Erik Newman runs Newman's Independant Contracting out of Seaview Avenue in Revere, and his job list is the kind a homeowner tends to need all at once: additions and remodels, decks, garages and outbuildings, doors and windows, wood flooring, ceramic and porcelain tile, drywall, siding, and general carpentry and finishing. His HomeAdvisor profile lists a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license, a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor license and an OSHA 10 certification, and says he works across Essex, Middlesex and Suffolk counties plus southern New Hampshire. The same profile puts his experience at 27 years in its business highlights and at over 15 years in the bio. For someone north of Boston who wants one carpenter to carry an addition, or a deck, floors and trim, from framing through to the finish work, he fits that kind of job. Ask him directly how long he has been contracting, get both licence numbers and check them against the state register, and ask for a certificate of insurance before the work starts.
