John J Maribito

The most recent thing on John J Maribito's record is a Nahant roof. February 2025, 211 Castle Rd: the old roof stripped, six-foot widths of ice and water shield down on the eaves and valleys, a GAF shingle system with aluminum drip edge and cap shingles on the ridges and hips. $8,978, marked complete. The rest of the trail runs back two decades and sits mostly in Peabody — kitchen remodels one after another, an 18-by-24 addition in 2015, a basement finished for a TV room, windows changed, siding. Fifteen permitted projects in all, worked out of a Saugus address on Old County Rd. Then the flag. BuildZoom scores the profile 0 and prints an "ALERT — No active license on file" banner, listing both the Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #111298, and the construction supervisor licence, #CS-059112, as inactive and at one point cancelled. That does not square neatly with a town-issued roofing permit completed in February 2025. Directory licence records go stale, and this is BuildZoom's own listing rather than a check against the state registry — but it is the first thing to resolve. Nobody has written a review, so the permits are the whole story here. Ask him for his current Massachusetts registration number and check it against the state yourself. If it comes back active, there are twenty years of permitted remodeling and a recent local roof behind him — and it is fair to ask for a reference from that Nahant job.
