John J Danca

John J Danca works out of Mansfield, and his permit record says one thing clearly: this is largely a roofing business. Twenty-nine permitted projects are on file and roof replacements dominate them. The roofing runs across the eastern half of the state. Three Milton addresses — one at $26,000 for asphalt shingles plus gutter replacement, two more for 18-square CertainTeed shingle jobs. A $31,218 asphalt shingle roof replacement at 7 Mill Pond in Marblehead in 2024. A $17,787 job in North Attleboro covering the main roof and a flat roof over a sunroom, and a small $3,321 sunroom roof down in Falmouth. A Brockton permit is typed for roof, windows and siding together. The most involved job on file is a $38,000 Attleboro repair after tree damage to an attached two-car garage — roof rafters, sheathing and shingles replaced and the exterior walls and siding repaired. Worth knowing: that permit's recorded status is "permit revoked", which is a question to put to him directly rather than a conclusion to draw. Away from roofs, there is an $81,000 basement finish in North Attleboro and two $200,000 commercial fit-outs converting retail units into a pediatric primary care office. The licence records are messy and need untangling before you sign anything. Two different Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor numbers, 187844 and 182414, are both listed as simultaneously active; two more, 125001 and 139999, are recorded as cancelled. A Construction Supervisor licence, CS-055932, is listed active while an earlier one, CS-025421, is cancelled. The listing itself suggests why: it names John Danca, John J Danca and John J. Danca Jr., a junior and senior sharing a profile. Ask which registration belongs to the person who will actually run your job, get that number, and check it with the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation — with the Construction Supervisor licence checked separately at the Department of Public Safety. The customer record is one review, and it is thin in two ways. It dates from March 2019, and the writer opened with "I've done business with John" and described no work on their own home, so it may be a trade or business relationship rather than a homeowner hiring him. They called him a pleasure to work with, knowledgeable and good at what he does. He is a reasonable candidate for a shingle roof replacement, gutters or storm-damage repair across the South Shore and Greater Boston. Given how little is written about him, ask for two or three recent roofing references you can call, confirm which licence numbers are current under the right name, and ask about the revoked Attleboro permit before you commit.
