Visual similarities noted — cleared by the overall checks

Our vision model noted some visual similarity to a known brand, but the domain, security records, and reputation checks confirm this is the legitimate site — so this is shown for transparency, not as a red flag.

Confidence
The domain registered in February 2018 and remains active through 2029. The business holds a verified New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor license that is currently active. Physical address and phone number listed on the site match multiple directory listings including Yelp and BuildZoom. Our antivirus network returned zero detections and the hosting IP shows no abuse history. The evidence package found three positive directory mentions and zero scam reports or complaints. The 403 error in the screenshot is a server-side access restriction rather than a sign of malicious intent.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page presents Finn Construction as a Wall Township, New Jersey contractor offering new homes, additions, renovations, and historic restorations. The body text lists a physical address at 1902 Barbee Ln, Wall Township, NJ 07719 and phone number 732-974-1707. No contact email appears on the page and no login forms or countdown timers are present.

Infrastructure

The site loads over valid SSL issued by Let's Encrypt with 50 days remaining. The hosting IP 35.212.87.51 carries an abuse score of zero and zero abuse reports. No redirects occur and the domain shows no homoglyph or IDN characteristics. External scripts load from googletagmanager.com and facebook.com only.

Domain History

The domain finnconstructionnj.com was registered on 2018-02-01 through Wild West Domains, LLC and is set to expire in 2029. WHOIS privacy protection is disabled. The 8.4-year age places the registration well before any recent scam waves targeting construction trades.

Web Reputation

Our research located three positive directory entries: BuildZoom notes the company ranks in the top 53% of licensed New Jersey contractors; Birdeye and Yelp each show a single 5-star review. No scam reports, complaints, or negative mentions appear on Reddit, BBB, or general web sources. The business registration record confirms an active New Jersey contractor license #13VH02863400.

What this means for you

The combination of long domain history, verified state licensing, matching physical address across directories, and clean security scans indicates a legitimate local contractor. The 403 error prevents full visual confirmation but does not alter the underlying legitimacy signals.

What to do

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on finnconstructionnj.com and not a lookalike like f-innconstructionnj.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on finnconstructionnj.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • finnconstructionnj.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 85/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. finnconstructionnj.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR2, expiring in 50 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • finnconstructionnj.com is 8.4 years old, registered on 2/1/2018 through Wild West Domains, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report finnconstructionnj.com as clean.
  • No. finnconstructionnj.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • finnconstructionnj.com resolves to an IP operated by Google LLC in US (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on July 8, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around finnconstructionnj.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
