Chaffee Carpentry

Chaffee Carpentry is a one-person, owner-operated building and remodeling company that Brad Chaffee has run out of Billerica since the late 1980s — the site says he's worked as a carpenter for more than 35 years and has taken on custom homes, additions, second levels and kitchen and bath remodels with his own in-house crew. Both of Chaffee's Massachusetts licenses check out against the state registry: his construction supervisor license and the company's home improvement contractor registration are both active. BBB has an open file on the business dating to 2005 but hasn't assigned it a rating for lack of information. The written record is thin and dated — a single Houzz review from January 2013 describes a basement refinish, with the homeowners noting the crew was on time, kept them updated, and cleaned up every night before leaving; they had seen Chaffee's bathroom work at a neighbor's house first and were considering hiring him again for an addition. Houzz also shows four posted projects, including a custom home in Burlington, and BuildZoom lists 72 project records tied to the license. Worth asking for recent references directly — there's nothing written more recently than 2013 to go on.
