Narman Construction, Inc.

Twenty-one years in Dorchester, an active state registration, an A+ at the Better Business Bureau — and not one published customer review. Narman Construction works out of 42 Edson St and describes itself as a Massachusetts general contracting, construction management and consulting firm taking on both commercial and residential work: renovations, restorations, facility improvements. It says it was established in 2005, and its BBB file lines up with that — incorporated 5/31/2005, three employees, Ms. Lynda Blake listed as president. A 2020 ULI Boston member spotlight named Blake as the founder, with more than 22 years in the industry at the time. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 175640, is active and held in the company's own name. That is the one credential here checked against the state. The BBB grades it A+ and lists no complaints and no government actions, though the company has not sought BBB accreditation. Through the BBB the company lists the kind of work it takes: new construction, additions, decks, framing, kitchens and bathrooms, siding, windows, roofing. On its own site, Narman describes itself as woman-owned and minority-owned and says it holds a Massachusetts SDO M/WBE certification. Those are the company's own words rather than anything confirmed against a registry, so ask to see the certificate if that status matters to your project or your bid requirements. What isn't here is anyone's account of the work — its BBB profile publishes no customer reviews. Nothing about this company reads as a warning; there is simply no homeowner on the page telling you how a job went. For a three-person shop with a valid registration and a clean file, the sensible next step is to ask for references and a few recent job addresses you can drive past before you sign anything.
