James J Wilson works out of 22 Collins Street in Amesbury under his own name — a second owner entry on the same profile reads 'Jim Wilson Carpentry' — and the jobs he pulls permits for are the kind that empty a house for a few weeks: kitchen and bath remodels, an addition, siding, decks and screen porches. A 2017 Methuen job ran most of that list at once, an interior remodel covering a new kitchen, a bathroom, a bath/laundry and cellar work with a perimeter drain. The trail is 14 permitted residential projects from 2005 to 2022, spread across Newburyport, Newbury, Groveland, Lowell, Salem, West Roxbury and two in Methuen. Steady small-scale work over 17 years, with nothing filed since 2022. Nobody has written about hiring him. The single page carrying this history publishes no customer reviews at all, and the 0 score printed beside his name there is BuildZoom's own permit- and licence-derived number rather than anything a customer gave him. Licensing is the question to settle before a deposit. BuildZoom lists his Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration #177553 as inactive, and says the state's consumer affairs records had it at one point cancelled; the same page carries an alert reading no active licence on file. That is the directory's account rather than something confirmed against the registry here, so ask him for a current registration number and check it with the state yourself before hiring him for remodeling work.
