Michael W Gomes has 99 permits filed around Taunton and the nearby southeastern Massachusetts towns, mostly roofing — a business started in 2006, with three employees and the alternate name Serenity Siding on its BBB listing. The customer accounts on BuildZoom are old enough to date, and all three run the same way. In August 2013, a homeowner who hired him as the general contractor overseeing roof, plumbing, electrical and some painting work on a house they had just bought wrote that he was among the awful contractors. In February 2015, a homeowner whose house he had finished building — they bought it in 2013 — said the workmanship was terrible and that he had been brought back to fix several items. The January 2022 account is the sharpest: a house he built, "from Oct 2016 finished march 2017" as the homeowner put it, with a crack in the foundation and water leaking through, windows that do not open, and work they still called unfinished after numerous calls and messages. His BuildZoom page averages 1.0 from three ratings, with a BuildZoom score of 67, first percentile. His BBB profile points the other way — an A+ grade on a non-accredited listing for a general contractor. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration numbered 162799 for him; confirm it at the state register yourself. Before signing anything, put a firm completion date and a written punch-list procedure in the contract, hold back a retainage until that list is closed, and ask to speak with homeowners whose houses he finished in the last year or two.
Mike Gomes, built our house from Oct 2016 finished march 2017. Things are not finished and we are in 2022 and we have messaged and called him numerous amounts of time. I have a crack in my foundation and water leaking through. I have windows that do not open, mind you this is a brand new house. My patio cracked and raised not even a year later!! I am disgusted with how he can day he has great quality of work!! I will never recommend him and I am trying to see where to file a complaint against his business because he should not be licensed for this
Stand Clear of this Contractor As noted above stand clear of this contractor and the builder he works with. He finished a build on a house we purchased in 2013 and the workmanship is terrible. He has been brought back to fix several items including not securing the stairs to the wall causing them to pull apart and crack the wall and he lied to me about a door header being properly blocked when his guy had cut a hole in the wrong place. When the building inspector came I asked him if what he told me was true and he said no they did not even cut open the correct spot to be able to see the door header so he could not understand how he could tell me it was properly blocked. Stand clear of this contractor.
I've read bad contractor reviews and assumed people were just complaining. Turns out there are some awful contractors out there. Mr. Gomes is among them. We hired him as a GC to oversee some work in a home we recently purchased (roof, plumbing, electrical, and some painting and plaster repair). We didn't realize until far too late that he underbid the entire job by many many thousands of dollars. He hired an unlicensed plumber (who he then didn't fullly pay!), refused to give us permits (despite swearing he had them), took and refused to return our house keys, painted over chipped porch paint w/ primer (no actual paint), insisted that people were coming to redo our floors (they never showed). Then, you guessed it, he became unreachable. Of course he stuck around to accept the first payment, which was issued before we were wise enough to realize we'd been completely duped. He's a disaster. Stay far far away.
