James Gaddis

James Gaddis works out of 266 Hale St in Beverly as an architect who also holds a Massachusetts home-improvement-contractor registration and a construction-supervisor license — a combination that points to a design-build practice rather than design-only work. His Massachusetts HIC registration, #177098, is registry-verified active. BuildZoom's permit records show 46 permitted projects with a typical value around $129,000, 16 of them in the past three years — almost all single-family renovations, additions, dormers, kitchens, baths, basements, decks and siding, concentrated in Marblehead and Manchester. The rest of the license picture is more mixed. BuildZoom lists a construction-supervisor license, CS-097276, as active per its own check, and separately shows an architect registration, #30940, twice with two different expiration dates (August 2025 and December 2015) — neither of those is independently verified here. Three other Massachusetts home-improvement-contractor numbers under this business (#126503, #169564, #144847) are shown inactive after being cancelled, distinct from the currently active #177098 — worth asking which registration actually covers your specific project. For design-and-build additions, renovations and kitchen or bath projects on the North Shore, the permit scale here is real; confirm the specific license that applies to your job and ask for recent references before signing.
