MCC, Inc.

MCC, Inc. — The MCC Group on its own site — is a Tyngsboro general contractor that has deliberately stayed inside one map. It says it works only in Greater Boston and southern New Hampshire, and it is explicit about why: knowing the building and inspection departments in Lowell, Methuen, Dracut and Nashua is the point, not a side effect. For a homeowner, that is a real thing to buy — permitting is where jobs stall. Christopher Ortiz, the president, runs field operations and says he has 25 years in construction, starting at 17 in Lowell; Miguel Picanco, the vice president, handles finances, licences and certifications. Both are named co-founders. The company says it has completed contracts anywhere from $25,000 to $10.5 million since starting out, which is a very wide band, and its Better Business Bureau file — opened in 2016, graded A+, not accredited — lists exactly one employee. Those two facts sit oddly beside each other; a firm delivering eight-figure projects with one payrolled person is subcontracting heavily, which is worth understanding before you sign. The two sources also disagree on how long it has been going: the company dates itself to 2012, while BBB records the business as started 1 January 2014. What is missing is anyone's account of a finished job. No customer has written about this company on any platform we can reach, so everything above is either the company's own description or a registry entry. If you are hiring in the Merrimack Valley, that makes references the whole ballgame: ask for two or three recent projects of your size in your town, ask which parts the crew does and which go to subs, and confirm the current registration number yourself on the state's Contractor Hub.
