Kearns Contracting Inc

Kearns Contracting Inc is a Cohasset construction company at 23 Elm Ct, trading since 1 January 2005 — twenty-one years — with four people on the books. The work runs from residential remodeling to substantial commercial jobs. BuildZoom's profile lists kitchen, bathroom, basement and whole-home remodels and additions, and its permit record bears that out at both ends of the scale: a 2009 permit at 155 Sohier Street in Cohasset for a 16 by 28-foot two-storey addition with a deck, and a 2015 Springfield permit — reactivated in 2022 — to repair an eight-family dwelling, valued at $1,634,202, covering roof, exterior egress stairs, masonry walls, replacement windows and doors, kitchens and baths. A veteran-owned business directory lists the company as veteran owned, Army, retired, with a membership dating to 29 April 2010, and describes it as specialising in construction, roofing and carpentry. That listing names Mr. Patrick Nee as president. Both the Better Business Bureau and BuildZoom name a different man, Mr. James Kearns, as president and owner — so who runs the company today, and whether the veteran-ownership description still holds, is worth asking directly. On credentials, BuildZoom reports two Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor numbers for the company: 169846, which it verified as active in March 2026, and an earlier 159682 that it records as inactive and once cancelled. Those are the directory's records rather than a state registry check, so confirm the current number yourself before signing. The Better Business Bureau does not rate the business and says it lacks sufficient information to do so; it is not accredited, and no complaints appear. For a South Shore homeowner planning an addition or a whole-home remodel, this is an established local outfit with a real permit history — the missing piece is customer feedback, so ask for two or three recent references and call them.
