Hub Construction & Maintenance

Hub Construction & Maintenance is a Hull-based outfit that, by its own Better Business Bureau listing, has been doing business for 42 years, with Paul Gratta as the owner on file. It holds an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license — the credential a homeowner actually wants checked before letting anyone start tearing into a house. The paper trail backing that longevity is consistent rather than dramatic. BuildZoom scores it 97 out of 100 and separately flags its license as verified, the Better Business Bureau grades it A+, and Google shows a 4.9-star average. What's missing is volume: those Google stars come from only ten ratings, and the handful of written reviews on file are positive but sparse, so there isn't a deep bench of detailed, first-hand accounts to weigh the ratings against. Worth asking about directly: the company has never pursued BBB accreditation despite the A+ grade, and some directories list no reviews for it at all even where Google shows activity — the online record is thinner and less consistent across sources than the star ratings alone suggest. For someone in Hull or nearby South Shore towns who wants a long-tenured, licensed general contractor and is comfortable doing some of their own reference-checking, this is a reasonable name to call — just ask to see a couple of recent jobs, since the public paper trail won't do that work for you.
