Picard Construction Corporation

Picard Construction is an old Lowell name: the company's own site says it has been putting up homes and community buildings around Greater Lowell and southern New Hampshire since 1934, and its BBB profile lists the business as established in 1932 and incorporated in 1964, with six employees and Christopher Clarke as president. The work it describes is broad — residential and commercial construction, remodeling and historic renovation on its own site, and a Houzz profile that puts custom homes next to banks, nursing homes, colleges, schools and office buildings, with two projects and nine photos posted. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, 125760, is active on the state registry; the site also cites a construction supervisor licence, #06622, and an OSHA certification. The Better Business Bureau gives the company an A+ letter grade. Its one Google review, posted in October 2024, is a single star: the writer called the company's people terrible and said they were almost run off the road. The Google average sits at 2.3 stars across three ratings. For a remodel, an addition or a historic renovation in the Lowell area, this is a long-established general contractor with an active state registration. Ask for recent homeowner references and addresses of comparable jobs, and get the licence and insurance certificates plus a written scope before anything starts.
