# True Construction and Metalwork **Trade:** General Contractor / Remodeling · **Phone:** (540) 405-7300 · **Languages:** English **Rating: 2.9/5** (low confidence) — from 2 reviews across 5 sources. ## The honest read True Metalwork, Inc. is a general contractor based in Marshfield, Massachusetts, working on home additions and new home building, with permitted projects recorded in Marshfield and Arlington. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor license (#174986) is registry-verified expired. Houzz and BuildZoom each show a five-star rating, though each is built on a single review. A homeowner writing on Houzz in 2016 said the job was completed just as planned, with no waiting on call-backs. A BuildZoom reviewer in 2018 called the work quality, with good people to deal with. Houzz shows six project photos on the company's profile, and BuildZoom shows 17 permitted projects on record; BuildZoom lists the same license number under two different type labels, General Contractor and Home Improvement Contractor. Anyone considering hiring should confirm the license status directly with the state before booking — the two reviews on record, while positive, are both several years old. **Strengths:** - On-time delivery — a 2016 Houzz reviewer said the job went just as planned - Quality workmanship — a 2018 BuildZoom reviewer called the work quality with good people **Concerns:** - Expired contractor license — the state registry shows HIC #174986 expired - Thin review history — only two reviews on record, from 2016 and 2018 **Where sources disagree:** - BuildZoom lists the same license number (#174986) under two different license types — General Contractor and Home Improvement Contractor. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - True Metalwork, Inc. is a general contractor based in Marshfield, Massachusetts. _(confidence: high)_ - [Houzz](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/true-metalwork-inc-pfvwus-pf~310853474) — “Houzz profile for True Metalwork Inc., a general contractor at PO Box 1235, Marshfield, MA (phone (540) 405-7300, website truemetalwork.com)…” - [BuildZoom](https://www.buildzoom.com/contractor/true-metalwork-inc) — “BuildZoom profile for True Metalwork, Inc at P.O.
