Glen Eason Carpentry

Glen Eason Carpentry works either side of the state line: BuildZoom gives it a New Hampshire headquarters at 3 Greenough Rd in Plaistow and a local Massachusetts address at 25 Lamoille Ave in Bradford. Glen E Eason and Vito Smith are both listed as owners. The trade is carpentry in the narrow sense — doors and windows, decks and porches, deck repair and framing. Against that, the permit record is a single job: a $3,600 replacement of main entry stairs on Merrimack St in Methuen, pulled in May 2009. That is the whole documented history. The licensing picture is the main thing to settle. BuildZoom carries an explicit alert that there is no active licence on file for this business, and lists three Massachusetts registrations as inactive — Home Improvement Contractor #115354, Home Improvement Contractor #159445 and Construction Supervisor licence #CS-061503 — each noted by the state as at one point cancelled. Framing and deck work is structural, so ask for a current Construction Supervisor licence and HIC registration and check both directly with the Department of Public Safety and the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. No one has written a review of this business on BuildZoom either, so there is nothing on record about how the work went. With one permit from 2009 and no active registration shown, ask for recent references, current licensing and proof of insurance before hiring.
