Theodore B Grab

Theodore B. Grab runs a Swampscott-based contracting business built almost entirely around basement finishing. Massachusetts's own registry confirms his home improvement contractor registration (#180660) is active, and BuildZoom independently lists the same license as active as of March 2026. His permit record runs to 35 projects, most of them basements converted into finished living space — family rooms, home offices, media rooms, laundry and utility areas, often paired with a 3/4 bathroom. Recent examples include a $40,000 Medway basement finish with a bathroom and office completed in January 2025, a $23,000 Medway basement with a bathroom and media room from September 2024, and a $34,000 South Easton project in 2021 that added a family room, office, bathroom, laundry, utility and HVAC space. Earlier work spans Cohasset, Burlington, Newton, Peabody and Beverly, including a 2017 Peabody job rebuilding a water-damaged finished basement for $12,000. BuildZoom's profile describes 19 years in the industry and gives him a score of 97, in the 82nd percentile for Massachusetts contractors.
