Raymond Rodriguez

One permit, no reviews, and two home improvement contractor numbers that do not agree with each other — that is the entire public footprint of Raymond Rodriguez, a remodeler working out of 4 Pandy Ln in Methuen. The work on file is the kind of job a small crew takes on whole: a two-family house on Dearborn Street in Springfield, where the first and second floor kitchens and baths were renovated, six windows swapped and the front and rear porches repaired, permitted at $20,500. That job sits about 90 miles west of the Methuen base, so it is worth asking where he actually works day to day. BuildZoom lists him for kitchen, bathroom, basement and whole-home remodeling plus additions, and the licensing it shows deserves care rather than trust. Two Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor numbers appear for one person: #160067, which the site calls active while printing an issue date of 07-10-2026 that falls after its own June 2026 verification check, and #186895, marked inactive and described as having been cancelled at some point. Those are the directory's claims, and its dates contradict themselves. The Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation publishes HIC registrations directly — check the number he gives you there, and ask which of the two is current. The profile also lists three owner records: Raymond J Rodriguez, Raymond Rodriguez and a Reynaldo D Rodrguez, whose surname is printed without its 'i'. That may be a relative working alongside him or simply a duplicated record, and it is a fair question to put to him. Nobody has written publicly about hiring him — BuildZoom states outright that it holds no reviews, so the 90 it displays says only that someone is licensed or registered, nothing about the work. For a homeowner, that means doing the checking yourself: ask for recent local references and photos of completed kitchens and baths, confirm the registration number and its status with the state, and get proof of current liability insurance before anyone starts.
