Patrick M Osgood

Eight permits across seven Massachusetts towns, and most of what they describe is the outside of a house — roofs, decks, exterior trim. Patrick M Osgood works out of 15R Ropes Street in Salem, trading as Osgood Companies; the BBB lists it as a sole proprietorship 37 years into business and has had it accredited, at an A+, since 2014. The written customer record is short: two reviews, both positive about how the finished work turned out. What fills the gap is the permit file BuildZoom keeps — eight jobs in Salem, Beverly, Nahant, Waltham, Peabody, Newburyport and Melrose, including a 2020 condo deck repair on Nahant Road, and a BuildZoom score of 93. Licensing is worth a phone call before you sign anything. BuildZoom shows two Massachusetts credentials for him: construction supervisor CS-091643, which it says it checked in July 2026, and home improvement contractor registration 134220, which it flags as unverified and lists with an October 2025 expiration date even while marking it active. Neither has been confirmed here against the state registry, so ask him for both and look them up yourself. The BBB service list runs wider than roofs — siding, gutters, decks, masonry, additions, bath and kitchen renovation — which fits a small general-contracting shop rather than a single-trade crew. He is a sensible call for roofing, siding, gutter and deck work in the towns where he already pulls permits. Go in expecting to judge him on a conversation and a reference list rather than on a body of published reviews.
