David J Smith, Owner

David J Smith works out of Piedmont Street in Methuen as a remodeling contractor, and very little about him has been published. One permit sits on file: a $46,000 kitchen and main-bathroom remodel in Byfield, completed in 2018. That is the whole documented work history. No customer account turned up anywhere. BuildZoom's score of 90 comes with its own explanation attached — the page says the score indicates the contractor is licensed or registered but that it has no additional information about them. It is not a rating of the work, and it should not be read as one. The licence records are where care is needed. Four are listed for this one business. Two are Massachusetts home improvement contractor numbers that cannot both describe the current position: #141554, which BuildZoom says it verified as active in July 2026, and #119539, marked inactive and at one point cancelled. The other two print the same number, #106073, under two different City of Newton types, both flagged unverified and carrying a December 2022 expiration that has already passed while still reading "Status Active". None of that is a state registry check. His listed services run to kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions and whole-home remodels, though only the kitchen-and-bath work is backed by a permit. For a project on that scale, ask which registration number is current, confirm it with the state, and ask for addresses of recent jobs you can go and look at — nothing published here speaks to how the work goes.
