Joe Cunningham Remodeling

Joe Cunningham Remodeling has been pulling permits out of Stoneham since 1994, by BuildZoom's count — three decades of remodeling and general construction under owner Joe Cunningham, with five projects posted on that profile. The paperwork is the first thing to settle. The state registry shows the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #111476, as expired, and BuildZoom lists the same number with a 12-28-1994 expiration date. Ask where that registration stands today, and get current insurance certificates, before any contract is signed. In a March 2013 Google review, a neighbor wrote that a company truck had sat outside his kitchen window for two months and that his calls asking to have it moved went nowhere. Its Google page averages 3.5 stars from two ratings. A homeowner looking at Joe Cunningham Remodeling for a remodel should start with those two questions — registration and insurance — and then ask for two or three recent local jobs to look at and owners to call.
