A Cut Above Carpentry

A Cut Above Carpentry is a Worcester sole proprietorship on West Mountain Street, run by George Gould since 2004, with Ann Gould organising the projects. Massachusetts registry records verify two active licences held in George Gould's name: Home Improvement Contractor registration 157708 and construction supervisor licence CS-098242. The work described is interior carpentry and restoration. A Worcester Reddit commenter in May 2026 recommended the company after water damage, saying George restored a room in their home and calling the work clean, the owner honest and the price more than reasonable. A March 2026 Google reviewer described a bedroom remodel done cleanly and carefully with close attention to detail, praised Ann's responsiveness to calls and messages, and said expectations and pricing were explained without pressure. BBB lists the business as offering carpentry, home improvement, additions, roofing and window contracting, files it as started in 2004 and grades it A+, though it is not accredited and carries no reviews or complaints there. The caveat is volume: two customer accounts in total, both from 2026. What exists is specific and consistent — a named owner doing the work, a named coordinator handling scheduling, verified licences — but there is not enough history to test how the business handles a larger or troubled project.
