Evandro Mendes Construction

Evandro Mendes Construction shows up mostly in permit filings: eight projects listed on BuildZoom, mostly around Dorchester, Mattapan and the greater Boston area, valued between $3,500 and $28,000. BuildZoom gives owner Evandro Mendes a score of 100, which it places in the 87th percentile of Massachusetts contractors. The company works out of New Bedford — 160 Purchase St on its Angi and HomeAdvisor pages — and its own Thumbtack bio says seven years in business with eight employees, alongside 51 project photos. The work it lists runs across the general-contracting range: framing, decks, floors, cabinet installation, painting, acoustic ceiling tile and post-construction clean-up. Customers have written one line. An October 2024 Angi review says "Yes, I recommend this pro"; the HomeAdvisor page is the same profile carrying that same review, and the 5.0 on Thumbtack comes from a single review imported from another site, which Thumbtack says it cannot verify. One thing to settle before anyone starts work: the state registry shows the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #212470, as expired, and BuildZoom lists that same number as inactive — while the Thumbtack bio describes the business as licensed and insured. BuildZoom separately lists a construction supervisor licence, CS-117637, for Evandro Mendes. For a defined, visible job — a deck, a floor, a room repainted — the permit history is something to go on. Ask for the current home improvement contractor registration and a certificate of insurance before signing, and get the scope and the price in writing.
