Verified record
Healey Construction & Development, LLC is a general contractor based in Saugus, Massachusetts, run by James Healey. A May 2026 review describes a complete bathroom remodel, from planning through stripping the room to the studs and finishing the tile work, adding a laundry area to the upstairs bath along the way; the reviewer called the results outstanding. The company's Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor licence (#175089), registered to James Healey, shows as expired in the state registry. In a 2013 review, a customer described a change-order dispute that inflated a bill by $10,000, said the matter went to court and resulted in a judgment, and alleged the owner later filed for bankruptcy. Online ratings diverge sharply by platform: Google shows 5 stars from one rating tied to the 2026 bathroom project, while Angi and HomeAdvisor each show 1 star from a single, older, matching review of the 2013 dispute — the two platforms are mirroring the same account rather than adding independent data. Given the expired licence and the age gap between the one positive and one negative account on file, it's worth confirming current licensing and insurance directly with the company before booking, and asking for recent references.

Healey Construction & Development remodeled our bathroom ,first by planning then , stripping down to the studs , to the finish tile work ! It looks outstanding! We wanted to add our laundry area to the upstairs bath and Healey made that happen while allowing room for a spectacular walk in shower. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend them for any of your construction needs.
James Healey of Healey Construction and Development is a predator. He used a change order to present an bill inflated by $10,000. The court agreed in adjustment with me and ordered a judgement to me. He has since filed bankruptcy, I'm sure it's not because of the judgment to me. Look out he will insist that payments are made directly to him and not his business. Don't be fooled by the fact that know one has complained on line. This man is dishonest!
