Ramey Building and Remodeling

Ramey Building and Remodeling is a builder based at 64 Lincoln St in Belmont, Massachusetts, with Ernest E Ramey listed as owner. Its work is a mix of residential remodeling and larger structural jobs rather than a single specialty. The building-permit record is the only substantial thing on file, and it reaches well beyond Belmont. In Methuen the company pulled two permits at 203 Lawrence St, the Notre Dame school — replacing the existing stairs and building a new roof over them to architect's plans in January 2024, then replacing 29 windows in a $29,800 job that June. Further afield the record includes a $729,500 single-family dwelling in Taunton, a $487,000 field facility building at Newton South High School, roof-truss repair in a Milton church sanctuary, a three-car garage in Danvers and a basement apartment drywall job in Fitchburg. The advertised services are narrower and more domestic: kitchen, bathroom, basement and whole-home remodels, additions, custom carpentry and interior remodeling. Volume is thin lately. Fourteen permitted projects appear in total but only two in the past two years, one in 2024 and one in 2025. No homeowner has said anything about this company in public. BuildZoom states it has received no reviews at all, and the score of 97 shown on that page is calculated from permit and licence history, not from customers — it is not a star rating and should not be read as one. The licensing picture is the thing to settle before hiring. BuildZoom lists six separate records under this name across five licence types and two states, and names no holder for any of them. One is current: a Massachusetts construction supervisor licence, CS-060600, which is the credential required for structural work and which BuildZoom reports as active. The rest are not. Two different Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registrations, 141216 and 173499, are both shown as cancelled, and the HIC registration is what covers non-structural residential home improvement work and what gives a homeowner access to the state Guaranty Fund. A City of Newton number, 60600, appears twice — once as Building Contractor and once as Residential Builder — both cancelled, and a Rhode Island residential contractor record, 23350, is labelled unverified with an expiry of December 2010 while its status field still reads active. Anyone considering this contractor for work on their own house should ask directly which registration is current today and check it themselves with the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation and the Department of Public Safety before any money changes hands.
