Clamel Construction Corporation

Clamel Construction Corp. is a two-person remodeling shop on Haverhill Street in Methuen, run by Melvin Figueroa. Its Better Business Bureau page dates the business to November 2015 and lists the work it takes on: remodeling and renovation, kitchen and bath jobs, repairs, fences and finish carpentry. That page carries an A+ grade, without accreditation. One thing needs sorting out before anything else. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 187774, is expired in the state registry. That registration is what backs a homeowner's protections on residential remodeling work in Massachusetts, so ask when it will be renewed and, if permits are needed sooner, whose registration they intend to pull them under. With two people on the books, scale is the other honest caveat. A bathroom, a fence, or a run of finish work fits that size of crew; a gut kitchen on a hard deadline is a different conversation. No customer reviews have surfaced for this company anywhere yet, so this is a starting point rather than a verdict. Ask for two or three recent local jobs you can call, and confirm the registration status yourself before signing anything.
