Jose A Garcia

A hundred and fourteen building permits and not one customer review — that is the whole shape of what is publicly known about Jose A Garcia. The permit trail is the substance. BuildZoom keeps a file at 6 Barnes Ave in East Boston, filed under the name Jose R Garcia with Jose A Garcia listed as an owner, showing 114 permitted projects and roughly 19 across the past three years, typically around $7,000 apiece. The work runs across kitchens, bathrooms, basements, whole-home remodels and additions rather than any single trade, with shingle roof repair and EPDM among the jobs on file. What is missing is the homeowner's side of it. BuildZoom states it has received no reviews for this contractor at all, so there is nothing here from anyone who actually hired him — and the BuildZoom score of 103 on that page is calculated from permit activity, not from anything a customer said. Treat it as a measure of how much filed work exists, not of how the work went. Licensing deserves a phone call before anything else. BuildZoom lists four separate Massachusetts records against this one contractor: a home improvement contractor registration it marks active as of March 2026, a plumber number it labels active while simultaneously flagging it 'License Not Verified', and two further home improvement contractor numbers both marked inactive or cancelled. Those are the directory's own entries rather than confirmed credentials, and two lapsed registrations sitting beside a third active one is a tangle worth untangling directly with the state before any money changes hands. Worth a look for permitted remodeling work around East Boston on the strength of a long filed permit history. Before booking, ask which registration number is current, confirm it yourself with the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation, and ask for references — none are published anywhere here.
