Freitas Custom Carpentry

Freitas Custom Carpentry Co is a one-man carpentry outfit run by Steven C. Freitas out of 8 Beverly Rd in Billerica, and almost everything known about it comes from town permit paperwork rather than customers. BuildZoom's profile lists deck repair, decks and porches, doors and windows, framing and other carpentry, and shows six permits pulled in Cambridge and Arlington between 1997 and 2019 — kitchen demolition and remodel work, a third-floor dormer with new roofing, an interior staircase rebuild, replacement windows in existing openings, and a zero-clearance fireplace, with valuations from about $23,000 to $154,000. That is real, dated work on other people's houses, and it is the most useful thing here. What's missing is anyone's account of how those jobs went: BuildZoom states it has received no reviews, and nothing surfaced on the review platforms or the open web. BuildZoom also lists two Massachusetts home improvement contractor registrations for the company — one it shows as active, and an earlier one it shows as inactive after being cancelled at some point. Those are BuildZoom's records, not something confirmed against the state registry here. If you're considering them, treat this as an unreviewed contractor with a verifiable paper trail: look up both registration numbers yourself at the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs, ask for addresses of recent jobs you can look at, and get references directly, since there are none to read.
