## The honest read

A buyer whose home inspector had flagged the attic joists called three contractors in May 2019 and needed someone fast. Matt Palmer was the only one who rang back the same day and came out. A customer with a small roof repair in December 2018 described the same thing after several other companies told him they were too busy. Getting a call back is what people wrote about for six years.

MMP Construction is a Lowell general contractor run by Matthew and Margaret Palmer, and its permit history is roofing and structure: three strip-and-reroof jobs in 2024, deck and porch builds with roofing over multi-family units, window and garage-door infill framing, and in 2025 a $172,500 attached garage with a mudroom and an accessory dwelling unit above it that turned a single-family house into a two-family. Ninety-seven permitted projects sit on the record, eleven of them in the last three years, at a typical value near $15,000.

The written accounts are older, running from November 2016 to November 2022 on HomeAdvisor. They describe a bathroom skylight fitted before the light went in 2022; a complete roof replacement in 2019 with kitchen venting and new attic ventilation; a bedroom added in 2017 where the crew laid out what was possible inside the budget and, the customer said, never tried to upsell; entryway stairs and porches rebuilt in 2018. The one worth keeping in mind is from January 2017: shingles blew off five months after the job, and the crew came out the next day and reattached them at no extra charge.

The criticism in that same set is specific and mild. A customer in November 2016 said the crew turned up without a ladder long enough to reach the roof. Another that month said they were given little information and the problem was not fixed, so they brought in someone else. In June 2017 a customer had to call them back for an area that had been missed, which was sorted quickly, and thought their quote to demolish a barn was far too high.

Two things to settle before signing. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration for the company, number 176840, issued in October 2025 — ask to see the registration yourself. And the company's Houzz page calls the business MMP Construction Inc in one field and MMP Construction LLC in its own description, so check which entity the contract names. For a roof, a porch, or an addition in the Lowell area, this is a builder with a deep permit history and a record of coming back when something needed fixing.

**Strengths:**
- Same-day callbacks — answered when other contractors would not
- Free return visit — blown shingles reattached at no charge
- Deep permit history — 97 projects from reroofs to an ADU build
- No upselling — options laid out inside the customer's budget
- Owner on the phone — Matt Palmer named across six years of reviews

**Concerns:**
- Dated accounts — the newest readable review is from November 2022
- Directory-listed licence — the registration number appears on BuildZoom
- Entity name — profiled as Inc in one field and LLC in another
- Ladder shortfall — a 2016 crew could not reach the roof
- High demolition quote — a 2017 barn-removal estimate was rejected

**Where sources disagree:**
- The Houzz page gives the business name as MMP Construction Inc while its own About Us text says MMP Construction LLC
- HomeAdvisor's profile states 22 years of experience while BuildZoom's blurb for the same company says 16
