Richard O'Connor Carpentry & Remodeling

Richard O'Connor Carpentry & Remodeling works out of 54 Elm Ave in Brockton, and its 13 permitted projects are the clearest thing on file — a real, if modest, trail of carpentry and remodeling work. The licensing is where a homeowner has to stop and look. The Massachusetts registry shows construction supervisor licence CS-095239, held of record by Richard C O'Connor, as expired. BuildZoom puts that expiration at July 7, 2024 and says it re-checked in July 2026 and still found it inactive. The registry likewise shows home improvement contractor registration 103972, held of record by Richard O'Connor, as expired, and BuildZoom lists a second Massachusetts HIC number, 164956, as inactive as well. None of the four credentials on file is current. In Massachusetts that has practical teeth. Structural work requires an active construction supervisor licence, and non-structural residential home improvement work requires a current HIC registration — which is also what gives a homeowner access to the state's Guaranty Fund if a job goes badly. Start there if you want to hire them: ask whether either credential has been renewed since, get the current numbers, and check them yourself against the Department of Public Safety and the Office of Consumer Affairs. Ask for a few recent local references while you are at it, because the permit list is the only account of their work available to read.
