Jefferson M Romano

Jefferson M Romano runs a one-man general contracting business out of Swansea, and his permits run far past the South Coast — Dorchester, Roslindale, West Roxbury, South Boston, Boylston, Taunton, Attleboro, Dighton, South Yarmouth, Newburyport and Marblehead. Eighty-five permits sit on his BuildZoom profile, 33 of them in the past three years: 13 in 2023, 17 in 2024 and 3 in 2025. The typical job is modest, around $18,300, with a range from under $5,000 to one project in the $500,000-to-$1 million band. BuildZoom's own breakdown of the work puts him mostly on kitchen remodels and home additions — six kitchens, five additions and four multi-room remodels. Exterior work runs through the filings too. A June 2023 job in Marblehead, filed at $31,500 and marked complete, covered a 12-by-24 deck with gutter, a small front porch roof with columns and a cupola, and a four-season room rebuilt with a rubber roof and three sliding doors. A $60,000 South Yarmouth project in 2022 stripped the siding for cedar shingles, replaced trim and the front and side doors, and re-roofed the house. A 2021 South Boston job at $58,100 covered windows, exterior doors, sheathing, soffit trim and siding, and 2024 brought foam insulation, new siding and a roof overlay in Taunton plus a window replacement in West Roxbury. The filings are overwhelmingly residential, with three commercial exceptions — an office-to-church change of occupancy on Bowdoin Street valued at $613,956, a retail slab foundation on Winthrop Street in Taunton, and a cabinet job in Attleboro — and one ground-up house in Dighton from 2024, valued at $208,000, whose permit is listed as expired. If your project is a new build, that is the one to ask about. His Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #165738, is active on the state registry under Jefferson Matos Romano, and BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts construction supervisor licence, #CS-103363. He is the only employee listed, so for an addition or a kitchen, ask who else will be on site and how the schedule is staffed, and get the scope and proof of insurance in writing before work starts.
