Promax Builder

Nobody has written a review of Promax Builder — not on Houzz, not on BuildZoom. What exists instead is a paper trail: 22 permitted projects recorded for Promax Builder Inc at 10 Elliott St in Malden, with Frankselio Dasilva listed as the owner. That trail is mostly kitchen and bathroom renovation, plus full renovations after fire damage, across Malden, Randolph, Revere, Brookline and Cambridge. The typical permit sits near $94,000, and Houzz puts the company's own job range at $10,000 to $500,000 — the shape of a firm that takes gut work rather than small repairs. The company says it started in home building in 2005 and narrowed to kitchen and bath by 2010. Its listed services run to kitchen and bathroom remodeling, custom cabinets, shower installation and deck building, with basement remodels, multi-room remodels and commercial renovation added on BuildZoom. On licensing, read the numbers as claims rather than confirmations. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #177099, marked active, and two earlier registrations, #169668 and #146289, it marks inactive; Houzz separately lists construction supervisor number CS090290. Those are the directories' entries, not verifications — check them with the state's Consumer Affairs office before signing. Worth a call if you're planning a gut kitchen, a full bathroom, or a post-fire rebuild and want someone whose permit history runs at that scale. Ask for references from recent jobs and for the addresses behind those permits — with nothing written by past customers anywhere, references are the only way to hear how the work actually went.
