D.M. Custom Building & Remodeling

D.M. Custom Building & Remodeling is one man's shop — David Meader, working out of Shrewsbury. The company describes itself as family owned and operated, doing residential building and remodeling across central Massachusetts: additions, kitchens, baths, basements, decks, porches, trim and general home repairs. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #114583, is active on the state registry in Meader's name, and BuildZoom lists a construction supervisor licence, #CSFA-045933. Thirteen projects show on that BuildZoom profile, with permits in Jefferson, Auburn and Northborough — central-Massachusetts residential work spread across towns rather than parked in one. On Reddit, a March 2024 commenter in r/WorcesterMA named Meader Construction in Shrewsbury among the builders they had hired. Google carries a five-star rating from one customer. The company offers a free consultation and estimate, and says it carries general liability and workers' compensation with certificates available on request — ask for those certificates before anyone starts. If you want the person who quotes the job to be the person doing it, a one-man shop is the point. Ask Meader how he sequences electricians and plumbers on a kitchen or an addition, how long he expects to be on your house, and confirm the registration number against the state lookup.
