The most recent job filed under Jim Wilson Carpentry's name is a 2025 permit at 8 Summer St in Nahant: $34,482 of structural lally-column and beam work. The shop is based at 6 Russell St in Amesbury, and BuildZoom names James J. Wilson as its owner and responsible person. The earlier permits are in Methuen — a front roofed entryway at 171 Old Ferry Dr in 2013, and at 140 East St a front porch rebuild in 2010 and vinyl siding in 2009. BuildZoom lists the services as cabinets, framing, finish carpentry, deck repair, and doors and windows. Settle the paperwork first. BuildZoom lists Massachusetts license #142199 for the business, and porch, entryway and siding work is not exempt from home improvement contractor registration under Massachusetts law — so look that number up yourself on the state's Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation register before you hire, and ask for a current certificate of insurance. For porch and entryway carpentry, framing, deck repair or a door-and-window swap around Amesbury and Methuen, this is the work he has pulled permits for. Get the scope and the price in writing, and ask him for references from his last couple of jobs.
