NM Carpentry & Painting (legally NM General Contractor Inc) is a Peabody outfit run by Limny, and the through-line across close to fifty Google reviews since 2023 is the same word over and over: meticulous. Reviewers keep coming back to the trim and prep work — sanding, scraping, and surface prep done before a single coat goes on — and the crew's habit of leaving a job site spotless at the end of every day. The bread and butter is exterior and interior painting paired with carpentry: replacing rotted trim, clapboards, and decking, repairing wood rot around gutters, and rebuilding weathered windowsills. Customers also point to siding jobs, gutter replacement, deck structural repairs, and the occasional flooring install or power-wash. In a 2023 review, one homeowner described a full paint-strip on a 1770s antique home; a 2026 review recounted matching PVC trim to replace rotted originals — the kind of detail-oriented work that shows up again and again in the record. Scheduling comes up almost as often as the workmanship: multiple reviewers describe getting a quote within days and the crew starting the job inside a week, with the owner staying in touch by text throughout. Reviews spanning 2023 through mid-2026 describe the same pattern — on time, communicative, and thorough — a long stretch of consistency for a small crew. The one sour note is a 2026 review from someone who never got past the quote stage: after an initial inquiry, calls and texts reportedly went unanswered for weeks with no quote ever sent. It stands out because it's the lone complaint in a nearly unbroken run of five-star reviews, but it's worth knowing before reaching out — following up more than once may be necessary to get a response. Between the volume of consistent, detailed praise and that one responsiveness gap, this reads as a well-regarded small painting-and-carpentry crew — just don't assume the first call gets returned.
What a fantastic job! We love how our house came out. Limmy and his team painted the house, completed carpentry repairs, replaced the gutters, and power washed the exterior. Their attention to detail was outstanding, and they were professional, neat, and a pleasure to work with. Limmy offered thoughtful solutions that will help protect and maintain our home for years to come. We are extremely happy with the results and highly recommend him.
Excellent Painting and Carpentry Contractor. Very professional. Exterior house and garage painting on this project with additional carpentry work performed. Crew worked hard and performed thorough surface preparation in advance of painting. Set up each morning and cleaned up the work site each evening. Owner was easy to work with and kept us informed of the scheduling throughout. Definitely would recommend NM and would work with them again if another project comes up.
Great work at a reasonable price. They replace trim with PVC, several pieces of clapboard and the rotten wood behind a gutter. They also scrapped, sanded and painted. They did a thorough job sanding and prepping before painting the sides of the house and shutters. Before you engage another painter for exterior work ask if they will be using power sanders like NM does. Really happy with the finished work.
Submitted an inquiry for a quote online - no one got back to me. I finally called given the listed number - took several days for the person to get back to me. The owner finally came to my location to look at the job. I asked him to send me a quote and provided him with my email. I NEVER got it. I tried texting and calling and have not received a reply - I was ghosted. Not sure if others experienced the same, but I would recommend looking elsewhere (wasted 2 to 3 weeks on NM Carpentry with nothing to show for it).
Absolutely phenomenal work! They painted and replaced rotted wood on my home, and the results exceeded all expectations. The attention to detail was outstanding, and the team was incredibly reliable and hardworking from start to finish. You can truly see the pride they take in their work. I can’t say enough about how amazing they were—highly, highly recommend
