Zachary Fellows

Zachary Fellows has 101 building permits to his name and exactly one review. That imbalance is the thing to understand about him: a Middleton general contractor whose track record lives in town permit files rather than in customer write-ups, trading as Fellows Construction, LLC — a one-employee company incorporated in February 2013. The work runs broader than a kitchen label suggests. BuildZoom's permit history describes residential additions, new single-family and duplex construction, kitchen and bathroom renovations, decks and finished basements across Danvers, Beverly, Wakefield and Middleton, with a typical permit around $30,000 and roughly ten jobs in the past three years. Danvers issued him a residential building permit on Cabot Road in June 2025. The one written account is not from a homeowner. His BBB file carries a single undated complaint from someone presenting as a trade contractor, alleging the company does not pay the subcontractors it hires and threatens them when they chase payment. Nothing on file answers it. BBB grades the business A+ and states on the same page that it is not BBB accredited — two separate facts, not one. The registrations are worth pinning down. BuildZoom lists an active Massachusetts construction supervisor licence, CS-106626, and alongside it four separate home improvement contractor registrations — 134571, 210708, 184021 and 175456 — each marked inactive and each described as having been cancelled at some point. The same page then asserts he currently holds all five and that they were active when last checked, which its own licence blocks contradict. For a homeowner on the North Shore, the permit record shows real work at real scale, and the written record is one unanswered complaint about paying subcontractors. Before hiring, ask him for a current home improvement contractor registration number, confirm it with the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation, and ask him directly about the payment complaint on his BBB file.
