Ideal Property Maintenance Corporation

Thirty-nine years in, Ideal Property Maintenance is still a family-run Tewksbury shop with five employees on the books. The company describes itself as a Massachusetts remodeling and construction contractor doing additions, design/build, roofing, siding, windows, kitchens, baths and decks statewide since 1987, and BBB dates the corporation to January 1987 under president Debra A. Moore. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #108329, is active on the state registry in the company's own name, and BBB has accredited the business since March 2010 at an A+ grade. What they pull permits for is one- and two-family repair, roofing, siding, window, deck and basement work: BuildZoom lists 59 permitted projects spread across eastern and central Massachusetts, including three addresses in Methuen. About six of those fall in the last three years, two in each of 2023, 2024 and 2025. Deleading is on the service list as well — BBB includes it, two 2018 permits in Lowell were deleading jobs, and a HomeAdvisor page at the same Lake Street address is titled Ideal Deleading and Painting Inc., written in the company's legal name. BuildZoom lists three EPA lead-abatement and renovation registrations for the firm (LBP-104644-2, NAT-104644-2 and NAT-104644-3). If lead work is part of your project, ask to see the current certification and check it against the EPA's own register before anyone starts. Two other things to settle on a first call. Who will actually be running your job: BuildZoom names Lawrence Moore and Brian Moore as owners, while BBB names Debra A. Moore as president. And how long they have been at it, since the company's own HomeAdvisor copy says over 20 years in one place and 39 years in another. A long-established general contractor to talk to about an addition or an exterior job on an older house.
