## The honest read

A condo in an 1852 house, a master bathroom taken down to the studs, and a surprise waiting behind them — that is the job a Marblehead couple hired Tom DiPietro for after collecting several estimates, and wrote up in 2013. Another customer that year had their whole first floor opened up and the kitchen remodelled, and said Tom listened, adapted, explained and worked inside their budget, with his suggestions along the way all turning out well.

DiPietro Family Contracting is a Marblehead general contractor. The company says Tom DiPietro founded it in 1998 and that it works the North Shore on kitchens, bathrooms, renovations, custom carpentry and historic restoration; Jen DiPietro runs the office and daughter Courtney handles design and marketing. Its Better Business Bureau page lists five employees, and a LinkedIn profile names a lead carpenter on the crew.

The written record is old, and that is the first thing to know about it. All five customer accounts sit on Houzz and run from February 2013 to August 2016, behind a 5.0 average from five ratings. They are specific and consistent: a total gut of a kitchen, bathroom and mudroom plus a new four-season room in 2013; a three-season porch turned into living space in 2011 for a homeowner who had used him repeatedly over six years, including a bookcase custom built to match the room; and, in 2016, a fifteen-year-old deck reboarded in composite with new built-in bench seating, while the Trex decking and stairs that were still sound were left alone.

On credentials, go in with questions. Houzz lists licence number 85054 for the company and an EPA Lead certification, and the company's own site says it holds HIC and CSL registrations without giving numbers — none of which has been checked against the state registry. The BBB page also puts the business at eleven years old, while the company's site says 1998, which would be twenty-eight.

For a kitchen, a bath, or period work on an older North Shore house, what customers described is exactly that kind of job, done carefully and to a budget. Ask for the CSL and HIC numbers and check them yourself, and ask to see two or three projects finished in the last couple of years.

**Strengths:**
- Old-house work — an 1852 condo bathroom taken down to the studs in 2013
- Works to a budget — a 2013 kitchen customer said he adapted and explained throughout
- Repeat client — six years of jobs for one homeowner through 2013
- Custom carpentry — a bookcase built to match the room it went in

**Concerns:**
- Dated written record — all five customer accounts are from 2013 to 2016
- Licences unchecked — the Houzz number and the site's HIC and CSL claims are unverified
- Two company ages — BBB says eleven years, the company's site says 1998

**Where sources disagree:**
- The BBB profile lists DiPietro Family Contracting at eleven years in business, while the company's own site says Tom DiPietro founded it in 1998 and reports 28 years.
