Leland M. Hussey Contractor is a Lynn-based remodeler whose real footprint is Marblehead: permit records show 72 projects there and in nearby towns over 18 years - additions, garages, decks, kitchen and bathroom renovations, and a commercial fit-out - with a typical permit value around $93,000 and stated jobs ranging from $4,000 tune-ups to $1.5 million builds across a 21-town North Shore and Boston service area. The written reviews on file are older but consistently detailed and positive - eleven in total, ten five-star and one four-star, all but one dated 2016. In a 2016 review, one client described a full second-floor overhaul completed while pregnant with a toddler in the house, with the crew keeping dust contained and the space swept clean every day; another 2016 review described a kitchen and bathroom remodel in an old house where hidden issues came up mid-project and the company presented options rather than pushing the priciest fix. A 2016 review described a commercial stud-and-drywall job with an urgent two-week deadline that the crew started within three days. The company's most recent review, from December 2020, described a second job for a repeat client - a bay window and full window replacement - again citing a clear quote process and an attentive lead, Marcone. Named crew members recur across the reviews (Azriel Shiloh, Marcone, Jamison, and a trio identified as Azzie, Kermit, and Roberto), a sign of a stable core team rather than rotating subs. Licensing needs a careful read here. The state registry confirms Leland M. Hussey's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 101743, is now expired. Houzz and BuildZoom separately publish a different, active-status number - Construction Supervisor license CS-032197 - which is the individual license that typically sits alongside a company's HIC registration rather than replacing it; BuildZoom says it verified CS-032197 as active as of June 2026. Worth flagging: BuildZoom's own page is internally inconsistent, marking 101743 inactive/cancelled in its structured license data while its auto-generated summary text claims both numbers are 'active when we last checked.' There's no negative account anywhere in the record - reviews, permits, or otherwise - but the review pool is small and dated, and the HIC registration lapse is worth asking about directly before signing a contract.
We hired Leland's company to help us fix a bay window and replace windows in our condo. That's the 2nd time we've worked with them. They were very professional, from the initial contact and quote process all the way to the installation on side. Marcone was the lead during the work and took great care of us. He spent time explaining us what was going on, give us options when choices had to be made. The work was of quality and they paid attention to details. Would work with them again in a heartbeat.
Lee did a major renovation of our kitchen and great room last year. The work was absolutely top notch. His rates were competitive. His crew were polite, professional, and pleasant to be around. This is key when having workers in your home for several months. Lee pays attention to detail and understands what works and what doesn't. When input was needed on major decisions, he was able to contribute in a way that was helpful, yet made us feel like the decision came from us uninfluenced. There really were no major issues. While every project will have it's snafu(s), ours were minimal at best and were resolved immediately. In addition to our absolutely beautiful kitchen and great room that we now enjoy immensely, we are also overjoyed that we have "our contractor" for any future projects.
Lee Hussey had previously renovated a spare bedroom in our house into a study, complete with fireplace, which we were very happy with, so we went back to him when we needed an outdoor patio/deck. Azriel Shiloh was the project manager and he was very helpful and responsive. He also is extremely professional. The project was done quickly, on time, within budget, and the results were beautiful. Azriel also has a great feel for design and gave us some suggestions that we incorporated into the final plan. We enjoy that patio every day!
Leland Hussey Contracting did an excellent job remodeling our kitchen and bathroom. The quality of the work was excellent and the team was responsive to the tweaks we wanted to make along the way. We live in an old house and during the process uncovered issues that would have added to the cost of the job. Lee always presented us with the range of options and never pushed us toward the most expensive solution. We also enjoyed working with Shannon Croft a design firm that partners with Lee on many jobs. The crew was respectful and friendly, making it not as hard to have a bunch of strangers in the house for many weeks. We are very pleased with the work and highly recommend Lee and his team.
We have worked with Lee and his team on gut remodels of a bathroom and our kitchen. They and the subs they used were great to work with and did very nice work
