FMC Realty & Construction, Inc.

Start with the thing you need to settle before anything else: BBB carries an alert on FMC Realty & Construction reading "Out-of-Business known or suspected," and says it can't rate the company for that reason. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#174628) is active in the state registry, so the two sources point in different directions — call the Winthrop number and confirm they're still taking work before you plan around them. On paper it's a small Winthrop outfit at 13A Pauline St: three employees, Noel Constantino as principal, started in 2004 and incorporated in 2009, per BBB. The work it lists is whole-project residential — full-scale additions, kitchens, baths, finished basements, and custom carpentry. The written history is one review. In 2023 a homeowner described nine replacement windows, all-new siding and a new mud room, and said the job landed on time and on budget. That's a specific, multi-trade account and it reads well, but it is a single voice from three years ago, which is not enough to tell you how a job with them goes today. So: worth a call if you're in Winthrop and want a small shop for an addition or a remodel, and worth nothing at all if they've in fact closed. Confirm they're operating, get the HIC registration number in writing, and ask for references from work done in the last year or two.
