Tripp Construction Company

Tripp Construction runs out of 66 Holmes St in Carver under two names. The website sells remodeling — kitchens, bathrooms, basement finishing, attic conversions, ADUs and additions across a dozen South Shore towns from Carver down to Cohasset. The BBB files the same address and phone as Tripp Construction Enterprises, categorised as a fence contractor, with "Tripp Fence Company" as an alternate name and a website of its own. James Harkins owns it, and the site calls the business family-owned. He came up through vocational carpentry training with a background in architectural design, which is the whole pitch here: one person who understands both how the framing goes together and how the floor plan should work. One thing needs settling before you call. The Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration on file in his name, number 193185, is expired on the state registry. That registration is the one that matters for remodeling and addition work, so ask whether it has been renewed and get the current number before anything is signed. The customer accounts that exist are about fence work — one of them a Lowes referral — and neither carries a date. The BBB grades the company A+, though it is not accredited there. Its own site claims a decade in business; the BBB file says eight years, from a 2018 start. Worth a call for a South Shore fence or a modest remodel where you can go and look at recent work. Ask for two addresses you can drive past, check the registration status yourself, and get the payment schedule in writing.
