Elice Read Home Improvement

The most important thing on Elice Read Home Improvement's record is a status, not a review: the Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration in the company's name, number 145187, shows as expired on the state registry. The work is still visible. A permit pulled in June 2025 put the company at 5 Summer Street Ct in Nahant, replacing four exterior doors on a job valued at $25,363 — non-structural, straightforward exterior work out of its Jamaica Plain address. BuildZoom lists one other, far older filing, an electrical permit in Westford in 2000. BuildZoom carries no reviews for the company, so the registration is the thing to raise first. Massachusetts ties the Home Improvement Contractor Guaranty Fund to a current registration, which makes "has it been renewed, and what's the number today?" a fair opening question rather than a rude one. If the registration is current again, this reads as a small Boston outfit doing modest door and exterior jobs, recently enough to have been on a Nahant house last summer. If it isn't, that is the conversation to have before any deposit.
