John F Arsenault

The most concrete thing on file about John F Arsenault is a building permit: in 2021 he took a former club on Combination Street in Methuen and turned it into a single-family house — interior demolition first, then a $105,000 rebuild that added a second floor over the attic space and a deck. A few doors down at number 16, the same year, a kitchen came out and went back in, and a new bathroom went into a second-floor bedroom addition. That is the shape of the work: whole-house conversions and additions in his own town, plus the kitchens and bathrooms that come with them. BuildZoom lists kitchen, bathroom, basement and whole-home remodels and additions as what he takes on. What a homeowner will not find is any customer verdict. BuildZoom says outright that it has received no reviews for him, and no other source carries any. The BuildZoom score of 91 that sits at the top of his profile is built from permits and licence status, not from anyone who hired him — it is not a rating. On credentials, BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts construction supervisor licence, CS-077705, and says it checked it as active in July 2026. That is the directory's claim, not something confirmed here against the state. A construction supervisor licence is also the structural-work credential; it is separate from the Home Improvement Contractor registration that Massachusetts requires for residential remodeling, and no HIC registration appears on the listing. Worth a conversation if you have a Methuen renovation or an addition and you want someone who has already pulled permits for that kind of job locally. Before booking, look up CS-077705 yourself at the Department of Public Safety, ask whether he also carries an HIC registration for the non-structural side of the work, ask for a certificate of insurance, and ask for addresses of finished projects you can go and see — with no reviews anywhere, references are the only track record available.
