Db's Contractors

Db's Contractors works mostly within a few miles of its own front door. The company is at 96 Myrtle Street in Methuen, with Dennis Baillargeon named as owner and a second name, Drew Soley, listed alongside him. The permits tell the story better than anything else on file. A basement converted into a deed-restricted in-law apartment on Woodburn Drive at just under $80,000. Bathrooms taken back to the studs and rebuilt on Edgewood Avenue and Old Farm Road. Redecking on Heather Drive. Two jobs step outside the house entirely — a $119,000 retail fit-up on Pleasant Valley Street in Methuen and a studio division inside a college building on Commonwealth Avenue in Boston — so this is a remodeler who is comfortable on a commercial site, not one who only touches homes. Two things to raise before hiring. BuildZoom has never received a single review for the company, so there is nothing from past customers to weigh; ask for references and go look at finished work. And the licensing needs a phone call. BuildZoom's summary line says the company "holds a Home Improvement Contractor license and 1 other license", which a homeowner would read as two current credentials — but the detail rows underneath show one active home improvement registration, #171764, and a second number, #132041, marked inactive and described as having been cancelled at one point. Both are the directory's claims rather than verifications, and neither carries a holder name to check against the business. The Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation can settle which is which. One more note on those permits: the most recent one shown is from 2020, and BuildZoom sorts them by "notable", which floats the biggest jobs to the top instead of showing the everyday mix. A reasonable call if you want someone Methuen-based for a basement or bathroom project, provided you confirm the registration yourself and get references directly from the company.
