Raf's Construction Company, Inc

Raf's Construction Company is a one-person general contracting outfit in Woburn, run by Rafael Nepomuceno, working additions and remodels across towns north and west of Boston rather than one narrow specialty. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and permit records show eight residential jobs since 2019 — a second-floor bedroom addition, a master-bathroom remodel, and new-construction work spread from Marblehead to Somerville and Lowell. A single Thumbtack review from 2025 calls the company "the best contract I work so far," backed by a matching background check on Rafael Nepomuceno on the same platform. Two things worth asking about before booking: permit records show a 2024 second-floor addition in Marblehead currently listed as suspended, and a 2021 Somerville permit application was rejected for not supplying requested paperwork — worth a direct conversation about what happened with both. The company's Thumbtack profile also claims 25 years in business, longer than the roughly seven years its permit history documents, so it's worth asking him about his background before founding it. For an addition or bathroom remodel in the Woburn area, the license is active and a couple of completed jobs check out on paper — go in asking about the stalled Marblehead job and the tenure claim.
