James Goudreault

James Goudreault works out of Haverhill, and the permit trail is where the work shows up: BuildZoom records ten permitted projects around Newburyport, Newbury and Merrimac — second-floor additions, deck rebuilds, window replacement, siding, and a kitchen and bathroom remodel — running from about $11,750 to $141,000, three of them in the past two years. The state registry shows his Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration as active. That spread — an addition or a deck at one end, windows and siding at the other — fits a Merrimack Valley homeowner who wants one builder for a kitchen or bathroom job that also touches the structure around it. Ask which of those recent projects is closest to yours, ask to speak with the homeowners who hired him for them, and get the scope, allowances and schedule in writing before signing.
