Jose A Garcia

A hundred and fourteen permits, with the typical job around $7,000: the work Jose A Garcia does out of East Boston is the steady small-and-medium kind — kitchens, baths, basements and additions, plus shingle roof repairs and EPDM flat-roof work in the permit history. About 19 of those permits have come in the last three years. Interior and exterior renovation and general home improvement are what the business lists; BuildZoom names Jose A Garcia as the owner at 6 Barnes Ave. Its BuildZoom score of 103 is built from permit activity rather than from customer comments. Four Massachusetts licence records appear on that page — home improvement contractor numbers 147394, 127556 and 158235, and plumber licence 15172. Check which of them stands today with the state's Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation, and with the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters for the plumbing number, before you hire. For a bathroom, a finished basement or a roof patch, this is a contractor with a long list of permitted jobs behind the quote. Get the scope in writing, ask who pulls the permit, and confirm insurance.
