Stephen C Wildes

Stephen C Wildes is a Marshfield Hills-based general contractor with a permit and review history stretching back to 2013 - four of his five reviews are positive kitchen, bath and addition work, but one 2018 review carries a serious, specific allegation worth reading closely before hiring him for a big job. In a 2022 review, a customer credited him with helping choose cabinets and design, and said the plumbing, electric, flooring and granite trades all came and went on schedule over a 2-4 week whole-kitchen remodel. A 2019 review described a simple dining-room bead-board removal that turned into a bigger fix when missing wallboard was found behind it - he replaced, taped and sanded it smooth before painting, leaving the painter with no prep work. Older reviews from 2015 and 2013 describe a master bath-and-kitchen remodel and a garage/studio build, both positively. The 2018 review is different in kind: on a $150,000 antique-home remodel that included roof repair, the customer says that after permits were pulled, no inspections were done for the remodel, electrical, plumbing or HVAC work, and that the house was left with no roof and partially collapsing from water damage - and calls him a thief. It's an unresolved allegation, not a finding by any authority, but it is specific and serious. It also lines up with two other things on record: a 2024 Marshfield permit ($63,500, covering a deck rebuild, window and door replacement, re-siding and a bathroom/laundry remodel) currently carries a SUSPENDED status, and both of his Home Improvement Contractor registrations - the registration that covers this kind of residential remodeling work - are listed as inactive and at one point cancelled. His Construction Supervisor license is shown active. Given that combination, get his current license status confirmed directly and ask pointed questions about permits and inspections before committing to a project of any size.
