Verified record
J Serven and Son Construction is a Marblehead contractor listed at 387 Atlantic Avenue. Its Houzz profile says the business was established in 1984 and describes residential and commercial building, remodeling, and renovation work; the profile places it among woodworkers and carpenters. BuildZoom lists 16 permitted projects and identifies John K Serven as a general contractor in Marblehead. The available third-party footprint includes an undated complaint alleging that J Serven and Son Construction took $10,000 from an elderly couple and did not complete the work. There are no customer reviews on the cited profiles. Licensing needs to be settled before any new contract. The Massachusetts registry record says HIC license 112910 is revoked, with John Serven as the holder of record; BuildZoom likewise reports that license 112910 was revoked on June 27, 2026 and says it could not verify an active license. The permitted-project history may help identify the type of work performed, but the license issue and complaint make independent verification essential. Confirm the current license status directly with Massachusetts, obtain a written scope and payment schedule, and check recent references before considering a project.
