Tanguay Construction

By the Better Business Bureau's account, Gilles Tanguay has been running Tanguay Construction out of Hampden since 1989 — a sole proprietorship doing the work that keeps an older Western Massachusetts house tight: roofs, decks, windows, siding, framing and skylight repair. The permit trail matches that shape. BuildZoom counts 14 permitted projects for the business, three of them in the past three years, most valued between $5,000 and $50,000 — roofing, deck, window and repair jobs around Hampden, Longmeadow, Springfield, Chicopee, Agawam and West Springfield, with Lenox and Indian Orchard addresses in the mix. Between 2020 and 2022 the permits reach east to Haverhill, for a kitchen renovation's gas, plumbing and electrical work and some pool wiring. BuildZoom scores the business 93, which it places in the 73rd percentile of the 139,240 Massachusetts contractors it tracks. On licensing, BuildZoom and BBB both list home improvement contractor registration #106262, and BBB also lists construction supervisor licence CS-013940 from the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety and Inspections. A sensible call for a roof, a deck, windows or siding in the Springfield area, particularly if you want someone who has worked the same towns for decades. Before signing, check both licence numbers on the state's registers, ask for addresses of recent roofs nearby, and get the scope and payment schedule in writing.
