Craig S Finnerty Construction

Craig S Finnerty Construction is a one-name Norwell outfit whose trail is written in building permits rather than customer reviews. Working out of 36 Newton Ave, it has pulled permits across a wide stretch of eastern Massachusetts — siding, a roof with eleven windows and a door, a roof-mounted solar array, boilers and water heaters, and a kitchen-and-half-bath renovation on Commercial Street in Marblehead. BuildZoom lists the company for kitchen, bathroom, basement and whole-home remodels plus additions, and shows four projects on its profile. That range, plus the permit mix, points to a small general-contracting shop that takes on whole rooms rather than a single component. The honest limit here is that nobody has written about hiring them. BuildZoom's page states plainly that it has received no reviews for the company, and its BuildZoom score of 91 is calculated from permits and licence status, not from anything a customer said. There is no star rating to weigh in either direction. The licence picture needs a call before you sign anything. BuildZoom shows a construction supervisor licence, CS-077594, which it says it checked as active in July 2026 — but that is the directory's own claim, not a state confirmation. Alongside it the same page prints four further records it flags as unverified, and they contradict themselves: number 13139 appears twice, once as a plumber licence and once as a master plumber licence with different expiry dates, and Newton registration 216466 appears twice under two different types, both marked active while citing a December 2022 expiry. This is a reasonable call for a homeowner who wants a small builder with a documented permit history and who is willing to do the verification legwork themselves. Ask for references directly, since none exist online, and check every licence number against the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety and the Office of Consumer Affairs before work starts.
