Douglas O Young Construction

Douglas O Young is the contractor you call when something is broken rather than when you want something beautiful. His permits read that way: fire damage in a Beverly apartment repaired in November 2024, broken decking on apartment decks in June 2023, a Danvers side wall reframed in 2013 after a vehicle drove into the building, and — in July 2018 — existing fire escapes and railings repaired at 293 Nahant Rd in Nahant. There is remodel work alongside it: bathrooms in Peabody and Arlington, a kitchen and new back door in Peabody, kitchen cabinets on Main Street, and a $150,000 Peabody addition in 2010, the largest job on file. Most permits sit between $5,000 and $15,000. BuildZoom describes a business led by Douglas O Young personally, with 27 years in construction, serving single-family and small multi-family properties around Lynn. It scores the profile 93 and says it verified two current licences: home improvement contractor #180395, issued in June 2026, and construction supervisor #CS-103422. Two older home improvement registrations, #121156 and #164870, are listed inactive and at one point cancelled. Those are the directory's records rather than confirmations. No customer has written about the work, so there is no rating here. A sensible call for repair and restoration on an older or multi-family building around Lynn and the North Shore. Confirm both licence numbers with the state, and ask for references from the past year — the permit pace has been slow, two in three years.
