Paul Haggett & Company

Paul Haggett & Company is a design-build remodeling and carpentry firm run out of Marblehead by its namesake owner, who leads estimating, permitting and his own crew directly. The self-reported history points to 30-plus years working North Shore kitchens, bathrooms, decks, additions and historic restorations, with 14 projects posted on Houzz ranging from $1,000 tune-ups to $200,000 full remodels. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor license (HIC #129828) is active on the state registry, held under Paul Haggett's own name. Houzz separately lists a construction supervisor number for the business. The written record is thin but consistent: in a 2019 Houzz review, a repeat client described being extremely satisfied across many projects and said they'd hire him again, calling the crew attentive and the results better than expected; a 2022 Google review called the work professional and knowledgeable on a high-end remodel. A good fit for a Marblehead-area homeowner planning a kitchen, bath, addition, or historic-home project who wants an owner-run crew rather than a large outfit — worth asking for references from a recent job, since the public reviews on file are a few years old.
