Cruikskank's Carpentry has pulled eight building permits since 2002, the newest in 2025, in Townsend, Dunstable, Acton, Westford, Methuen, Beverly, Pepperell and Littleton. It is Matthew Cruikshank's shop, based at 11 Turnpike Road in Townsend. The most recent of those permits is a $24,075 deck rebuild in Dunstable in 2025, and the permit for it reads expired. Decks and porches, framing, cabinets and deck repair are the carpentry services the shop lists on BuildZoom. Two details on that BuildZoom profile are worth clearing up on a first call. The business name is spelled Cruikskank's while the owner's surname is Cruikshank, and the phone number shown is a New Hampshire 603 line against the Townsend address. BuildZoom also lists Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration #158000 for the business. A deck, a porch or framing work is squarely what this shop does, and the permit trail runs long enough to show it has been at it for over twenty years. Before booking, confirm which name and number belong to the business, look up registration #158000 on the state's registry yourself, and get the written scope and proof of insurance in hand.
