George Avery is a Harwich Port finish carpenter running his business as a sole proprietorship; the Better Business Bureau lists him at 25 years in business under his own name, George J. Avery. On Houzz he describes doing 'any type of carpentry,' backed by a detailed service list — baseboards, crown molding, custom cabinets, built-ins, and interior and exterior doors — rather than a generic trade menu, and he says he covers 25 towns across the Mid and Lower Cape. There are no reviews on file anywhere — BBB, Houzz, and BuildZoom all show zero — so there's no customer account of the actual work to weigh. What stands in instead is the licensing and permit history: Massachusetts' own registry confirms his Home Improvement Contractor registration (#182180) is active, and BuildZoom shows 37 permitted carpentry and remodeling projects across Cape towns since around 2019, along with a Construction Supervisor license (CS-092809) it lists as active. An earlier HIC number under his name, #139276, now shows cancelled per state records — the currently active #182180 is the one that's verified. Because no customer has left a review anywhere online, it's worth asking directly for references or photos from recent jobs before booking; the permit and licensing history point to a long-running, actively working carpenter, but the quality of the finish work itself isn't documented publicly yet.
