Russell F Ahern

Russell F Ahern builds houses. Of the 18 permitted projects on his BuildZoom profile, the bulk are new single-family homes in Haverhill, Methuen, Wakefield and Tewksbury, valued between $150,000 and $438,000. That is ground-up construction, not patch-and-repair work. The page puts him at 14 years in the industry and scores him 97, in the 82nd percentile. That score is built from licensing and permit filings — no homeowner has written about him there, so nothing describes what working with him is actually like. On paper the credentials are in order. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration, #196529, issued in August 2025 and active, and a Construction Supervisor licence, #CS-029340, also listed active; the directory says it checked both, in March and June 2026. Those are BuildZoom's own checks rather than the state's, so confirm the numbers against the registry yourself. If you are putting up a new house or running a project at that scale, his permit history sits squarely in that lane. For a smaller job — one room, one repair — ask first whether he takes that work at all, and ask for references from recent clients, since everything written about him here is permits and paperwork.
