Paul Oriordan

Paul Oriordan Construction's permit trail swings wide — a $950,000 conversion of a Brookline property into a 29-unit lodging house one year, a generator permit for tent lighting at a one-day event the next. The Wakefield general contractor is run by Paul O'Riordan, whose Massachusetts construction supervisor license (CS-050422) is registry-verified active. A BBB profile puts the business's start date at 1997, and BuildZoom's records tie it to 56 permitted projects total, six of them in the past three years. The larger builds include an $800,000 addition and interior renovation in Brookline, completed under a 2022 permit, and a kitchen-and-4.5-bath remodel with its own electrical permit in Chestnut Hill in 2023. The business has also pulled a Brookline gut-demolition permit, commercial work in Malden, and gas, plumbing and boiler permits in Braintree, Marshfield and North Easton. On the smaller, recurring end, it regularly pulls generator permits for temporary event power — tent lighting and heaters — at events in Nahant, Brockton and Holbrook between 2022 and 2025. BuildZoom's own scoring puts the business at 96. BuildZoom separately lists an Electrician license (#17217) and a Home Improvement Contractor registration (#118917) for the business — the #118917 number is worth checking directly against the state registry before signing anything. A BBB profile for the business, filed as O'Riordan Construction-Roofing, lists a different address (53 Butler Ave) and phone number than BuildZoom's permit listing, so confirm the current contact details before reaching out. The permit history leans toward larger additions, renovations and gut-outs rather than small repair jobs, making this a reasonable call for a sizable remodel — worth asking directly about the Brookline-scale projects, and confirming the licence number and contact details are current before booking.
