Justin Kelly Contracting

The clearest thing about Justin Kelly Contracting is its paperwork: a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (HIC #181681) that's verified active with the state, and a Better Business Bureau file showing an A+ grade and 24 years in business. Based in Everett, MA, the company says it works residential and light commercial jobs across the Greater Boston area — remodeling and maintenance, historic restoration, millwork, carpentry, demolition, and painting. Everything past the paperwork is thin. The BBB listing has never been accredited and carries no reviews or complaints on file. Houzz shows one project photo set and 11 followers, but zero customer reviews. Google carries only 3 stars from 2 ratings total, with the one review on record dating back to 2023 — not enough to say much about how a real job with this crew tends to go. One thing worth asking about directly: a permit-tracking site, CheckPermit, lists the business under a 'bond cancelled' status, with no explanation of what that covers or when it happened. For a homeowner, this reads as a licensed, long-standing operation whose BBB grade looks good on paper but has almost no independent track record behind it. Ask for recent project references and confirm current bonding and insurance before signing anything.
