# NAMU Fine Woodworking LLC **Trade:** Carpentry · **Address:** 58 Pulaski St, Peabody, MA 01960, USA · **Phone:** (603) 400-7717 · **Website:** http://www.namuma.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.2/5** (medium confidence) — from 7 reviews across 4 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read NAMU Fine Woodworking is a Peabody-based custom woodworking and full-service remodeling shop run by three craftsmen — Su Kim, Chaebeom Lim, and Jayce Gong — who the company's own site says are WorldSkills Competition medalists in joinery and cabinet making: a bronze in Helsinki (2005), a gold in Calgary (2009), and a silver in Bordeaux (2016). The company also holds an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor license. That craftsmanship background shows up directly in the reviews. Multiple customers describe full kitchen and bathroom renovations — one review describes a major kitchen, living room, and full-bath renovation in Concord with detailed woodworking and tiling; another describes a kitchen and three full bathrooms redone, with the reviewer waiting six months to post so they could confirm the work held up. A separate review describes trim work — baseboard, wall, and crown moldings — plus a custom-built desk for a home office, finished a day ahead of schedule. In a 2021 review, one customer described a deck project completed in a single week, calling the pace "unheard of" compared to other contractors they'd worked with. Reviewers consistently point to organization and communication: jobs described as methodical, detail-oriented, and on schedule, with one reviewer specifically naming the team's early-morning start times (7:30am) and steady punctuality. A Korean-language write-up on a local community site echoes the same theme — easy communication with the owner and reliably keeping to the agreed schedule and price. Google shows 5 stars from 11 ratings, and every review on file, from 2021 through early 2026, is positive. For a custom woodworking, cabinetry, or full kitchen/bathroom remodel in the Peabody/North Shore area, NAMU's calling card is a small, credentialed craftsman team with a track record of finishing detailed work on or ahead of schedule. **Strengths:** - WorldSkills medalist team — internationally credentialed craftsmen - Fast turnaround — deck finished in a week - Finishes ahead of schedule — detailed trim work, custom builds - Detail-oriented — precise finishes on full renovations ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Holds an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor license _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://contractorhub.mass.gov/s/hic-contractor-search) — “MA hic license 196466 verified active” - Team includes WorldSkills Competition medalist craftsmen in joinery/cabinet making: Su Kim (2005 bronze), Jayce Gong (2009 gold), and Chaebeom Lim (2016 silver) _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](http://www.namuma.com) — “Ownership (self-reported): Run by a team of three WorldSkills Competition medalist craftsmen: Su Kim, Chaebeom Lim, and Jayce Gong.” - [Official Website](http://www.namuma.com) — “Stated certification/affiliation: WorldSkills Helsinki 2005 bronze medalist, Joinery/Cabinet Making (Su Kim)” - [Official Website](http://www.namuma.com) — “Stated certification/affiliation: WorldSkills Calgary 2009 gold medalist, Joinery/Cabinet Making (Jayce Gong)” - [Official Website](http://www.namuma.com) — “Stated certification/affiliation: WorldSkills Bordeaux 2016 silver medalist, Joinery/Cabinet Making (Chaebeom Lim)” - Executed a major kitchen, living room, and full-bath renovation with detailed woodworking and tiling _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNYdTkzUUdnEAE!2m1!1s0x0:0xf4313e4cca02cf8d!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgICXu93QGg%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ The NAMU group made a major renovation of our kitchen, living room, and full bath in Concord.
