Lanfranco Construction

Lanfranco Construction works out of 18 Archibald Ave in Methuen, with Andres Lanfranco listed as the owner. The work it advertises is the big stuff — kitchens, bathrooms, basements, whole-home remodels and additions. Beyond that, there is very little to go on. BuildZoom is the only place that has anything on the company, and BuildZoom says outright that it has never received a review for them. No stars, no customer accounts, nothing from anyone who has actually hired them. The one thing worth raising is the registration. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts contractor registration numbered 158919 against this address and reports it as inactive, with an expiration date in March 2022 and a note that Massachusetts Consumer Affairs at one point showed it cancelled. BuildZoom describes the same number three different ways on the same page — once as a general contractor licence, once as a home improvement contractor registration, once as cancelled — so treat all of it as that directory's account rather than a settled fact. It also matters that BuildZoom's own score for the company is zero: that number is calculated from licence and permit records, not from any customer's opinion. Remodeling a kitchen or putting an addition on a house is exactly the kind of work Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration exists to cover, so this is the first question to settle. Ask Andres Lanfranco directly for the current registration number and check it yourself with the state's Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation before signing anything or paying a deposit. Ask for addresses of recent jobs too — with no reviews anywhere, references you can call are the only track record available.
