Tom Fortin General Contracting

Tom Fortin General Contracting is an owner-operated general contractor working out of 5 Wamsutta Avenue in Acushnet. The owner is Thomas J. Fortin, and his Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration, number 161896, checks out as active against the state registry - the holder of record is his own name, not a parent company or another firm. What the business actually does comes from one place: a January 2009 Standard-Times neighbour profile. It reported that Tom Fortin General Contracting had been in business since 1983, that he did all general contracting including siding, roofing, building, additions and finish work, and that he had branched into fire restoration roughly six years before that, learning the insurance side of the work with the help of a specialist. The same profile described him as an Acushnet lifelong resident who sat on the town board of health and had by then run his own contracting business for 25 years. The honest caveat is how little there is beyond that. No customer feedback exists on file anywhere we looked: the BuildZoom listing for him carries no reviews at all, and the score of 90 that site displays is drawn from licence and permit records, not from anyone's experience of the work. That is why no rating appears here - we would rather show nothing than a number built from a directory's own scoring. If you are calling, ask him directly what he takes on now: the description above is seventeen years old, and a one-man or small-crew business changes shape over that long. Confirm the HIC registration on the Mass.gov Consumer Affairs site, ask for references from recent jobs in Acushnet or the surrounding South Coast towns, and get the scope and price in writing. The licence and the long local track record are real; the customer record is simply not there yet.
