Paradise Construction LLC

Paradise Construction's real résumé shows up in Marblehead building-permit records — additions and whole-home renovations running from $96,600 up past $874,400, with a BuildZoom score of 96 built almost entirely from that permit history rather than customer reviews. Bruce Paradise runs the Swampscott-based company; Better Business Bureau records list it as incorporated since February 2001, with 25 years in business. The handful of Google reviews on file back that up in tone, if not in volume. One customer called the work "high-end" and said the crew was "never phased by the difficulty and complexity of the project." Another described the crew as respectful and hard-working and said they'd call again. There isn't much beyond that yet — two Google reviews are on record — but each points the same direction as the permit book: big, complicated jobs handled cleanly. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#201043) is verified active, and its BBB file carries an A+ rating, though the business isn't BBB-accredited. BuildZoom's licensing page also shows an older, second HIC number on file as inactive — worth a quick question if it matters to you, though it doesn't touch the active registration above. Sources also disagree on how long the company has operated (BuildZoom's blurb says active since 2016; BBB's incorporation date is 2001) and list two different Swampscott addresses, so confirm the current one before a site visit. For a homeowner planning an addition, a basement build-out, or a full kitchen or bath renovation — not just a countertop swap — this is a crew whose real track record sits in bigger permitted projects, even with a thin customer-review trail.
