Vaz Construction Inc. runs out of 89 Howard Ave in New Bedford and is best known on the SouthCoast for exterior work — asphalt shingle roofs, vinyl siding, windows and doors — with a general contracting arm that takes on kitchens, bathrooms, additions and the occasional new house. The company describes itself as family owned and operated; BuildZoom names Michael Vaz and Paulo Vaz as owners, the BBB lists Paul Vaz as President, and the site names Paul Vaz as Owner & President with Mike Vaz as Vice President.
The track record is unusually well documented for a company this size. Building-permit records show 115 permitted projects, 62 of them in the last three years, with a typical permit around $10,400 — mostly strip-and-re-roof, re-side and window jobs across Acushnet, Mattapoisett, Taunton and the Cape, plus a $345,000 new single-family house in Buzzards Bay. Their Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration, number 194131, is verified active on the state registry under Vaz Construction, Inc. They have been BBB Accredited since 2014 and carry an A+ grade.
Customers who are happy tend to praise the same things. A November 2025 reviewer said their roof replacement was quality work, on schedule and completed on time, with the crew cleaning up the property afterwards. A July 2025 siding customer described the whole job as seamless and said extra siding pieces were delivered the same day when they called. In a February 2026 review, a homeowner walked through a kitchen job where the demolition crew cleared everything in a day covering the floors as they went, cabinets went back the next day and countertops the following week — the whole kitchen inside three weeks.
The complaints are worth reading before you sign. In a December 2025 review a customer described no communication, a lack of urgency and a different person on the job week to week, including bathroom walls painted without being wiped down after sanding, which then had to be redone. A January 2024 reviewer said a subcontractor-installed HVAC unit failed 18 months after the work and nobody got back to them about who to claim the warranty from, leaving a $700 bill. And the single most recent review, from July 2026, is a one-star from someone who never received the quote they were promised despite repeated emails and calls.
Worth knowing: their Angi and HomeAdvisor profiles both show a perfect 5.0, but it is the same three reviews syndicated across both platforms, so treat the 4.1 average from 72 Google ratings as the real picture. If you hire them for a straightforward roof, siding or window job, the record is strong. For a longer multi-trade renovation, pin down in writing who your single point of contact is, who is on site each day, and exactly who honours the warranty on subcontracted work.
