J.E.P. Contracting, Inc.

J.E.P. Contracting is a design-build shop in Millbury: custom homes, whole-house renovations, additions and kitchens — the jobs where one firm draws the plans and then builds them. Patrick Perkins founded it in 2001 and says construction has been his life's work for more than 35 years. The credentials are the standout. The Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active and held in the company's own name. The site adds a Construction Supervisor Licence, lead-safe renovation certification, and two hoisting engineer tickets — telescoping booms and excavators — all its own claims rather than anything checked here. More telling: two people besides Perkins hold Construction Supervisor Licences, the production manager and the design-and-estimating lead. The qualifications aren't parked with one person. What is missing is customers speaking for themselves. No independent review has been published, so there is nothing outside the company's own pages on how projects actually run, or whether they hold their schedule and budget. If you're weighing a whole-house renovation or a new build in Worcester County and want design and construction under one contract, this is a registered outfit worth shortlisting. Ask for the Construction Supervisor Licence number, and for two homeowners whose projects wrapped in the past year.
