Ibrahim E Geha

Twenty-five permits pulled out of Methuen town hall, and not one customer review anywhere — Ibrahim E Geha is a contractor you can trace through paperwork but not through opinion. The permit trail, run from 610 Prospect Street under owner Ibrahim Geha, reads like a working general contractor's ledger rather than a specialist's. Roofs dominate the older end of it: strip-and-reroof jobs on Howe Street, Erhardt Terrace, Berlin Street, Pleasant Street and Rivers Edge Place, most of them specifying 30-year architectural shingles with ice-and-water shield and new drip edge. Around that sit a 12-by-16 deck addition on Chestnut Way, a 13-window-and-3-door replacement on Arlington Street, a 2024 kitchen remodel and a front-steps-and-portico job on Lippold Street. BuildZoom lists the offered work as kitchen, bathroom, basement and whole-home remodels plus additions. The work is not purely residential. A 2018 restaurant buildout in Peabody carried a $750,000 valuation, and two of the Methuen permits are commercial office jobs — a post-fire interior rebuild on Pleasant Valley Street and an entry patio with a handicap ramp on East Street. Anyone hiring for a house should ask how much of the schedule commercial work is taking. On credentials, BuildZoom shows two Massachusetts records it labels verified: construction supervisor CS-098632 and a home improvement contractor registration, 160016, issued in November 2025. Those are the directory's claims, not a check we made, and BuildZoom itself recommends confirming status with the Department of Public Safety and the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. Do that before signing anything. Two numbers on the page deserve a caution. The BuildZoom score of 93 is built from licence and permit records, not from customers — BuildZoom states outright it has received no reviews here, so nothing on the page tells you what the finished work looks like or how the job ran. And the page's pricing panel showing a $500k-$1mil project traces to a single permit line that puts $562,024 against new front steps, an 8-by-10 portico and one entry door, which is a permit-record error rather than a real project value. A handful of permits also appear two and three times over, so the 25-project count is inflated. This is a reasonable call for Methuen roofing, window and door replacement, and deck or entry work — the town's own permit records show years of it. With zero customer commentary in existence, ask for references and addresses from recent jobs, and confirm both registrations yourself.
