Roger P Boucher

Roger P Boucher's permit history reads like two different careers stapled together. Through the first half of the 2010s it is carpentry and general remodeling around Danvers, Beverly and Peabody: an $87,000 rear addition with a new full bath and a 16-by-32 deck, kitchen remodels at $27,600 and $17,945, a first-floor half bath with a stone-veneer fireplace wall, deck replacements. From 2023 onward it is almost entirely small plumbing and gas work — shower installs of about $1,000 each in Marblehead, Beverly, Burlington and Marlborough, gas piping for a generator and gas log in West Newbury, a pool heater in Merrimac. Twenty-nine permits in total, run from a Salem address. BuildZoom's write-up claims more than 18 years working the Salem area. The credentials are the sticking point. His Massachusetts construction supervisor licence, CS-080914, is held in his own name and the state shows it expired. BuildZoom separately lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 102960, as inactive and at one point cancelled, and puts an alert on the profile reading 'no active license on file'. For remodeling work of the kind his older permits describe, both of those matter — construction supervisor licensing covers structural work and HIC registration covers non-structural home improvement and gives homeowners access to the state Guaranty Fund. There is also no published customer account of any of this work, on any source. If you are considering him for a shower swap or a gas line, ask which current licence covers that specific trade and check the number with the state yourself. For a larger renovation, settle the construction supervisor and registration question before anything else.
