Paulo E Mendes Construction

Paulo E Mendes Construction is a Peabody-based general contractor working under owner Paulo Mendes, with permit records tracked by BuildZoom showing 29 projects overall but only 3 in the last three years — mostly basement renovations, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and structural work across Peabody, Marblehead, Newburyport, Beverly, Melrose, Everett, Brookline and several Boston neighborhoods. The two most recent jobs on file are both Marblehead basement projects: a $95,400 renovation in August 2023 and a $27,000 project in February 2024. One fact worth knowing plainly: Massachusetts' state registry shows Paulo E. Mendes's home improvement contractor registration (license #143869) as expired. Separately, BuildZoom's own directory lists a Construction Supervisor license as active and a different home improvement contractor license number as inactive, said to have been cancelled at some point — neither of those directory entries has been checked against the registry directly. Given the registry-confirmed expiration, confirming current licensing status before signing a contract is essential, not just a formality. For basement, kitchen or bathroom work in the Peabody area, this is a contractor with a real, if modest, recent permit history — but licensing needs to be squared away first.
