JR'S Home Improvement is a New Bedford general contractor run by Jose Raposo (known as Joe), who says he is a licensed Construction Supervisor and has offered residential and commercial remodeling — additions, roofing, siding, decks and more — to New Bedford, Dartmouth, Fall River, and Fairhaven; a 2010 review from a client of 12 years suggests the business goes back to at least the late 1990s. The specifics that do exist point in a good direction. In an August 2023 review, a customer described Joe replacing a front porch and back stairs, texting a daily update and sending weekly photo reports of the progress — a level of communication the reviewer called meticulous. In a 2010 review, a homebuyer described Joe bringing in outside plumbers and electricians during a due-diligence inspection to make sure the cost estimates on a home he was considering buying were accurate, calling the writeup detailed and specific. Another 2010 review, from a client of over a decade at that point, called him trustworthy "around all my pets and my family." The company's own site lists a Construction Supervisor license number and a separate home improvement contractor registration number, though neither has been checked against the state registry — worth confirming directly before signing a contract. The reviews on file run from 2010 through 2024 with a long stretch in between, so it's also worth asking what work they've done most recently. For general remodeling, additions, or exterior work like porches and decks around New Bedford, this is a contractor with some detailed, positive accounts spanning many years — just verify the license numbers and get a recent reference given how sparse and dated most of what's written is.
