Verified record
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from David M Palumbo. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Estimated range
$23,000 – $35,000
Typical remodeling project around $29,000
What is known about David M Palumbo comes almost entirely from building permits filed out of 7 Ryer Ln in Middleton — 117 of them on BuildZoom — and they describe a builder rather than a flooring contractor. The larger jobs are substantial. Two new three-unit townhouses erected in East Boston in 2018 at $633,250 apiece, a structure razed in South Boston, an emergency retaining-wall rebuild beside a six-unit building in East Boston, a commercial strip-out on Batterymarch Street. Closer to the house there are bathroom remodels and third-floor porch railings in Everett, and a windows, doors, bathroom and accessibility-ramp renovation in Attleboro — the only sampled permit that mentions installing flooring at all. Two things need care before anyone calls. BuildZoom lists four separate Massachusetts home improvement contractor registrations under this name and marks every one of them inactive or cancelled; that registration is what Massachusetts requires for nonstructural residential home improvement work, which makes it worth asking about directly. The same block bundles nine records across six types, one of them a Building Official Certification and Massachusetts Building Commissioner credential — a municipal official's certification rather than a contractor's, and a sign that a bundle this broad under a common personal name may be mixing in a different David Palumbo. None of those numbers was confirmed against the state in this scan. The customer record is one line from May 2015, and it is not the endorsement the page's 5-star headline implies: the writer said he came out but never returned a quote, and would report back if they heard from him again. Permitted work has thinned since, to two projects across the past three years. For flooring specifically, nothing here shows it. For structural or new-build work, start by confirming the construction supervisor licence with the Department of Public Safety and the home improvement registration with the Office of Consumer Affairs, and ask for owners' contacts from the most recent jobs.
He came but hasn't given us a quote on fixing everything. Will let you know if we hear from him again.
