agree with each other on its status — one page shows it active into 2026, another shows it inactive after being cancelled. Its Houzz profile is currently marked suspended, pending reactivation by the owner. For a kitchen, bath, addition or deck project on the North Shore, this is a small, permit-documented outfit with a consistent run of positive reviews from 2021 to 2024 — worth asking directly about the construction supervisor credential given what the directories show. **Strengths:** - Permit-documented jobs — kitchens, additions, decks and siding across the North Shore - Praised communication — reviewers cite clear updates and design input - Verified license — Massachusetts HIC registration is active **Concerns:** - License status disputed — BuildZoom shows CS-115342 as both active and inactive - Houzz profile suspended — pending reactivation by the owner **Where sources disagree:** - BuildZoom's own listings disagree on construction supervisor license CS-115342 — one shows it active into 2026, another shows it inactive after being cancelled; the number is not independently verified. - BuildZoom assigns the business a score of 0, attributed to incomplete license information, even while its own pages show the home improvement contractor license verified active. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Massachusetts lists Burdeys Remodeling and Construction's home improvement contractor registration (HIC #197666) as active. _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://contractorhub.mass.gov/s/hic-contractor-search) — “MA hic license 197666 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: Christopher Martin Burden” - The Better Business Bureau rates the company A+, accredited since November 2025, and lists it as an LLC incorporated in 2021 with 13 employees. _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/salem/profile/remodel-contractors/burdeys-remodeling-and-construction-llc-0021-558336) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/salem/profile/remodel-contractors/burdeys-remodeling-and-construction-llc-0021-558336) — “Better Business Bureau: accredited / certified / member” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/salem/profile/remodel-contractors/burdeys-remodeling-and-construction-llc-0021-558336) — “Listed certification: BBB Accredited Since 11/4/2025” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/salem/profile/remodel-contractors/burdeys-remodeling-and-construction-llc-0021-558336) — “BBB profile for Burdeys Remodeling and Construction LLC at 193 Lafayette St, Salem MA 01970, phone (978) 989-1848: BBB Accredited since 11/4…” - In a 2023 review, a kitchen-remodel client called Chris and his team trustworthy and praised design touches including a countertop pass-through window. _(confidence: high)_ - [Houzz](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/burdey-s-remodeling-and-construction-llc-pfvwus-pf~792856064) — “4★ I found Chris and his team to be trustworthy and honest people to manage my kitchen remodel.
