Duarte M Machado Construction

Duarte M Machado Construction works out of 14 Albion St in Salem, Massachusetts, and the trade it can actually be traced doing is exterior work on North Shore houses. The permit record is the substantial part. BuildZoom counts 202 permitted projects under this name, and the permits it samples, dated 2019 through 2023, are heavily exterior: vinyl and cedar-impression siding replacements, reroofs taken down to new gutters, trim and fascia, window replacements from a single unit up to twenty-two at a time, and one job in 2020 that opened an enclosed porch back up into a deck. Most sat in Peabody, with others in Danvers, Revere, Middleton, Everett, Arlington and Newton Center — jobs typically valued between about $5,000 and $27,000. Licensing is where a homeowner needs to slow down. The state registry shows home improvement contractor registration 112218 in the name Duarte M Machado as expired. BuildZoom, separately, lists a different home improvement registration — number 208025 — that it says it verified active as of March 2026, along with construction supervisor specialty licence CSSL-099496 carrying demolition, roofing, windows-and-siding and solid-fuel endorsements, and an asbestos contractor licence, all of which it says it verified active in July 2026. Those are the directory's claims, and they do not line up with the expired registration confirmed against the registry. Before signing anything, ask which registration number the company is currently working under and look it up yourself on the state's Contractor Hub — for nonstructural residential work in Massachusetts, an active home improvement registration is what puts a homeowner inside the Guaranty Fund. BuildZoom also reports that only two of those 202 projects fell within the past three years, so the pace of permitted work looks slower recently than the total suggests. No customer reviews have surfaced on any source, which means there is nothing on record about scheduling, cleanup, or how problems get handled mid-job. If you are pricing a siding, roof or window job on the North Shore, this is a name with a real permit history behind it. Get the current registration number, certificates of insurance, and two or three references from jobs finished in the last year or two before you commit.
