Francis McCormick Jr

Kitchens are the through-line here. Across 101 permitted projects filed under his name, the descriptions repeat almost word for word — demolish the existing kitchen, install the new one — through Peabody, Beverly, Wakefield, Danvers, Everett and Groveland, plus a Marblehead kitchen at 32 Nonantum Rd permitted in November 2021. Values run roughly $25,000 to $165,000, which puts these in gut-and-replace territory rather than refacing. Two of those permits were pulled under the name 'McCormick Kitchens', which looks like the trading name behind this personal-name listing. The address is 6 Serena Ter in Saugus, and Francis McCormick Jr and Robert E McCormick Jr are both named as owners. Licensing is the thing to sort out before signing. BuildZoom shows construction supervisor licence CS-051304 as verified active in June 2026 and, further down the same page, as inactive and at one point cancelled. It lists a Newton registration, #231861, twice under two different types, calling it active while stating the last expiration date it saw was December 2022, and shows a cancelled Newton electrical contractor licence alongside. None of that is a state verification, and an electrical licence sitting under a kitchen remodeler's name is worth asking about directly. If you want a kitchen taken back to the studs on the North Shore, that permitted history is the substantive thing to weigh. Ask for the construction supervisor number and check it with the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety, ask whether he holds a current home improvement contractor registration, and ask for homeowner references from the Beverly and Peabody jobs.
