Jon Cahill Construction

Jon Cahill Construction is a one-owner remodeling outfit in Beverly, and what it has to show is permits: nine of them, three pulled in the last three years, mostly home additions in the $50,000 to $250,000 range across Beverly, Marblehead, Peabody, Salem and Westford. That size range is the useful detail. These are not odd-job tickets — they are additions and whole-room rebuilds, the kind that put a construction supervisor's number on the permit and keep a builder on one site for months. BuildZoom lists the company's services as kitchen, bathroom and basement remodels, whole-home remodels and additions, and names Jon M Cahill as owner and sole listed employee. Nobody has reviewed the company on BuildZoom. The score of 94 sitting on its page, and the 'top 24% of 139,240 Massachusetts licensed contractors' line beside it, are calculated from permit history rather than from anyone's experience of hiring them. On licensing, BuildZoom says it verified a Massachusetts construction supervisor licence for 1 and 2 family homes, CSFA-066770, as active in July 2026, and a home improvement contractor registration, #177196, as active with an issue date of 19 January 2026. The same page also lists an older home improvement contractor number, #117367, as inactive and at one point cancelled — worth a question, if only to confirm which registration goes on your contract. A reasonable candidate if you are planning an addition or a gut remodel on the North Shore and want someone whose permitted work is at that scale rather than a firm that mostly does small jobs. Since nobody has written publicly about hiring him, ask for two or three addresses from those nine projects and the homeowners' numbers, and check the current registration against the state registry yourself.
