Paul M Gallagher

Paul M Gallagher is a Nahant-based builder who also appears on Houzz as P. M. Gallagher Inc. of Lynn — the two profiles are linked by the same Massachusetts Construction Supervisor licence number, CS-078120, though the company name, town and phone number differ between them. That Houzz page describes the operation as general building contractors doing new construction and remodelling for both residential and commercial clients across Greater Boston, the North Shore and New England since 1987, and puts typical job cost between $25,000 and $5,000,000. The work listed runs wide for a small shop: home remodelling, custom homes, additions and extensions, kitchen remodelling, deck building, porch design and construction, historic building conservation, foundation construction and demolition. Building-permit records compiled by BuildZoom show 20 permitted projects, which is a real, checkable trail of work rather than a marketing claim. There is nothing written by anyone who hired them. Neither directory profile carries a single customer review, so nothing here speaks to how jobs actually go — schedule, budget, communication or finish quality. One thing to clear up first: the licence picture is contradictory. BuildZoom lists Construction Supervisor licence CS-078120 as active as of July 2026 and, on the same page, also lists that number as inactive and at one point cancelled, alongside a separately listed Home Improvement Contractor registration #206871. Ask which entity — the individual or P. M. Gallagher Inc. — will sign the contract, and verify both licence numbers directly with the state before committing. On what exists, this reads as an experienced full-scope builder with a documented permit history and no public customer record. Ask for recent references from jobs of your size.
