North Shore Design, Inc

North Shore Design is the contractor other designers call. The only written account of its work comes from a kitchen designer rather than a homeowner: on Houzz in November 2015, Mary Porzelt of Boston Kitchen Designs wrote that she had sent clients to the company for over ten years, that Joe kept them posted on what was happening next, that the crew showed up when it said it would, and that they left her clients' houses clean. The company works as a general contractor on residential and light commercial jobs, hiring and running the subcontractors a project needs, and its Houzz portfolio runs to sixteen project sets — the bulk of them kitchens. The Better Business Bureau lists it at 86 Hammond Street in Rowley with two employees and an A+ grade; it is not BBB accredited, which is a choice about paying for a program, not a mark against the work. BBB opened the file in 2017 and puts the business at eleven years old, while its Houzz page gives a Saugus address, so confirm which office you are actually dealing with. Worth knowing before you call: the entire written record is that single 2015 account, and it was written by a trade partner who refers work rather than by someone who hired the company for their own house. Nothing published since speaks to how the crews run today. If you are working through a kitchen designer or cabinet shop and need someone to execute the build, this is the kind of outfit that role describes. Going direct, ask for two or three kitchens finished in the last year, the addresses, and permission to call those owners — and ask who holds the construction supervisor licence and HIC registration on the job.
