Brian E Jacob

Brian E Jacob is a residential remodeling contractor based at 17 Ames Rd in Marblehead, Massachusetts, reachable at (781) 771-9374, with Brian Jacob listed as the owner. The work on offer runs to kitchens, bathrooms, basements, whole-home remodels and additions. The permit record backs that up and shows real structural capability rather than surface work: in 2011 a $50,000 job in Nahant added a connecting structure between existing buildings along with a covered porch, kitchen expansion, window and stair replacement, and in 2013 the same Furbush Road property was raised to meet flood code at a valuation of $322,000. Smaller jobs on file include a reroof in Peabody and a laundry-room toilet and sink addition in Brookline, both in 2012. That permit history is now more than a decade old — the most recent filing on record dates to 2013 — so it speaks to what this contractor has done rather than to current volume. The towns involved, Nahant, Peabody and Brookline alongside the Marblehead base, are a normal North Shore working radius. A Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration, number 165221, is listed as active with an issue date of October 22, 2025 and the holder name matching the business. That comes from a directory rather than the state registry, so confirm it directly with the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. No customer reviews or ratings exist on any platform, which is why no rating is given here. For a North Shore homeowner planning an addition, a structural raise or a full-house remodel, the permit history is a genuine credential worth asking about — request recent addresses and references, confirm HIC 165221 against the state's own lookup, and get scope, schedule and price in writing.
