Normandin Roofing Inc

Normandin Roofing Inc works out of 96 Pleasant St in Dracut, Massachusetts, and is listed on the permit-history directory BuildZoom as a roofer. The work recorded against it is roofing and skylights. Worth knowing up front: the company trades under the name Normandin, but the owner on file is James Buckley, with James L Buckley named as the responsible person — so the name over the door and the name behind the registration are not the same. The documented job history is small and old. Two distinct permits appear, both strip-and-reroofs in Methuen: one at 24 Mulberry Cir valued at $8,500 in June 2015, and one at 276 Pelham St valued at $11,000 in August 2014. Nothing on file postdates 2015, so the permit trail is more than a decade behind the present day and says little about how the company works now. One entry needs raising. The 2014 Methuen permit carries a $100 fine for working without a permit, recorded by the city on the permit itself. It is a single, small, long-past municipal penalty rather than a licence action, but a homeowner should hear it and can ask about it directly. On credentials, BuildZoom shows a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration numbered 154068 and says it verified that registration as active in March 2026. No holder name is printed against the record, so it cannot be confirmed from this alone that the registration belongs to this company rather than a similarly named one — and given that the trading name and the owner's surname already differ, that is worth checking yourself. The BuildZoom score of 90 that headlines the listing is not a customer rating either: BuildZoom's own text says a 90 means only that a contractor is licensed or registered and that it has no further information, and the same page states it has received no reviews for this business. So this is a roofer to vet rather than to assume. Confirm registration 154068 and the name it is held under with the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation, ask for addresses of roofs done in the last couple of years, ask about the 2014 permit fine, and get the written contract and payment schedule before any work starts.
