Mike Ahern General Contractor

Mike Ahern General Contractor works out of Westmoreland Street in Dorchester, and the city's permit trail is where the work shows up: openpermitdata.com lists five Boston building permits filed under Michael Ahern since 2010. Two of those permits are still open, which is the first thing to raise. Ask how each job was signed off with the city's inspectional services, and who pulls the permit on yours. On Google, the business holds a 5-star rating from two ratings. For a small Boston job, ask for the addresses of a couple of recent projects and the permit numbers that go with them, get the scope and payment schedule in writing, and confirm the home improvement contractor registration and insurance before any work starts.
