Danny Cerqueira Construction

Danny Cerqueira Construction is a Middleton, Massachusetts general contractor that's been building and adding onto homes and commercial spaces since 2004, run by owner Danny Cerqueira with a team of eight, according to its BBB file. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active with the state today, and permit records back up real, substantial project work: a three-floor, $315,000 addition in Middleton in 2021, a $199,700 new single-family home in Cambridge in 2018, a $222,045 gut renovation in Charlestown in 2019, plus bathroom and kitchen remodels, decking, siding and window work across the North Shore and Boston area. The written record on this company is small and mixed. Homeowners on BBB describe completed additions and new-home builds as professional, dependable and finished on time. But the same stretch also holds real friction: in a 2025 account, a subcontractor says he's owed $9,500 for work performed and describes the business as unresponsive about paying it — a concern for any homeowner worried about liens landing on their own property. In an October 2024 review, a customer says a deposit paid for three replacement windows was followed by scheduled appointments the company didn't keep. And in a 2017 account, a prospective client who'd chosen the company after a competitive bidding process says responsiveness dropped off before a contract was ever signed, and they hired someone else. One thing worth confirming: BBB gives this business an A+ letter grade, but BBB itself states that customer reviews play no part in that grade — it's a separate measure, not a contradiction of the complaint above. It's also worth knowing the company has held several Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration numbers over the years; a directory lists three of the older ones as inactive, while the current one, verified today, is active. Given the real scale of documented work alongside a live payment complaint and a missed-appointment account, this is a business to talk to directly about current subcontractor relationships, payment terms and a signed contract before any deposit changes hands.
