Haggar Building & Remodeling LLC

Haggar Building & Remodeling has 269 recorded building permits behind it — a long working history for a Methuen shop — but the typical one runs about $1,100, and roughly 18 have come in the last three years. That shape reads less like a big-remodel outfit than a steady run of small permitted jobs. Start with the paperwork. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, 197598, is expired on the state registry, and BuildZoom lists three earlier registrations as inactive or cancelled alongside it. The same profile lists an active Massachusetts electrician licence, #14963, and construction supervisor licence CS-089581, both of which BuildZoom says it checked in June 2026 — that is the directory's listing, not a state confirmation. The written customer record runs to August 2017 and splits cleanly in two. In one review that month, a homeowner walked through a basement shower install in real detail: a competitive bid, work starting within a week, and the original floor drain pipe embedded in concrete cut out, replaced with PVC and relocated to meet the new shower base. Ten days earlier, another writer described the opposite experience — an appointment Mr. Haggar had confirmed, a drive back early from a vacation home to make it, then no one there and no answer to the follow-up text. Those two average 3.0 on BuildZoom, and the one Google rating on file is a 1★. He is worth a call for a small, permit-scale job if you settle the registration question first: ask directly about the expired home improvement contractor registration, and for names and addresses from recent work, since the accounts you can actually read are nine years old.
