Jeffrey Grinarml Carpenter

Grinarml Carpentry, doing business as Preservation Carpentry out of Salem, has more than $1.3 million in permitted additions and remodels behind it — bedroom and second-storey additions, gut-and-remodels, and deck rebuilds across Marblehead and Beverly since 2015. Jeffrey Grinarml owns the company, incorporated as an LLC in 2019; its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#203087) is registry-verified active, and BuildZoom separately lists a Construction Supervisor license (#CS-083988) for the business. The Better Business Bureau gives it an A+ grade, though the business is not BBB accredited. The bulk of that work is substantial: a $354,023 two-storey addition and deck with a chimney demo in Marblehead, a $317,539 two-storey addition with a bathroom remodel, a $295,335 gut-and-remodel with a second-storey addition in Beverly, and a $133,429 kitchen-and-bathroom remodel with a replacement deck, also in Beverly. Smaller jobs on the list include storm-damage repair with two window replacements, two mudroom additions, a basement stair rebuild, and several standalone deck builds — one an 80-square-foot deck for a future dock on Naugus Ave in Marblehead. The company's permit-derived BuildZoom score is 93. BuildZoom's listing also shows two additional Home Improvement Contractor numbers, #149923 and #176429, associated with the business — worth confirming directly with the state registry, since the currently active, registry-verified number is #203087. This is a fit for a homeowner planning an addition or a whole-room remodel rather than a small repair — the permit history is almost entirely projects of that scale. Confirm which of the business's license numbers apply to the contract being signed, and get the project scope and timeline in writing given the size of the past work.
