George Glynos Construction is a family-run North Shore general contractor based in Essex, doing roofing, siding, window replacement and kitchen/bathroom renovations. George Glynos took the business over from his father, Jack, who started it as Jack Glynos Construction; the company says it's been doing roofing and siding work in the area since 1985 and has served the North Shore and Cape Ann for more than 35 years. There's only one written review on record, but it's a substantial one: in a 2015 Houzz review, a homeowner described hiring George and his crew for a full gut renovation of a roughly 60-year-old kitchen — stripped to the studs and rebuilt to code, with cabinets George steered them toward that were good quality but cheaper than big-box alternatives. The review credits him with keeping subcontractors on schedule and finishing on time, even after mid-project changes (adding a dividing wall) and a surprise discovery of missing insulation in the exterior kitchen wall. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #177026, is active in the state registry under George Glynos Construction Incorporated, and BuildZoom separately lists an active Construction Supervisor license, CS-062234, under the same name. Given how thin the written record is, it's worth asking to see recent, comparable work before committing to a project of this scale.

Hired George & his crew to completely renovate a 60ish year old kitchen. Everything was gutted down to the studs and rebuilt up to code. He steered us toward some good quality but cheaper than big box store cabinets, had all of the sub-contractors working on schedule and finished the project on time. During construction we had some changes (we added a four foot dividing wall between the kitchen and living room) and some challenges (there was virtually no insulation on the exterior kitchen wall!) that he dealt with well. While overall very happy with the project, I would have liked to have had a more itemized receipt to see where my money was going as we went about $10k over the planned budget: roughly half of that was due to the insulation issue, the added wall, and some additional ceiling work, however. Additionally, the electrician was fantastic but the plumber was very slow toward the end of the project, and my wife's favorite pot rack was hung slightly crookedly on the wall (something small that frequently annoys her). I've already recommended George and his crew to a neighbor, and would hire him again for any future projects.
