Raymond L Shirtz

Forty-eight permits, and nearly all of them point the same direction: roofs, siding, gutters, and the trim work that goes with them. Raymond L Shirtz Construction runs out of 22 Christopher Rd in Norwell, with Raymond Shirtz Jr listed as its owner, and the permitted jobs read as strip-and-re-roofs in asphalt and slate, low-slope membrane work, vinyl and cedar siding, copper and fiberglass gutters, replacement windows, deck rebuilds and porch repair, and fascia, soffit and rake board patching. Most of that volume is history rather than this year. Of the 48 lifetime permits, seven land in the past three years — five in 2023, one in 2024, one in 2025 — so this reads as a long-running exterior outfit working at a slower current pace, not a high-volume crew. There is nothing from customers to weigh. BuildZoom's page carries no reviews at all, and the BZ Score of 97 sitting on it is calculated from permit history, not homeowner sentiment — worth knowing before anyone reads that number as a satisfaction score. On licensing, be careful with what that page shows. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #189049, issued 09-24-2025, and stamps it with the site's own verified-license badge — that is the directory's claim, not a state-registry confirmation. The same page also shows construction supervisor specialty license CSSL-100338 three separate times, under windows-and-siding, roofing, and construction supervisor specialty labels, each marked inactive and at one point cancelled. Ask directly which credentials are current today and get the numbers in writing. One last mismatch worth naming: the services block advertises kitchen, bathroom, basement, whole-home and addition remodeling, none of which show up in the permit descriptions printed on that same page — that block is BuildZoom's category menu, not a statement of this trade. For a roof, siding, gutters or a porch rebuild, the permit trail is real and specific. For a room renovation, ask for finished projects and references before going further, because nothing here demonstrates that work.
