Viviano Construction, Inc

Viviano Construction is a Nahant company run by Stephen D Viviano, and its permit history reads like an outfit that mostly works its own street. Of the six permitted projects on file, most sit at 157 and 145 Nahant Rd — an apartment gutted and rebuilt, siding, windows, roofing, decking, a block retaining wall — alongside a full rebuild of 47 Little Nahant Rd, the company's own address. Those permits run from 2012 to 2021. The largest job is out of town: a $102,500 second-floor rebuild at 29 Bradstreet Ave in Danvers, with separate deck work at 13 Poplar St. That is structural general contracting, not a punch list, and it is the clearest indication of the scale this company takes on. No customer has written about the work. BuildZoom scores the company 93 and puts that in the top 27% of the 139,240 licensed Massachusetts contractors it ranks, but carries no reviews of it. Licensing is the thing to raise before anything else. BuildZoom says it confirmed Construction Supervisor licence CS-110745 as active in July 2026 — the directory's own check, not a state confirmation we made. It separately lists Home Improvement Contractor registration 187802 as inactive, citing Mass.gov that the registration was at one point cancelled. In Massachusetts the HIC registration is the one that covers nonstructural residential home improvement work, so ask directly whether it has been reinstated. The fit here is a structural rebuild or an exterior job on the North Shore. Get the current HIC status, the licence, and a certificate of insurance in hand before you sign.
