George Glynos Construction

George Glynos Construction works out of 6 Pine Ridge Rd in Essex, on Massachusetts' North Shore, and is run by George Glynos himself. The company says it began as Jack Glynos Construction under George's father, Jack, and passed to George when his father retired; it puts its own history on the North Shore and Cape Ann at more than thirty-five years, with roofing and siding work there since 1985. What it takes on is broad for a small outfit: roofing and siding, window replacement, and kitchen and bathroom renovations, alongside framing, trim and flooring work. Houzz lists it under general contracting across twenty-eight North Shore and Merrimack Valley towns, Marblehead among them. Its written record is short and dated. One homeowner review, from September 2015, describes a full kitchen gutted to the studs and rebuilt to code: the reviewer credited George with steering them toward good cabinets cheaper than big-box stores, keeping the subcontractors on schedule, and finishing on time, and said they had already recommended him to a neighbour. That same 2015 account carries the one thing worth raising on a first call. The job ran about $10,000 over the planned budget, roughly half of it from an exterior kitchen wall found with virtually no insulation plus owner-requested changes, and the homeowner said they would have liked a more itemised receipt showing where the money went. They also found the plumber slow at the tail end while praising the electrician. Houzz's 4.0 rating rests on that single entry. Houzz prints a Massachusetts construction supervisor number, CS-062234, for the company, and the business's own site says only that it is licensed and insured in Massachusetts without publishing a number. Neither of those is a state confirmation, so ask to see the registration and the insurance certificate yourself, and ask for a line-itemed written estimate with a written change-order process before work starts. For a North Shore homeowner wanting one long-established owner on site through a kitchen, roof or siding job, this is a reasonable call to make — with the caveat that almost nothing has been written about the work publicly in the last decade.
