Cruikskank's Carpentry

There are no customer reviews to go on here — not one, anywhere. What exists instead is a paper trail: eight building permits pulled between 2002 and 2025, spread across Townsend, Dunstable, Acton, Westford, Methuen, Beverly, Pepperell and Littleton. Cruikskank's Carpentry works out of 11 Turnpike Rd in Townsend and is run by Matthew Cruikshank. BuildZoom lists it for cabinets, framing, general carpentry, and decks and porches including deck repair, and lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 158000, against the company. Two things deserve a direct question. BuildZoom's own score of 90 places the business at the 47th percentile of 139,240 Massachusetts contractors — and that score is built from permit history, not from anything a customer said, so it is not a rating. The most recent job on file, a 2025 deck rebuild in Dunstable valued at just over $24,000, carries a permit status of expired. Worth noting for anyone trying to reach them: the listing spells the business 'Cruikskank's' while the owner's name is Cruikshank, and the phone number is a New Hampshire 603 line against a Massachusetts address. If you are considering them for deck or framing work, ask for references from recent jobs and confirm the registration directly with the state. There is no customer history here to lean on either way.
