Creative Design Carpentry

Creative Design Carpentry works out of 257 Atlantic Avenue in Swampscott, and BuildZoom names Glendon Soares and Sabato Pagliuca as the people behind it. Houzz and BuildZoom carry the same Swampscott address details and the same (781) 598-4359 number, so both listings describe one Massachusetts business rather than one of the several same-named carpentry firms in other states. On Houzz the firm describes its own work as architectural woodwork, classic restorations and custom stairs, alongside bathrooms and kitchens. BuildZoom shows two permitted projects to go with that, one in Malden and one in Somerville, which puts at least some of its work outside its home town. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 180984, as active, and says the business holds two further licences with the state board. The same page also carries two older home improvement numbers, 172645 and 126075, which it records as cancelled at some point. All of that is the directory's own bookkeeping rather than a check against the state register, so ask which number is current and confirm it yourself before work starts. Neither listing publishes a customer review or a star rating, so no rating is assigned here rather than guessed at from a directory score. Treat this as a starting point: ask for recent local references and photographs of finished stair and trim work, and get the registration number in writing.
