Cardoso Construction

Cardoso Construction is a Dorchester-based general contractor with a real footprint in the neighborhood's multi-family housing — BuildZoom's permit-history profile credits the business with 44 permitted projects, mostly kitchen, bathroom and porch remodels on multi-family properties plus one new three-family build, spread across Dorchester, Mattapan, Roxbury, Milton and Quincy, and gives it a BuildZoom score of 91. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration under license #177516 is registry-verified but shows expired, and BuildZoom's own listing for that same number shows it inactive, with status previously cancelled. BuildZoom also lists a newer HIC registration (#187518, issued May 2026) shown active, along with active-status Construction Supervisor and Building Official certifications — none of these newer entries are independently verified against the state registry. Before hiring, it's worth confirming the current status of the company's home improvement contractor registration directly, since the one registry-verified number on file has lapsed.
