Dana E Velez

A hundred and seventy permits, and almost all of them are insulation jobs. BuildZoom files Dana E Velez as an HVAC and mechanical contractor at 9 Eagle Hill Road in Groveland, but the permit descriptions say something else: blown cellulose, air sealing, polyiso, door sweeps, weather stripping — weatherization work, job after job, at a typical permit value around $4,000. Plenty of the jobs are in Methuen even though the business is based in Groveland. The volume is real and it is current: 54 of those 170 permits were pulled in the last three years. That is the profile of a crew doing steady, small-ticket building-envelope work rather than big-ticket mechanical installs. On credentials, BuildZoom's licence block bundles four records under one headline and they are not equal. It shows a Massachusetts construction supervisor licence, #CS-112315, which it marks verified active as of June 2026. It separately lists a home improvement contractor registration, #192066, as inactive or cancelled, plus two city registrations in the same lapsed state. All of that is BuildZoom's own bookkeeping rather than a state registry check, so if your job needs an active HIC registration, confirm it with Consumer Affairs before signing. No customer has written anything. BuildZoom says so directly, and its score of 104 — which it puts in the top 9% of the 139,240 Massachusetts contractors it tracks — is built from permits and licences with no customer opinion in it. For weatherization and insulation work, that permit history plus your own reference calls is what you have to go on.
