J. Caron Contracting, Inc.

J. Caron Contracting runs out of Pinehurst Avenue in Methuen, and the permits under its name are the bread-and-butter of a residential builder: a $125,000 addition in Methuen in 2024, a vinyl siding job and a garage stall, with older permits in Newburyport, Newton, Waltham and Belmont. BuildZoom lists two owners, James Caron and James Caron Jr. One thing to handle before anything else. On the state's Contractor Hub, home improvement contractor registration 162355 — filed under James D. Caron Jr., responsible person James Caron, at that same Methuen address — carries the status inactive. For an addition, siding or a garage in the Merrimack Valley, the permits under this name cover work of that size. Ask James Caron directly where the registration stands now and get the answer in writing, along with proof of insurance and a written scope and price, before any deposit changes hands.
