Redwine Construction

Redwine Construction, LLC works out of 30 Belleau Rd in Salem and shows up in the public record only through permits — ten of them, filed since 2018 across Marblehead, Topsfield, Beverly and Middleton. They sketch a small remodeling outfit that takes on structural work: opening a kitchen wall into a dining room and carrying the second floor on a new beam, a 24-by-60 single-storey in-law addition, a master-suite addition, a rebuilt room over a garage, a side-entrance portico framed on posts set below the frost line, and a run of bathroom updates. What is missing is any customer voice at all. BuildZoom states it has received no reviews for the business, and no other site carries a rating or a written account. The BuildZoom score of 95 attached to the profile is calculated from permit activity, not from anything a homeowner wrote. Two things are worth raising before you call. The permit pace has slowed sharply — one permit in the last three years against nine in the five before that, so ask what the current crew and workload look like. And the licence line needs checking directly: BuildZoom lists Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration 184705 as Active with a Date Issued of 03-02-2026, while stating on the same page that it verified the licence in January 2026 — an issue date that postdates the verification citing it. That is a directory bookkeeping problem, not evidence against the company, but it does mean the number should be confirmed with the state's Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation rather than taken from the profile. BuildZoom also lists Leo J Kraunelis as the responsible person and Leo Kraunelis as owner, so the trading name and the person behind it differ — normal for an LLC, but worth knowing when you check the registration. Best suited to a homeowner who is comfortable judging a contractor on permitted work and references they gather themselves, for a kitchen or bathroom renovation or a modest addition on the North Shore. Ask for the registration number in writing, check it with the state, and ask for two or three recent job references, since there is no written customer record to lean on.
