Nicholas P Freni

Nicholas P Freni is a Lynnfield-based contractor whose Massachusetts permit history centers on deck building and interior renovation, with real work concentrated in Malden and Methuen. Since 2019, permit records show four composite deck rebuilds with rail systems and stairs — at 32 Willard St Malden ($29,400, 2025), 37 Gilbert St Malden ($16,000, 2024), 60 Emerald St Malden ($14,300, 2025) and 64 Catherine Dr Peabody (2019/2020) — plus a second-floor bathroom renovation and hardi-cement siding job at the same Dexter St Malden address, a basement gut-and-remodel with a first-floor kitchen remodel at a Pearl St Everett property, two architectural asphalt shingle roofs, and a Methuen mudroom addition. One permit stands out for a different reason: a $30,000 remodel filed in 2023 for a Beverly address shows a status of canceled. Before hiring, it's worth sorting out the licensing picture directly with the state — BuildZoom's own page can't agree with itself on Massachusetts license #CS-054756, listing the same number in one place as an active, verified license and in another as inactive and 'at one point cancelled'.
