John V Nicholson Carpenter Bldr is a one-man carpentry and building outfit run by John Nicholson from Dixwell Avenue in Quincy. The permit file is small and scattered across the region: six projects covering carpentry, kitchen remodels, porches and door, window and siding work — two of them at the same Dracut Street address in Methuen, the rest in Plymouth, Arlington, Somerville and Malden. What it sells is the carpentry trade proper: cabinets, framing, finish carpentry, doors and windows. No customer sentiment exists to weigh. BuildZoom states plainly that it has received no reviews for the business, and its score of 91 is drawn from permits and licence records rather than anyone's experience. The licence listing is a directory bundle rather than a credential summary, and it is worth treating with care. Nine records appear across four types: five different Massachusetts home improvement contractor numbers, of which #180393 is the one marked active and four (#180444, #162381, #146712 and #104332) are shown cancelled; two construction supervisor numbers, both cancelled; and one city number printed twice under two different trades, marked unverified with a December 2022 expiration. For small carpentry work in the Quincy area this is a long-standing local name. Ask him which registration number the job will be written under, check that certificate and his insurance directly, and ask for recent references.
