Manuel Carreiro Painting

The single most important thing to know about Manuel Carreiro Painting, of 375 Highland Ave in North Dartmouth, is a paperwork one: the Massachusetts registry holds Home Improvement Contractor registration #136604 in the name Manuel Carreiro, and it comes back expired. That matters in Massachusetts, where an active HIC registration is what gives a homeowner access to the state's Guaranty Fund if a residential job goes wrong. BuildZoom's listing still shows the same number as active with an August 2026 expiry, so the two disagree — ask to see the current registration card before signing anything. The work itself is carpentry-led. BuildZoom lists doors and windows, framing, deck repair, finish carpentry, and decks and porches, and records Manuel Carreiro as owner. There is no customer history to weigh — BuildZoom holds no reviews and no permit record for the business — so nothing here says how the jobs turn out. For a small deck or trim job from a long-standing local name this may be fine; confirm the registration status and insurance first, and ask for two or three recent local references.
