Gerard Raffaele Construction

Everything on the public file for Gerard Raffaele Construction, based at 17 Old Farm Rd. in Reading, comes down to a single line in the state registry: Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration 166229, held by Gerard Raffaele, now expired. That is a fact about the paperwork, not a verdict on the work. A registration that existed and lapsed is a different thing from one that was never needed, and it is the first thing to raise on a call: ask whether the registration has since been renewed, get the current number, and confirm insurance before any residential work begins. There is little else to weigh here yet, so treat this as a starting point rather than a judgment.
