James B Mitchell Construction Design

James B Mitchell Construction Design operates from 44 Michele Lane in Braintree under owner James Mitchell. BuildZoom's permit page records 35 permitted projects and a permit-derived score of 91, which it places in the top 37% of Massachusetts contractors, and it lists Construction Supervisor licence #CS-078136 as active, verified in July 2026 — a directory's check, not a state registry one. The published customer record is two accounts from 2025 pulling in opposite directions, and Google's average across five ratings sits at 3.4. In April 2025 a first-time customer with a rental unit that needed dated carpet swapped for vinyl flooring before going on the market said the quote came back promptly and competitively and the job was scheduled once agreed. In July 2025 someone looking for a full gut and remodel across two floors of their father's house wrote that they had called repeatedly, never had a call returned, and had begun to wonder whether the business was still open. Getting a reply, then, is the first thing to test. If calls go unanswered, that is the experience one customer already documented; if they come back quickly with a number, that matches the other. The licence picture also needs untangling before any money changes hands. BuildZoom's block carries eight records across six types: three different construction supervisor numbers, of which only CS-078136 is shown active while CS-054217 and CS-031183 are listed cancelled, plus a cancelled Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration #128711, a cancelled architect registration #2631, an inactive master pipefitter licence, and one number issued twice by the City of Newton under two different trades. For residential remodeling in Massachusetts, Home Improvement Contractor registration is the one that protects you, and the one on file here is listed cancelled. Ask directly for the current HIC registration and construction supervisor numbers, confirm both with the state yourself, and ask for references from jobs finished in the last year or two.
