DRH Builders LLC

Two Marblehead kitchens, both a hundred thousand dollars, both finished. That is the visible shape of DRH Builders LLC, run by Daniel Harvey out of 37 West St. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active - number 191714, held under the company's own name and confirmed against the state registry rather than copied from a directory. The permit trail is small and entirely local. In November 2023 the company pulled a $100,350 permit at 11 Hathaway Rd to renovate a kitchen and third-floor bathroom, replace two more bathroom floors, take out structural and non-structural walls on the first floor, fit three windows and an exterior door, prep a gas fireplace insert and install new cabinetry and millwork. Three months earlier, in August 2023, a $102,500 job at 11 Alexander Cir covered kitchen and bathrooms, window and door replacement, floor refinishing and finish carpentry. A full bathroom renovation at 9 Willard Ln closed out in September 2022. All three are marked complete. Those jobs point one way: multi-trade, gut-level renovation of older Marblehead houses at six figures apiece, rather than small repairs or single-item installs. What there isn't is a customer voice. BuildZoom carries no reviews for the company at all, so nobody who lived through one of those renovations has written about it, and on a job of that size that gap counts for more than it would on a half-day repair. If you are planning a kitchen or a whole-floor renovation in Marblehead, DRH is a credible call - the registration checks out with the state and the permits are real, complete and in your own town. Ask for two or three references from the 2023 jobs specifically, and ask who holds the construction supervisor licence covering the structural portion, since one of those permits involved removing load-bearing walls.
