Thomas J Russo

Thomas J Russo works out of Methuen and shows up in the public record as a hands-on residential remodeler rather than a company with a storefront. His permitted work runs from 2018 to 2024 across Methuen, Burlington, Reading, Arlington and Beverly, and covers kitchen and bathroom remodels, hardwood flooring, deck rebuilds, window and door replacement, basement renovation and front-entry work. The scale of those jobs is worth knowing: the permits range from around nine thousand dollars to over two hundred thousand, so he has taken on both small replacements and gut-level renovations. That breadth, spread across five towns north of Boston, is the substance of what is known about him. There is no customer verdict at all. BuildZoom, the one site carrying him, states it has received no reviews for him, and no other platform lists him. Its score of 98 is not a customer score — it is calculated from permits and licensing, and it should not be read as a rating from homeowners. Licensing needs checking before you hire. BuildZoom prints Massachusetts Construction Supervisor licence CS-101940 twice on the same page and contradicts itself: once as a verified, active licence it says it confirmed in May 2026, and once as inactive, saying the Department of Public Safety showed the status cancelled at some point. Neither statement was confirmed against the state registry here. A Construction Supervisor licence covers structural work; nonstructural residential home improvement work also requires a separate Home Improvement Contractor registration, and no HIC number appears anywhere for him. Before signing anything, ask him for both numbers, verify CS-101940 yourself with the Department of Public Safety and the HIC registration with Consumer Affairs, and ask for references from the last year — with no published reviews anywhere, references are the only customer signal available.
