Michael G Honan

Twenty-four permits stretching back to 1998, and the biggest of them is recent: a $330,750 whole-house remodel on Middle Street in Marblehead, filed in January 2023. Michael G Honan works out of 8 Larchmont St in Danvers, and the permit trail is the long, unglamorous kind — bathroom after bathroom, kitchens, a basement, decks, a sunroom, one-story additions. Most of it sits in Peabody, with the rest spread across Danvers, Marblehead, Newburyport and Bradford. BuildZoom lists kitchen, bathroom, basement and whole-home remodels plus additions as the services offered. His Massachusetts construction supervisor licence, CS-083668, is active — confirmed against the state registry and held in his own name. BuildZoom also lists a home improvement contractor registration numbered 118039, issued in August 2025. One thing to weigh: the pace has dropped off. BuildZoom records a single permitted project in the past three years, against a record that once ran several a year. Worth asking directly whether he is still taking on full remodels and what his current crew and schedule look like. The other gap is that nobody has written publicly about hiring him — there are no reviews at all, and the BuildZoom score of 96 is calculated from permits and licence status rather than from anything a customer said. So the case for him rests on the paperwork: a licence the state confirms, a quarter-century of filed permits in the towns he works, and one large recent Marblehead remodel. Ask for references from that Marblehead job specifically, and confirm the home improvement registration for any non-structural work before you sign.
