Common questions

What homeowners ask first

How do I check if a Massachusetts contractor is licensed?
Massachusetts requires home improvement contractors to carry a Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration and, for work over $1,000 involving structural changes, a Construction Supervisor License (CSL). Verify both at contractorhub.mass.gov using the contractor's business name or registration number. Every listing in this directory cites the license number from a public source with a capture date.
How are contractors ranked on this site?
Organic directory listings are sorted alphabetically or by aggregate public review score — never by paid placement. Featured Partner placements, when present, are clearly badged and sit in a separate sponsored section that never affects the organic order. Every listing shows the public source and capture date for its rating.
Which South Shore towns does this directory cover?
Twenty-five towns across the South Shore of Boston and Plymouth County: Hingham, Cohasset, Scituate, Norwell, Duxbury, Hanover, Weymouth, Braintree, Quincy, Marshfield, Pembroke, Rockland, Abington, Plymouth, Kingston, Carver, Wareham, Middleborough, Halifax, Plympton, Hanson, Whitman, East Bridgewater, Holbrook, and Hull.
Where do the contractor ratings come from?
Every rating on this site is captured from a direct public source: Google Business Profile, Yelp's public business page, or a Better Business Bureau profile. Aggregator scores are never cited. Each rating carries the URL it was captured from and the date of capture.
How much should a roof replacement, kitchen remodel, or addition cost on the South Shore?
Cost ranges are published in our Guides section. Each cost guide is sourced from public data and shows typical, low, and high ranges for South Shore and Plymouth County. The guides explain what drives price (coastal wind rating, historic-district permits, Mass Save rebates) and what to ask a contractor before they quote.
What do I do if directory information is wrong?
Report corrections at /corrections. We review every submission and respond within five business days, updating the listing or explaining why the original citation is correct.
