James Munroe

Sixty-one permits on BuildZoom, all in Methuen: James Munroe Construction is a hometown builder. The jobs behind those permits run large — four $628,922 foundation permits for contractor-condo buildings on Ayers Village Rd, a 40x60 garage, a garage stall with a master bedroom over it, a foundation repaired after an auto accident, a side-door replacement. The business works from 131 Washington St in Methuen, with James G Munroe listed as the responsible person and James Munroe as owner. On BuildZoom it lists kitchen, bathroom and basement remodels, whole-home remodeling and additions. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts construction supervisor licence, CS-037698, and a home improvement contractor registration, #106658 — a company registration alongside a supervisor's own licence is the normal pairing, not a mismatch. Check both numbers on the state's registry before you sign. Most of those 61 permits sit in earlier years; the most recent one on the page was pulled in 2023, for a job in the $50,000-$100,000 range. A sensible call for a Methuen homeowner planning an addition, a garage or structural work rather than a quick fix. Ask how the condo-scale commercial jobs sit against the schedule for a house-sized project, and get licence standing, insurance and scope confirmed in writing.
