Verified record
John Hinchey is a Swampscott-based general contractor with an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (#175829), verified directly against the state registry. His permit history is Marblehead-focused kitchen and bathroom renovation work. In a detailed 2020 review, a customer described a top-to-bottom home renovation, calling him "a true craftsman" who showed up and finished on time, with clear invoices and competitive pricing — the kind of specific, unprompted detail that's rare in a five-star review. His Marblehead permits include a $137,850 new kitchen at 16 Ida Rd in 2023, kitchen cabinets, french doors and a new bathroom at 12 Sagamore Rd plus separate structural work there (raising collar ties, insulating and rehanging sheetrock in a master bedroom) in 2022, and a $16,500 new bathroom at 26 Preston Beach Rd in 2022. One inconsistency worth noting: BuildZoom's own auto-generated blurb describes him as having "four years of experience in residential construction and remodeling," which doesn't line up with that 2020 review describing a completed whole-home renovation more than six years ago — the BuildZoom summary text looks like the less reliable figure here. For a kitchen or bathroom renovation in the Marblehead/Swampscott area, he has a verified active license and one strong, detailed review to go on — worth asking for more recent references, since the one review on file dates to 2020.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from John Hinchey. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Estimated range
$23,000 – $35,000
Typical remodeling project around $29,000
Renovated our home inside and out. John is a true craftsman. He renovated our home from top to bottom. You can tell John is trained at his trade and takes pride in his work. He is a person of his word, shows up on time, finishes a project on time, his invoices are clear and his pricing competitive. His communication is excellent, keeps a project on track, John is organized. I would highly recommend John Hinchey Construction.
