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. **Strengths:** - Permit volume — 99 filed projects around Taunton, mostly roofing - BBB grade — A+ on a non-accredited profile **Concerns:** - Unfinished work — a 2022 review cited defects and unanswered calls - Workmanship complaints — 2013 and 2015 reviewers described repeat callbacks - 1.0 BuildZoom rating — three ratings, all negative - Licence check — confirm registration 162799 at the state register **Where sources disagree:** - The BBB grades the business A+ while its BuildZoom page averages 1.0 from three ratings ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A January 2022 reviewer described a house he built, "from Oct 2016 finished march 2017", with a cracked foundation leaking water and windows that do not open, still unfinished after repeated calls _(confidence: high)_ - [BuildZoom](https://www.buildzoom.com/contractor/michael-w-gomes) — “Mike Gomes, built our house from Oct 2016 finished march 2017.
