C Townsend Construction Inc

Forty years in one trade, and almost nothing written about it. That is the shape of C Townsend Construction, a Bridgewater general contractor BBB dates to 1986, run by Charles Townsend — Charlie on his own site, where he says he has 56 years in construction and 39 of them in business. The work is broad and old-fashioned general contracting: additions, kitchens, bathrooms, basements, whole-house renovations and commercial fit-outs, with roofing, siding, framing, masonry and interior finish work handled in-house. Houzz puts a typical job between $1,500 and $25,000 — repair-and-remodel money rather than ground-up budgets — and BBB records four employees, so this is a small crew, not a production builder. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 169242, is active in the state registry under the company's own name. Houzz separately lists a construction supervisor licence, CSL065780, for the business. The written record is where it gets thin, and it is dated: a single Houzz review, posted in September 2017, from a homeowner who had used the company repeatedly at both his house and a rental — "consistently excellent work — on budget and on time (otherwise, I wouldn't keep using him)". BBB grades the company A+ with no complaints, but it is not accredited and shows no reviews. That is one voice, nine years old, behind four decades of work. Worth a call if you want a long-established local builder for an addition or a mid-sized remodel and you're willing to do your own diligence: ask for three recent jobs in Bridgewater, Brockton or Easton and go see them, and confirm registration 169242 yourself.
