Quality Additions & Remodeling

Quality Additions & Remodeling is a small Wilmington, Massachusetts remodeling outfit that works out of a PO Box on Route 62 side of town, with Michael Welch listed as its owner. It is hired for the work most homeowners think of as a whole-project job rather than a repair: kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions and full-house remodels. The strongest thing on file is a permit trail rather than customer feedback. Municipal building permits pulled under this company's name run from 2010 through 2020 and are spread across the Merrimack Valley and inner north suburbs — a $288,000 new single-family dwelling with an attached two-stall garage in Methuen, a $39,000 job in Lowell converting a double-decker porch into three-season rooms, a $21,500 bathroom renovation in Malden, an interior renovation in Dracut and a five-window replacement in Burlington. That is a decade of permitted, inspected work across five municipalities, and it includes ground-up construction as well as room remodels, which is a meaningful signal of scope. What is genuinely missing is the customer side. No homeowner reviews have been published about this company on any source reached — the one directory carrying it explicitly reports that it has received no reviews — so there is no rating here, and nothing recent enough to tell you how the company communicates, schedules or finishes a job today. The most recent permit on file is from 2020. The credential picture needs a direct question before you sign anything. The directory carrying this business displays an alert reading 'No active license on file' and a licence block reading 'Unable To Verify', meaning it could not confirm a registration with the licensing board. In Massachusetts, non-structural residential home improvement work requires Home Improvement Contractor registration with the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation, and structural work requires a Construction Supervisor Licence from the Department of Public Safety — and HIC registration is also what gives a homeowner access to the state Guaranty Fund if a job goes wrong. That is worth verifying directly with the state before hiring, not taken from any directory in either direction. This is the right call to look at if you want someone with a real, documented history of permitted additions and whole-room remodels in the Wilmington–Lowell–Methuen corridor. Ask for the current HIC registration and CSL numbers, check them yourself on the state registries, and ask for recent references, since the public record here goes quiet after 2020.
