Hillier Design Build Inc

The permit trail says more about Hillier Design Build than anything else on file: 11 projects between 2015 and 2024, the smallest around $6,000, the largest $427,000. Charles Hillier runs the company from 180 Winthrop St in Rehoboth, and the work splits two ways. On the residential side there are additions, kitchen and bath remodels and deck work in Attleboro, North Attleboro, Peabody and Billerica; on the commercial side, interior fit-out permits in Attleboro and Boston. That's a design-build outfit used to pulling structural permits, not a single-trade specialist. Licensing is where a homeowner should slow down. BuildZoom lists construction supervisor licence CS-090788 and says it confirmed that number active as of July 2026 — the licence that covers structural work. The same page shows Home Improvement Contractor registration #153014 as inactive, and says Massachusetts Consumer Affairs had it recorded as cancelled at one point. HIC registration is the one that governs nonstructural residential remodeling, so ask directly whether it's current before signing for a kitchen or an addition. What's missing is the human part: no customer has written publicly about hiring them, and BuildZoom is the only place they surface. The permits show real, steadily filed work over nine years; they say nothing about how the job went. Worth a quote if your project is in the Attleboro–Rehoboth area and needs a licensed supervisor — then ask for two or three recent clients you can call, and settle the HIC question first.
