MARCHIS CONTRACTING

Twenty-five permits on file and two written reviews to show for them — that gap is the first thing to know about Marchis Contracting. The company works out of 18 Kenwood Ave in Wilmington under Miron A Marchis, and BuildZoom's profile records that 25-permit history alongside a BZ score of 102. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #182643, is active on the state registry under Miron Marchis. A Massachusetts construction supervisor licence, CS-090065, is expired there; BuildZoom shows that same number as inactive, plus an inactive home improvement number, #146503. The written accounts are few and old, but they are real. In a 2016 Houzz review, a homeowner called the work "like a piece of art," and singled out the quality, the attention to detail, and a contractor who was patient and a good listener. Nine years earlier, a 2007 Angi customer said they could not say enough about the work he does, and that he wants to get the job done in a timely matter. Houzz shows one 5-star rating and a single project; Angi's page displays a 0.0-star average that its own review contradicts. Where the company sits depends on which directory you read. BuildZoom has it in Wilmington, Houzz in Medford — same phone number — and Angi at 317 Main Street in Somerville. The Angi profile also claims 24 years of experience, free estimates and Spanish spoken; Houzz files the company under Kitchen & Bath Remodelers, and between them the two directories list home remodeling, kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions and decks. The permit trail here is long and the review trail is short. For a kitchen, bath or basement project around Wilmington, ask to walk a couple of those permitted jobs and speak with the owners, confirm which address and service area apply to you, and check which licence covers the work you are planning.
