Homeworx Contracting Inc

Homeworx Contracting Inc works out of 20 Brookline Street in Lawrence and is run by Dennis Turmel. It offers home remodeling, renovations and repairs, electrical work, carpentry and custom trim, and interior and exterior painting, and takes the same work into commercial spaces such as stores, restaurants and offices. Building-permit records give a clearer picture of the actual work than the marketing does. Seven permitted projects are on record, two of them in the past year, and they are the bread-and-butter of a small remodeling outfit: rebuilding a bedroom, office, hallway, bathroom and kitchen in Methuen after fire and water damage, a kitchen and living-room remodel in a Methuen condo, deck boards and railings replaced in Merrimac and Middleton, a front entry door and deck extension, and a kitchen remodel in Lowell. One 2022 permit is commercial, an alteration for a trampoline park in Methuen. The customer feedback is where a homeowner should be cautious, because there is very little of it and it splits hard. Only two reviews exist, both older than the past six months: a 2024 review from someone who hired the company for work at both their own home and a multi-family property said every job finished inside the quoted timeframe, and a 2022 review said the opposite, reporting poor follow-up and a job left incomplete. Google's own average of 3 stars across those two ratings is the arithmetic of that split, not a settled reputation. With two data points four years apart, ask for references from jobs finished in the last year. On credentials, the company publishes a Massachusetts HIC registration, a Construction Supervisor Licence, and electrical licences for both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The HIC number it claims, 189503, matches the number BuildZoom lists and says it confirmed active in April 2026 — good corroboration, though neither is a check you should skip doing yourself. One thing to raise directly: the two federal EPA renovation registrations listed for this company are both marked inactive and reported as having been cancelled. That certification is what governs disturbing paint in pre-1978 housing, which describes much of Lawrence's stock, so confirm current lead-safe certification before any work on an older home.
