Gomes Construction Co

Gomes Construction's name turns up where most home contractors' names don't: on Northampton municipal notices and MassDOT project pages, listed as the contractor for sidewalk reconstruction, streetscape improvements and pedestrian-safety work. In January 2015, BusinessWest reported that Westmass had selected the Ludlow company as the local contractor for a phase of its project. This is a site-work and public-infrastructure outfit first. The Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office certifies it as both a Women Business Enterprise and a Portuguese Business Enterprise under registration 19880018, active through June 2029 — registry-backed certifications of the kind that matter in public bidding. Customer commentary is thin and dated. Google shows 3.7 from 9 ratings, and the four written accounts on file all come from 2021. The most useful one came from someone who works alongside them: in a February 2021 review, a contractor said Gomes had been on a couple of his projects and called the company one of the best around for site work, naming Mark Gomes and his crew. Two other 2021 reviewers mentioned friendly staff, quick service and the pricing on materials. The single one-star, from July 2021, was about noise — someone objecting to being woken at 6 a.m. Two paperwork notes before calling. Its BuildZoom permit profile lists the licence status as 'Unable To Verify' with no active licence on file, a BuildZoom score of 0, and one sampled 2004 Northampton building permit for a guard house. Its BBB profile, opened in 2018, is Not Rated — the bureau says it lacks sufficient information to grade the business — and is not accredited, with no complaints or government actions shown. For a town, a developer or a general contractor needing site work, the public contract history is the substance here. For work at a house, ask for current licence and registration numbers, a certificate of insurance and recent job references — the written customer history stops in 2021.
