Head Above Builders LLC

Head Above Builders is a one-employee Haverhill LLC that takes on whole-house jobs. Its permits cover a gut renovation, bathroom renovations, and a siding and window replacement in Haverhill, plus a garage and mudroom addition in Middleton valued around $171,000. Nolan Murphy is the co-owner, the company was incorporated 5/27/2015, and the Better Business Bureau counts 11 years in business and grades it A+ without accreditation. One thing to settle before anything else: the state registry shows its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #196880, as expired. Ask whether it has been renewed, and look the number up in the state's own register before signing anything. On the work, BuildZoom shows 5 out of 5 from two ratings. For a Haverhill-area project of real size — a gut renovation, an addition, siding and windows done in one go — the permits show that is the scale Murphy works at, with one employee and subcontracted trades to fill out a crew. Get the registration question answered in writing first, ask who actually swings the hammers on a job that size, and ask to see one of the recent Haverhill renovations.
