Jfb Construction Carpintry

Winter is hard on a North Shore porch, and that is most of what people hire JFB Construction for: rotted posts, deck stairs coming apart, front brick steps that took damage. A homeowner who had those steps completely rebuilt and refinished said in an August 2026 review that the price was the best they found and the job finished on time. JFB Construction Carpintry is a family-owned outfit based in Lynn, listing Salem, Beverly, Marblehead, Danvers and Peabody among the towns it serves. Its own site describes residential and commercial work spanning masonry, roofing, siding, decks, remodeling, concrete and snow removal; Thumbtack shows 16 hires and centers the profile on deck or porch repair, masonry, concrete and brick or stone repair, while Angi lists gutter installation and repair and a trade licence number, 194392. The written accounts are recent and concrete. In August 2026 a Thumbtack customer had rotted posts on a side porch pulled out and replaced inside one day, painted and primed, and the crew moved a trellis across the porch when asked. Another August 2026 reviewer had deck stairs taken apart for rot and was kept posted by text with pictures as issues came up. A third had been through a couple of contractors on a roof leak nobody could solve, called JFB and had them there the following Monday. A fourth credited Benjamin and his crew with a chimney repair at a price they called fair and honest. Several reviewers land on price — reasonable, fair, the best they found — and one August 2026 customer said the owner answered the phone every time they called with a question. In September 2026 a homeowner who hired them to inspect gutters said they were on time and answered everything asked. Two things to raise before the crew starts. Thumbtack's ten ratings include one 2-star alongside nine 5-stars, and in a June 2025 review a porch-repair customer mentioned a misunderstanding at the outset that JFB then came through on. Both point the same way: get the scope, the price and the timeline down in writing. For rot repair, steps and small masonry around Lynn and the North Shore — especially when you want it done in days rather than weeks — this is a sensible call. Pin down what the estimate covers and how extra work gets priced once they open up the rot.
