Verified record
There's only one account on file for Charles E Foley Construction, and it's a serious one. In a 2017 review, a customer describes hiring the company for siding on a two-family home and getting an unfinished job, a bill padded with extra materials charges, a permit fee charged for a permit that was never actually pulled, a site left uncleaned, and tools that went missing from the property afterward. There's nothing else here to weigh against that — no other reviews, no licence record, no other independent mentions. A single account this specific and this serious is worth taking at face value rather than dismissing as an outlier, especially since it names concrete, checkable problems (an unpermitted job that was billed as permitted) rather than vague dissatisfaction. Given how thin and how negative the record is, get everything in writing before hiring — a permit number you can verify with the town, an itemized materials list, and a clear finish date — and ask directly about the 2017 complaint.
Bad Bad Bad. Stay as far away from these folks as you can. In addition to not finishing the job, they padded the bill on materials, never pulled the permit they charged me for, didn't clean-up the site and then 'borrowed' some of MY tools. The project was siding for a 2 family house where I lived in one unit and rented the other. One night Sean Foley stopped by while I was out of town and was belligerent to the tenants, not to mention drunk. He told a good story and started the job off strong, but things went down hill fast and never recovered. I ended up out a few thousand dollars. I can't say it enough, stay away.
