Michael A. Farelli

Michael A. Farelli works out of Methuen, Massachusetts, and BuildZoom's profile describes a general contracting practice of 22 years handling residential remodeling — kitchens, bathrooms, basements, whole-home projects and additions. The permit record is the substantial part of this file. BuildZoom counts 87 permitted projects overall, four of them in the past three years, and the sampled permits are overwhelmingly electrical work at Methuen home addresses — service upgrades, panel replacements and interior wiring rather than the full-room remodels the services list leads with. He holds a Massachusetts Electrician licence (#20292) and a Construction Supervisor licence (#CS-095373), both of which BuildZoom badges as verified and shows as active, checked in April and June 2026 respectively. The customer record, by contrast, is thin and dated. Two reviews sit on the profile, spanning 2019 to 2025, and both are positive — the written feedback praises the explanation given up front and the fairness of the price. That is a small base to judge anyone on, and the most recent of the two is already more than a year old, so nothing here describes how the business is running now. Two things are worth pinning down before hiring. The first is the third licence: BuildZoom lists a Master Plumber record, #10201, with the status printed as Active while the heading above it reads 'License Not Verified' and the detail line notes an expiration date of July 2016 — a contradiction on the directory's own page, and reason to confirm any plumbing credential directly with the state before plumbing work is scoped. The second is BuildZoom's score of 99: it is derived from permits and licence status, not from customers, so it says nothing about how the finished work looked. For small electrical jobs and basement or bathroom work in Methuen, the permit history is a real, checkable track record. Ask for recent addresses you can look at, and confirm the licences on the state's own registry rather than the directory's badge.
