David A Martin

Eleven permits, no reviews, and a lapsed license — that is the whole public trace of David A Martin. The Dracut builder works under his own name and shows up in permit records for 11 projects between 2009 and 2021, spread across Haverhill, Burlington, Arlington, Methuen, Tewksbury, Framingham and Woburn. The work leans toward kitchens, bathrooms and rear additions, with a deck, a rebuilt roof truss, ductwork and a gas fireplace also in the mix — and several of the kitchen jobs were additions rather than swap-outs, which is the harder version of that project. Licensing is the thing to settle before anything else. His Massachusetts construction supervisor license (#CS-055853) shows as inactive, having been cancelled at some point, and the two City of Newton builder records listed for him carried a December 2022 expiration. BuildZoom scores him 0 for exactly that reason: no active license on file. Those are directory records, not a registry check, so confirm the current standing with the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety, and check home improvement contractor registration with Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation, before signing anything. No customer has posted a review on any platform, so the permits establish that the work happened, not how it turned out. That leaves a permit history and unresolved licensing, which is not enough to rate. If he came to you by personal recommendation, ask for current license and registration numbers, addresses of recent jobs you can go look at, and a certificate of insurance.
