Un Riel Building Remodeling

Twenty-one permits pulled in Methuen and not one customer review anywhere — Un Riel Building Remodeling is a paper trail without a chorus. The company works out of 48 Woburn St in Methuen, with David J Riel listed as owner and responsible person. What the permit history actually describes is exterior and structural work close to home: stripping and re-siding houses on Sugar Hill Circle and Riverview Avenue, re-roofing, framing a porch with an entry-way roof change on Sevoian Drive, a full rear dormer, decks taken up and rebuilt, plus kitchen and bathroom remodels. BuildZoom lists the broader menu as kitchen, bath, basement and whole-home remodels and additions. The filings run from 2009 through 2019, nearly all in Methuen itself with a couple of jobs in Peabody and Westford. That is a long local run, and the valuations are the scale of a small owner-run crew rather than a big-remodel outfit: mostly $3,000 to $20,000 a job. What there is nothing to go on is the part homeowners usually care about most. BuildZoom states plainly that it has received no reviews for the company, and no other platform contributed anything here. The BuildZoom score of 91 that sits at the top of the profile is derived from permit records, not from anyone's experience of the work, so it should not be read as a rating. Licensing needs care. BuildZoom lists two Massachusetts home improvement contractor registrations for the business — #149658 shown as active with a January 2026 issue date, and #124103 shown as inactive and at one point cancelled — while its own prose says the company holds one HIC plus one other license. Those are the directory's claims, not confirmation, and two HIC numbers on a single profile is exactly the kind of directory bundling that deserves a direct check. Worth calling if you want a Methuen-based crew for siding, a roof strip, a deck rebuild or a dormer, and you are comfortable doing your own reference work. Ask which registration number is current, confirm it yourself with the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation, and ask for two or three recent local addresses you can look at, since there is no public review history to lean on.
