McPhail Custom Woodworks

Cabinetry, built-ins, custom trim and stair trim sit at the centre of McPhail Custom Woodworks, a Beverly carpentry business that also lists kitchen and bath remodeling, whole-house renovations, and additions and dormers across the North Shore and Cape Ann. Door and window upgrades round out its own write-up. The company reports an EPA RRP lead-safe renovation certification, the rule that governs work disturbing old lead paint. If the job is trim, built-ins or an addition on an older house, ask for its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration number and check it on the state's licence lookup, ask for a current certificate of insurance, and get photos and a reference from a job the size of yours.
