Peter Jaquith Creative

Peter Jaquith Creative is a finish-carpentry outfit at 17 Friend St in Beverly, listed on Houzz under woodworkers and carpenters. Its written record is short and dated. In a February 2017 review, a contact at National Floors — someone in the trade rather than a homeowner — wrote that he had worked with Peter for eight years, and described him as reliable, quick to return calls, and precise in his finish work, across jobs ranging from small decks and minor repairs to a total kitchen rehab. The single project posted is a set of retail cashier counters in Newburyport. That is a real, specific account, but it is nine years old and it comes from inside the trade rather than from a homeowner who hired him. If you're weighing him for trim, built-ins or a deck, ask for recent homeowner references and to see finish work completed in the last year or two.
