Ask around Peabody about NM General Contractor Inc and you'll often hear a different name back: NM Carpentry & Painting, or "Limny's crew." The reviews back that up — 52 Google ratings averaging 4.9, and the 49 behind that score describe nearly the same job each time: scrape and sand a tired paint job, fix whatever wood rot or trim turns up underneath, then repaint it. The last few months show the same pattern. In June, one customer had their house painted, some carpentry repairs done, the gutters replaced, and the exterior power-washed, and called out how carefully the crew handled the details. Two reviews from May describe the same mix — exterior house and garage painting alongside carpentry, with the crew arriving each morning and cleaning the site every evening — and one of them covers PVC trim, clapboard, and rotted wood pulled from behind a gutter, all fixed before the sanding and painting began. Not everyone who reached out this spring got that experience. One reviewer in late April said an online quote request went unanswered, a follow-up call took several days to get returned, and even after the owner came out in person to look at the job, no quote ever arrived by email, text, or call. It's the only complaint among the five reviews posted in the last six months, but specific enough to weigh if you're just starting to reach out for a quote. That focus isn't new. Reviews going back to 2023 describe the same combination of exterior painting and carpentry repair work, consistently crediting the same owner, Limny (also spelled Limney), as the one running the crew personally. It reads as a shop built around exterior painting with carpentry as its natural companion trade, not a general contractor spread across unrelated projects. For a house that needs its exterior painted and the wood underneath repaired along the way, the volume and consistency of praise make a solid case. Get the quote and scope confirmed in writing before work starts, given the one account of a stalled follow-up this spring.

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
