Creative Carpentry

Richard R. Roop runs Creative Carpentry, a general contracting and remodeling business on Massachusetts Ave in Lunenburg. Better Business Bureau's profile catalogs it as a general contractor doing construction services, home building, bathroom and kitchen remodels, and home additions, and grades the company A+ (it isn't a BBB-accredited business). The reviews on file are squarely about Roop's own work: in a 2021 review, a customer described a run of substantial jobs — converting an attic, taking out a load-bearing wall to open up the first floor, and building out a new backyard deck and patio. An earlier customer, writing in 2016, said they'd used the company for years of renovation and repair work and called Roop knowledgeable about materials and design. Worth asking about before booking: the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 113236, is currently expired, and the written record here is thin and dated — just the two reviews above, five years apart. BBB separately lists a Massachusetts construction supervisor license number for the business. For a structural remodel — an attic, a load-bearing wall, a new deck — the two reviews on file describe exactly that kind of work; just confirm the registration is current and ask for recent references before signing anything.
