Christopher H Castner

Twenty-five permits, thirteen of them in the last three years, and most of them in Marblehead: Christopher Castner builds additions, renovates kitchens and bathrooms and reworks rooflines, at a typical permit value around $85,700. The business behind the permits is Castner Carpentry, LLC, working from Bonad Road in Marblehead, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #189280, is active on the state registry. BuildZoom also lists a Massachusetts construction supervisor licence, CS-086561, and the company's own page says it has more than a decade behind it, serving Marblehead, Salem and Swampscott. The advertised list runs to kitchen, bathroom and basement remodels, whole-home renovations and additions — the same work the permits describe, which is a better sign than a marketing page on its own. If you are adding onto a house or reworking a kitchen on the North Shore, this is a builder whose filed work is mostly that exact job, close to home. Ask to see one of the recent Marblehead projects nearest to yours in size, get proof of liability insurance, and put the schedule and payment milestones in the contract before demolition starts.
