Fontes Home Improvements, LLC

Fontes Home Improvements is a family-run general contracting shop working out of New Bedford, doing kitchen, bathroom, basement and whole-home remodels and additions. Maria and Jose Fontes have run it since the business started in 2000 and incorporated in 2006 — 26 years and counting, per its BBB listing. Building permit records back that history up: a 2019 New Bedford job built three new kitchens and three new bathrooms for $36,000, a 2022 Acushnet project ran $39,000, and more recent work includes a 2023 front porch rebuild in Acushnet and a 2022 bathroom renovation and kitchen cabinet install in Taunton. Reroofing and porch-repair permits in the Brockton and East Taunton area go back as far as 2004. The one thing to confirm before hiring: the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor license shows as expired in the state registry, with BuildZoom listing an expiration date of August 6, 2024. Ask directly about current licensing status before signing a contract. For kitchen, bathroom and whole-home remodel work in the New Bedford area, this is a long-running, small family operation with a real permitted project history — just verify the license is current first.
