Birch and Beam Construction

A carpenter who used to be a firefighter and a contractor who spent years in the military run Birch and Beam Construction out of Groveland. Brothers Joel and Al Tomchik, originally from Peabody, founded the company and describe it on their site as family-owned and veteran-owned. The work they advertise sits at the heavier end of remodeling: full remodels and additions, kitchens and bathrooms, finished carpentry and ADU builds across Boston's North Shore, handled with a network of regular subcontractors. Consultations happen at the house and are free. Their Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #210374, is active on the state registry under Birch and Beam Construction LLC. For a North Shore addition or an accessory dwelling unit, they are set up for jobs that need several trades coordinated rather than a one-person punch list. At the consultation, ask which subcontractors would be on your project and who schedules them, and get the scope, allowances and payment milestones written into the contract before work starts.
