Davidson Builders & General Contractors LLC

The one hard fact about Davidson Builders & General Contractors is the useful one: its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, 171855, is active, verified in the state registry under the company's own name rather than an individual's. Beyond that the public trail is thin. The Better Business Bureau lists it as a general contractor in Danvers, managed by Brian Davidson with one employee, and has held a file since October 2011, with the LLC incorporated in June 2014 — about fourteen years of trading by BBB's count. It also trades as Davidson Builders & Contractors. BBB has not accredited the company and prints no letter grade for it, saying it does not have sufficient information to issue a rating. No customer reviews, no complaint count and no government actions appear on that file. So: a registered, long-standing, one-person general contracting business that has left almost nothing published behind it. That is not a mark against the work — plenty of small builders never collect a review — but it does mean the diligence falls to you. Ask for three recent job addresses and the homeowners' phone numbers, check that the registration number on your contract is 171855, and get the scope and payment schedule in writing before any deposit.
