HG CONSTRUCTION COMPANY

Thirty-seven building permits are recorded for H.G. Construction on BuildZoom — for a Lexington general contractor, that permit trail is the bulk of what it has built. Its Houzz listing covers home remodeling, general contracting, home additions, new home construction and garage building across a broad Massachusetts service area, alongside two posted projects and a Houzz badge. What a customer has written about them goes back to 2012: a one-star BuildZoom review with the word awful, which BuildZoom says the owner disputed. BuildZoom also lists three Massachusetts home improvement contractor registrations for the company — #127799, #129599 and #174882 — plus an EPA renovation certification; check those numbers against the state's licence register yourself before signing anything. Best suited to an addition, a garage or a new build where you are ready to do your own diligence: ask for the addresses and phone numbers of a few recent Lexington-area clients you can call, and get scope, schedule and payment terms in writing.
