Jimenez Top Construction

Everything known about Jimenez Top Construction comes from its own website. The Peabody company says Carlos Jimenez founded it, and that it works across the North Shore on renovations, remodeling, additions, outdoor projects and property-flip upgrades for investors. Its own numbers are ambitious: 15 years of experience, more than 500 completed projects, three offices statewide. Those figures are the company's claim about itself, and no independent account of the work sits beside them. That is a reason to do your own checking rather than a mark against the company. Ask for the addresses of two or three recent jobs near you, the name of the supervisor who would actually run yours, and current insurance certificates — and confirm the home improvement contractor registration with the state before any deposit changes hands.
