Jj Carpentry Renovation

Jj Carpentry Renovation is a Somerville carpenter whose work shows up in the permit record rather than in reviews — nine permitted jobs, eight of them within Somerville itself. What those permits describe is structural, not decorative: reinforcing a centre wall down to a basement support beam, framing a new bathroom out of a hallway closet, stripping a house's vinyl siding back to the sheathing and recladding it in HardiePlank, and pulling two disused chimneys out of a house from roof to basement. The permits run from 2020 to 2023, with the most recent at 717 Winthrop Ave in Revere. BuildZoom scores the company 90, which it says puts it in the top 53% of Massachusetts contractors. On licensing, BuildZoom marks the status "Not Required", saying it verified in February 2021 that a carpenter in Massachusetts needs no licence — that is the directory's position, not a registry check we made, so it is worth asking directly what registration they hold before structural work. Nobody has written a review anywhere we found, so there is no rating here. For framing, siding and small structural jobs in the Somerville area the permit history is real; ask for photographs of recent finished work and a couple of local references before booking.
