Paul Kelley Roofing Co

The first thing BuildZoom shows about Paul Kelley Roofing Co is an alert and a score of zero, on the stated grounds that there is no active licence on file. That is where any homeowner should start with this Belmont company. The licensing picture behind that alert has three parts. A Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration, #102535, is listed as inactive, and BuildZoom notes its status was at one point cancelled — that registration is what backs a homeowner's claim to the state Guaranty Fund on residential work. Two City of Newton credentials, a Residential Builder and a Building Contractor licence sharing number #225130, are flagged as not verified, and BuildZoom says the last expiration date it saw on them was December 2022. The work itself is a long, thin trail. Fourteen permits stretch from 1992 to 2018: strip-and-reroof jobs, several in Taunton, plus attic insulation and weatherization, a deck replacement, replacement windows and vinyl siding, spread across Taunton, Belmont, Framingham, Scituate, Brockton, Watertown and Falmouth. Nothing newer than 2018 appears, and BuildZoom states it has received no reviews for the business. So there is no customer account here at all — nothing describing a job, a crew, or how a problem was handled — which is why no rating is given. Before any contact, ask directly about current registration and insurance and check the Home Improvement Contractor registry yourself with the Office of Consumer Affairs, along with the Newton licence. In Massachusetts, hiring an unregistered contractor for residential work costs you the Guaranty Fund protection if the job goes wrong.
