South Shore Home Services

South Shore Home Services runs out of 96 Long Pond Rd in Plymouth, and what it has to show is a permit trail rather than a review pile: six residential projects on file between 2013 and 2018, spread across Hingham, Marshfield, Milton and East Falmouth. The written record is a single account, from August 2017, and that homeowner did the work of laying out both columns. On the plus side: fair price quotes, an owner who answered questions quickly, tradespeople they found friendly and knowledgeable, work spaces kept clean and orderly, and structural work they were satisfied with. On the other: a job quoted at four weeks ran about three and a half months, and small details — mismatched paint, doors hung wrong, paint splatters — were left half-finished. They recommended the company anyway, with the caveat that it suited small-to-medium projects and that a homeowner should watch the punch list closely. The licensing picture is the thing to settle before calling. The Massachusetts registry shows the company's home improvement contractor registration, number 172444, as expired; BuildZoom separately lists three HIC numbers for the business, all shown as inactive, and a general contractor licence whose expiration date it prints as 1994. Ask what registration is current before any contract is signed. Beyond that one dated account and the permit history, there is little here to judge on — recent local references would be the sensible next ask.
