McIntosh Carpentry is James McIntosh's Haverhill carpentry business, and the customers who hire him tend to come back: a March 2026 Google reviewer said he had done their kitchen, bathroom and four-season porch, and an April 2026 reviewer said they have worked with him since 2019. Google shows 5 stars from 47 ratings. Massachusetts HIC licence 195510 is active on the state registry, held by James McIntosh. Much of the praise is for built-ins and finish work. In a 2025 review, a customer described built-in cabinets and bookshelves around a fireplace with carefully placed shelf-peg holes, and another 2025 customer had three custom dressers built into tricky spaces and installed ahead of schedule. A 2024 review describes a fireplace mantle and barn door made from 160-year-old reclaimed pine, delivered on time and within budget. In July 2026 a customer said he replaced a small front porch and built a composite deck over an old cement slab. Larger remodels show up too. A 2023 reviewer described a kitchen remodel quoted by task, time and cost, with his subs handling asbestos, rotten cast iron waste lines and hidden electrical problems. Several reviewers call his pricing reasonable, and a 2022 customer said he built temporary steps so an elderly dog could get outside during a back-stair rebuild.
I received Jame's contact info from one of his repeat clients who raved about his work. James has now replaced my small front porch, and constructed a new composite deck on the back of my house on top of old cement slab. He is a pleasure to work with, very detailed, does what he commits to and during the timeline he commits to. I recommend him highly for any project you have. He is very versatile, and an expert in his field of work. I am sure he will continue to receive my phone calls with other projects. Thank you James for your fine workmanship.
We’ve been working with James since 2019, and every experience has been above and beyond. His work is impeccable, he is reasonably priced, and his professionalism is top-notch. He is also extremely pleasant, helpful, and easy to work with. He has done projects for us ranging from building work tables and storage units for our clay studio, building a mug shelf onto an existing cabinet that looks like it was part of the original unit, putting in walls to clean up a bulkhead area, and numerous other odd jobs. He is our absolute go-to for everything. I couldn’t give a higher recommendation; wish I could give more stars.
We have worked with James for three house remodeling projects- our kitchen, bathroom, and four season porch- and we have loved all of the results. James is responsive, reliable, amazingly hard working, and skilled. He's our first call when we need help with a home project. He's spent so much time in our home in recent years that he's like a member of the family. We all look forward to seeing him- he's funny and kind to our kids. You won't regret working with James (just don't hog him, b/c our next home project is just around the corner).
James’ work is amazing. He is meticulous and creative. Highly recommend him!
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with McIntosh Carpentry! James built us three custom dressers in very tricky spaces and the finished product is just beautiful and highly functional. His design has given us abundant storage and looks very attractive in the spaces. James was wonderful to communicate with regarding the project and the installation was completed ahead of schedule. We will definitely work with James again in the future.
