Colby C Baker

Fifty-two permitted projects, and almost none of them are houses. Colby C Baker works out of 30 Prospect Street in Malden, and the permit trail BuildZoom keeps is dominated by large commercial roof replacements — office and institutional buildings around Boston and the cities next to it, stripped to the deck and rebuilt. The pace has slowed on paper: five of those 52 permits fall in the last three years. BuildZoom states it has received no reviews for the company, so there is no customer account to weigh here, in either direction, and no rating is offered. BuildZoom also lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration and a construction supervisor licence for the business. Those are the directory's own entries rather than anything confirmed against the state registry, and the profile's narrative paragraph about two decades of residential remodeling is BuildZoom's generated boilerplate, not the company's own statement. If you manage a commercial building with a flat roof, the permit history is the part worth reading. For a house, start by asking whether residential roofs are work they take at all, and check both licence numbers on the state's own site before anything is signed.
