## The honest read

Morales General Contracting works out of Dorchester and takes on general contracting jobs — the written reviews on file are specifically about decks and porches. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, verified against the state registry, has expired.

The two most recent reviews, both from 2024, are strongly positive. One describes Jose fitting a customer in on short notice after several other contractors quoted a six-month wait, then starting and finishing the job within about a week. The other calls a back deck and front porch job exceptional, with no problems. An older review, from 2021, tells a different story: a customer needed a porch modified for wheelchair access, liked the initial pricing and assessment, but says Jose went silent once asked to make changes.

There are only three written reviews to go on, spanning 2021 to 2024, so it's worth confirming the license situation directly and getting firm commitments on scope and timeline before signing anything.

**Strengths:**
- Fast turnaround — started and finished a job within about a week
- Deck and porch work — called an exceptional, problem-free job

**Concerns:**
- Expired license — MA registration no longer active
- 2021 review — went silent after being asked for changes

His pricing was very agreeable to me and hopefully t…
