Chris Kersker

Nine permits in three years, almost all within Beverly's own street grid, and one homeowner's bathroom in Marblehead. Chris Kersker is a one-man remodeling outfit at 29 Pratt Avenue whose Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 183635, is active on the state register in his own name. The work is the everyday North Shore renovation list, at real project sizes. A $70,000 Beverly kitchen with a three-season porch converted to four-season. A $30,000 kitchen taken back to the studs. Three decks in a single stretch — an $60,000 upper-and-lower build with new doors out to them, a 16-by-27 and an 8-by-21. A $50,000 multi-room renovation, a third-floor egress stair rebuilt, and a small fire-blocking and drywall repair he still bothered to permit. Marblehead shows up at 9 Reed Street, where a February 2023 bathroom job — a walk-in shower and steam room replaced inside the existing footprint, new vanity, minor electrical — was filed, marked suspended, then refiled six days later at $34,300. What there isn't is a single word from anyone who hired him. No reviews on any source, which is why there is no rating here — nothing to weigh rather than anything weighed poorly. BuildZoom's profile of him is unclaimed, and the description of his experience on it is the site's own writing, not his. A reasonable call for a Beverly or Marblehead kitchen, bath or deck where you want the owner on the tools and the permit pulled properly. Ask for two or three addresses from the last year and go look at the work — with nothing written about him anywhere, that is the only track record available.
