JR Builders Inc

JR Builders Inc is a general contracting company founded by Lawrence R. Palmisano in 1995, self-reporting 31 years building custom homes and handling commercial construction across the Merrimack Valley and Southern New Hampshire. The company's own site places it in Lawrence, MA, while BuildZoom and a 2024 news article list it in Methuen; either way, it says it serves Lawrence, Hooksett, Methuen, and Salem. Palmisano is described as a licensed Builder and Remodeler with a B.S. in Civil Engineering. A 2003 court case turns up too: a hearing assessed damages in favor of homeowners William and Maureen Buckley after cracks in the foundation let water into their basement. It's decades old, but it's the one documented account of a completed job here. More recently, a 2024 eagletribune.com article described Palmisano's plans to buy land on Amesbury Road and donate it to the city as open space. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license, #106501, for the company. The company's own site separately describes Palmisano as a licensed Builder and Remodeler in Massachusetts. This is worth a look for a custom home or commercial build in the Merrimack Valley or Southern NH from an owner with an engineering background; given the age and shape of the record here, ask directly about the 2003 foundation matter, confirm current licensing, and get references from a recent project before signing.
