Don Perry Construction

Don Perry Construction is a one-owner outfit built around a niche that's picking up steam on the North Shore: accessory dwelling units. Don Perry runs the company himself, handling ADU permitting and builds alongside kitchen and bath remodeling, general contracting, and routine property upkeep, and he says he's been at it for decades, though the company's own site and a Porch directory listing don't agree on exactly how long — 40 years by one account, 25-plus by the other. The online track record is still thin. There's a single Google rating on file, a perfect five stars, but with only one review logged it reads as a first impression rather than a pattern. Nothing negative has turned up anywhere checked, which counts for something, but it isn't the same as a body of verified jobs to point to. What's solid is the paperwork: the Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license tied to the business is active and confirmed against the state registry. Worth asking about directly are which of the two stated timelines is accurate and for a few recent, specific project references, since there isn't much third-party history yet to lean on. This is a reasonable call for a homeowner focused on an ADU project who wants one person managing the whole job start to finish — just go in asking for references rather than the reviews, because there aren't enough of them yet to tell a story either way.
