E5 Builders

The first thing to know about E5 Builders is the licence. Massachusetts registry records show home improvement contractor registration 186569, held by E5 Builder's LLC, as expired. BuildZoom puts the expiry at 27 August 2025, says it last confirmed the licence expired on 14 April 2026, lists the status as inactive, and notes the state at one point showed it as cancelled — which is why its BuildZoom score sits at zero. Non-structural residential home improvement work in Massachusetts requires a current registration, so that is the thing to settle before any conversation about a project. The work behind the company is mostly institutional. BuildZoom counts seven permitted projects, described as commercial and municipal renovations across Gardner, Sterling, Fitchburg, North Attleboro, Boxborough, Malden and Auburn. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced in 2017 that E5 Builders, LLC of Leominster would carry out upgrades to the Barnes Building in Boston, and Sterling Meetinghouse News names the company as the builder of the Sterling senior center's garage. There are no customer reviews anywhere — none on BuildZoom, none on the BBB, which lists the company under project management at 45 Granite Street with an A+ grade (it is not accredited) and Jake LaRoche as managing owner. So: a builder with a public-project history and no homeowner word of mouth, currently without an active registration on file. If you are weighing them for residential work, ask whether the HIC registration has been renewed and confirm it yourself with the state's Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation before anything is signed.
