Jad Contracting LLC

JAD Contracting LLC is a two-person company at 89 Hancock St in Stoneham, Massachusetts, run by John A. DiNitto Jr. Its work is exterior and glass: replacement windows, vinyl, wood, cedar and fiber-cement siding, entry and patio doors, decks and farmer's porches, soffit, shower enclosures and glass cutting and screens, with the occasional commercial storefront. It holds Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration 146596, which the state registry confirms is active and recorded in the company's own name — BuildZoom's listing of the same number agrees with the registry. The Better Business Bureau grades the company A+, and separately records that it is not a BBB-accredited business; the two things are independent of each other. The permit record is the deepest evidence here. Building-permit filings show 29 permitted projects, heavily weighted to replacement windows, siding, doors and decks in Stoneham, Methuen, Lowell, Brookline, Belmont, Danvers, Peabody, Westford and Somerville — but only two of those in the past three years, so the recent pace is slow. Notably, no kitchen or bathroom remodels appear anywhere in that permit history, which fits a window, siding and glass specialist rather than a whole-room renovator. Customer feedback is thin and dated. Google shows a 5-star average from three ratings, and only two written reviews exist anywhere on file, both from 2022; every other directory the company appears on — BuildZoom, Houzz, Porch, BBB — carries no reviews at all. That means there is no recent first-hand account of how the company performs today. BuildZoom's score of 97 is calculated from permit records, not from customers, and should not be read as a rating. Before hiring, ask for references from jobs finished in the last year, since the public record has almost nothing recent, and confirm HIC 146596 directly with the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs on the day you sign. Ask too how long the company itself has been trading: the directories disagree, with BBB and Porch putting the start at 2005 and BuildZoom saying 16 years, while the company's own site describes 22 years of experience gained working under other contractors.
