Jacobs Construction and Remodeling

Jacobs Construction and Remodeling is Thomas (Tom) Jacobs' Marblehead-based remodeling operation, and its record comes almost entirely from town permit filings rather than customer reviews — there isn't a written review on file to draw from. Those permits describe real, completed work: a 2021 wave of bathroom gut-renovations at four different Marblehead addresses, a $131,000 second-story addition built over a garage, and roughly $100,000 of window, skylight and roof-rot repair explicitly approved by Marblehead's historic district commission — the kind of oversight that comes with working on older homes in a historic town. The permit trail also runs back to 2000, with jobs in Beverly, Peabody, Westborough and Northborough. The licensing picture is mixed and worth reading carefully. Massachusetts' own registry shows Thomas Mark Jacobs' home improvement contractor registration (#116907) as expired. Separately, BuildZoom's own listing shows two more licenses under his name marked inactive and, in BuildZoom's words, 'at one point cancelled' — but also a newer Construction Supervisor license (#CS-122615, issued this past February) that BuildZoom says it verified as active as of June 2026. That's a directory's own check, not a state-registry verification on our end, but it suggests a lapsed registration followed by a fresh one rather than someone working without any license at all. A 2016 New England Home magazine feature credited Jacobs Construction-Remodeling as the builder on a transitional-style home — a nice signal of design credibility, though it's a single decade-old credit line with no further detail. Given how much history the permits show, ask directly about the current status of his HIC registration before signing anything, and confirm which license is active for your specific project.
