Kim Boucher

Forty-eight permitted projects, twelve of them in the past three years, nearly all of them in Methuen — Kim Boucher Construction is about as local as a builder gets. The work in that record is the bread and butter of an established town outfit: family-room and garage additions, multi-room and basement remodels, bathroom remodels including tub-to-walk-in-shower conversions, Trex deck rebuilds, replacement windows and cedar siding. A typical permit runs about $15,800; the biggest was a $246,517 addition on University Lane, with one job further out in Newburyport. The business runs from 71 Harvard Ave with Kim Boucher and Nick Boucher both listed as owners, phone (978) 995-1801. On credentials, BuildZoom lists one: a Massachusetts construction supervisor licence, CS-106518, which it calls verified active as of July 2026 and attributes to Kim Boucher at this exact address. That is the directory's record rather than a state registry check, and it is worth confirming yourself — particularly because no home improvement contractor registration appears alongside it, even though the same page notes one is required for nonstructural residential work. A construction supervisor licence and an HIC registration do different jobs, and for a bathroom or a deck the registration is the one that carries the guaranty-fund protection. No customer has written publicly about the work. BuildZoom publishes zero reviews for the company, and the score of 105 on its page comes from permits and licensing, not from anyone's experience. So the permit trail says steady, current, local work — and says nothing about how they communicate, schedule, or price. Ask for the HIC registration number as well as CS-106518, get both confirmed with the state, and ask for two recent Methuen customers you can call.
