Dana E Velez

The permits tell the story here. Dana E Velez, working out of Groveland, has 170 permitted projects on file through BuildZoom — 54 of them in the last three years — and the descriptions are almost all the same kind of work: blown cellulose, air sealing, polyiso board, door sweeps and weather stripping. A typical job carries a permit value around $4,000. This is weatherization and insulation retrofit work on existing houses, one house at a time, and a lot of the permits are pulled in Methuen. Worth knowing: BuildZoom files the business under HVAC, mechanical and sheet metal work, which is not what those permit descriptions actually describe. Judge them on the insulation and air-sealing record, which is long and consistent. On credentials, read the directory carefully rather than the headline. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts construction supervisor licence, CS-112315, as active and says it checked that status in June 2026. It separately lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #192066, as inactive or cancelled, plus two City of Newton registrations under one older number, also inactive or cancelled. Those are three separate lapsed records, not part of one live credential — worth asking about directly, since home improvement contractor registration is what gives a homeowner access to the state's guaranty fund. There is no customer opinion to weigh at all: BuildZoom states it has received no reviews for this contractor, and its own score of 104 is calculated from permits and licences, not from anything a customer said. So the permit history is genuinely deep, and the reputation is unwritten. Ask for references from recent weatherization jobs and confirm the current status of the home improvement contractor registration before signing.
