Joseph Mitrano Contracting

Joseph Mitrano runs a one-person contracting business out of Nahant, and what stands out is the range: a basement's lolly columns, a second-floor deck, an egress staircase, a house's siding. The lolly-column job is the one worth reading. In a 2022 review a homeowner described the columns replaced and the house lifted two inches — no cracked walls, no doors that stopped closing, the dumpster off the property within 90 minutes of the last cut. A structural job described without a single complication. Seven ratings sit behind the 4.8 average that Angi and HomeAdvisor both publish, and they run positive without exception: a 2022 customer on the on-time start, the daily cleanup and the polite crew; a 2019 customer on a quote that arrived with a detailed plan inside ten minutes and flexible scheduling. BBB grades the business A+ and publishes no complaints, though it is not accredited. Both directories record nine years of experience and Spanish spoken. The licences are the thing to check yourself. BuildZoom lists three registrations under this name — construction supervisor CS-112102 with a March 2024 expiration, home improvement contractor 191412, and a Newton electrical licence — and calls all three inactive. BBB separately prints 191412, attributing it to the state building-regulations board. None of that is a confirmation from the state's own register, in either direction. Permits say the work has continued regardless: a June 2025 Nahant permit valued at $12,850 to demolish and rebuild a second-floor back deck and repair the rubber roof, following a 2022 Danvers siding, framing and drywall permit at $22,500. A sensible call for a mid-size structural or exterior job around Nahant. Before signing, ask for the current licence and registration numbers and check them against the state registers yourself — and note that the written reviews stop in October 2022.
