Peniel Carpentry Inc

Peniel Carpentry works out of 18 Grant St in Beverly and, by its own HomeAdvisor listing, has been at it six years. The jobs behind its reviews are the outside-of-the-house kind: exterior trim repair, decks and porches, a wood fence, and one greenhouse. The whole written record arrived at once. All 11 HomeAdvisor ratings are five stars, and every one of them was posted in September 2025 — most only a few words long, several written in Portuguese. The fullest of them, from that September, calls the work agile and praises the finish; another says the crew was fast, honest and clean. A trim repair in that batch was priced at $13,000 and a deck repair at $10,000, so the work isn't only small patch jobs. The company's page says it's insured and offers free estimates, and it advertises Spanish-speaking service; no licence number appears there. For a deck rebuild or trim rot on the North Shore this is a reasonable shortlist candidate, but the record behind it is one month deep on one platform. Ask for addresses of two of those 2025 jobs you can drive past, and get the scope and price in writing.
