Yves M Nadeau

Twenty-four permits, two of them in the last two years. Yves M Nadeau works out of 5 Granite St in Methuen and describes 22 years in the trade; what BuildZoom's permit history shows is a wide-swing contractor — roofing, windows, decks, garages, a foundation repair and kitchen work — booked across Methuen, Brockton, Waltham, Milton and North Easton. That range is the through-line. The permits lean exterior and structural, so if the job on your list is an interior remodel, ask to see recent examples of exactly that work and who does it. The travel spread is worth a question too: North Easton and Brockton are a long way south of Methuen, and it is fair to ask what the schedule looks like from your address. On credentials, BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #127137, issued 4 February 2026 and marked active when it checked in July 2026. Two further city registrations on the same page are unverified, reuse a single number under two different licence types, and print "Active" over a December 2022 expiration date. Treat those as directory bookkeeping rather than credentials, and confirm the HIC registration with Consumer Affairs directly. No customer has written a word. BuildZoom holds no reviews, and the score of 95 on that page — above 78% of the 139,240 Massachusetts contractors it tracks — is built from permits, not from anyone's experience of the work. The permit trail is the useful part here; recent references are what would fill in the rest.
