One of the thirteen projects on CT Carpentry's Houzz page is a horse trailer converted into a mobile bar. The rest is more ordinary — kitchens, bathrooms, floors — but the shop runs its own mill, and the cabinetry is what its customers wrote about most. Dan runs the business out of Peabody and works across the North Shore. A homeowner writing in May 2019 said a dated kitchen was reworked for better flow and counter space and called the custom cabinetry the nicest they had seen. Another that week had a kitchen and three bathrooms done together, with advice on doors, a breakfast bar and expanding a shower, tile they wanted reclaimed put back in, and the job finished on time and close to contract. A third had engineered wood flooring laid through a two-bedroom condo. In a bathroom and laundry-room renovation the same month, the customer named Peggy, who coordinated everything, and Shon, the cabinet maker. The two most recent accounts are from 2020: a bathtub and shower area rebuilt with some plumbing repaired, where the customer said Dan kept them posted the whole way and the crew threw in extras, and a repair to a 60-year-old chimney. The one bad account, from October 2019, is specific. That customer said schedules were rarely sent and never followed, that the only way they knew the crew had been there was the dirty footprints left behind, that the front door was repeatedly left unlocked for hours, and that the wrong caulking — not a bathroom product — went on a tub and shower, so a second contractor had to redo it. Some housekeeping before calling. Five of the eight reviews on that page are written about "Millstone Creations" rather than CT Carpentry, and the CT Carpentry account answers them as its own; five of the eight were posted within a single week in May 2019, and nothing there is newer than October 2020. The profile also gives a typical job cost of "$2,500 - 80 million", which is a data-entry slip rather than a price range. For a kitchen, a bathroom or millwork where the cabinetry is the point, this is a small Peabody shop with its own mill and detailed praise for the finished carpentry. Ask for jobs completed in the past year or two, and write into the contract who sends the weekly schedule and how the house gets locked up at the end of each day.
Dan and his team were amazing. They redid my bathtub and shower area and repaired some plumbing. From Demo to completion his team was professional, neat, did top of the line work and had great follow up. Dan kept me informed throughout the project and his team did several extra's for me that weren't on the estimate to make me happy. Dan goes above and beyond to make sure the job gets done well and to your complete satisfaction. I couldn't be happier with the work. I would 100% strongly recommend them to anyone looking to do any home project.
They did a great job repairing our 60 y/o chimney. Fantastic Customer Service. Highly recommend them for any home project.
I would never recommend this company. Very unprofessional customer service. We were rarely sent a schedule for our project, and when we were the schedule was never actually followed. The only way we knew if they showed up to the project that day was the dirty foot prints left in the hallway. Also, whenever they left the project they never re-locked the front door, leaving our house unlocked for hours until we got home after work, even though we asked them repeatedly to lock the door when they were done. In addition, the quality of work was greatly lacking. We had to hire a second contractor to fix some of the issues. Our renovation was a bathroom, and one example of an issue was within the week Millstone was done the project, the caulking seal around the tub/shower unit began to peel off. When the second contractor came to fix the problem, we discovered that the cause of the problem was Millstone used a caulking that was not meant for bathrooms or for repeated water exposure to seal a shower/tub unit. The second contractor used the proper materials and we have not had an issue since.
Millstone Creations remodeled our very dated kitchen and we are so pleased with the results! From design conception to create a better flow and much more counter space to help with choosing materials Millstone Creations staff was awesome! The custom cabinetry is the nicest I've seen and the attention to detail (pull outs, soft close slides & hinges) is unparalleled. We could not be happier with the results!
Millstone Creations was great to work with from start to finish. They installed an engineered wood floor throughout my 2 bedroom condo - including the kitchen. It is beautiful! The workmanship is superb and every detail was taken care of. In addition to the install, the cost included moving all furniture (I had some very heavy pieces), removal of all trash, replacement of molding, and final clean-up. All members of the crew were professional and I highly recommend them.
