Reliable Windows & Siding

A Haverhill windows-and-siding company with almost no public footprint. BuildZoom places Reliable Windows & Siding at 11 16TH AVE. and names Alan S Painten as its owner, and that single profile is about all there is to go on. Nobody has reviewed the company there. BuildZoom scores it 0, which is that site's way of saying it could not confirm an active license. What BuildZoom does show is a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #149459, listed as inactive with a January 10, 2016 expiration and rechecked as expired in March 2026, with a note that the status was at one point cancelled. That is the directory's reading of the state file, not a confirmation — but a registration that existed and then lapsed is a real fact worth raising, and windows and siding work is not one of the specialties Massachusetts exempts from registration. The only job on file is old: nine replacement windows permitted in Framingham in October 2009. If you are considering them, start with the registration — ask whether it was renewed and under what number, then check it yourself with the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation before any money changes hands. Ask for recent local references as well, since there is no public review history to lean on.
