Db's Contractors

The biggest job on Db's Contractors' permit list is a $79,599 basement conversion into an in-law apartment. The company works out of 96 Myrtle St in Methuen; BuildZoom names Dennis Baillargeon as its owner, with Drew Soley listed as an owner as well. Seven permitted projects run from 2012 to 2020, most of them Methuen houses — bathroom remodels, redecking, that basement apartment. Two are commercial: a $119,482 retail tenant fit-up on Pleasant Valley St in Methuen, and dividing a studio inside a college building on Commonwealth Ave in Boston. So a homeowner calling about a bathroom is hiring a shop that also handles a storefront build-out. Its BuildZoom services run from single rooms to whole-home remodels and additions, and its BuildZoom score of 91, built from permit activity, puts Db's in the top 37% of the 139,240 Massachusetts contractors the site tracks. One thing to settle first: BuildZoom lists two Massachusetts home improvement contractor numbers for this business, #171764 and #132041. Check which one applies today with the state's Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation before you sign anything. For a Merrimack Valley basement or bathroom project Db's is a sensible call — ask to walk a finished job, get the licence number written into the contract, and confirm insurance.
