Robert P Sullivan Jr

Robert P Sullivan Jr works out of Norman Street in Marblehead, and the trade he actually lists is carpentry — decks and porches, doors and windows, wood fences, gutters and flashing, cabinets and finish carpentry. The building-permit trail is the most concrete thing about him. Nine permits are on record: an interior demolition for structural investigation on Washington Street in Marblehead in October 2023 valued at $24,000, a side-deck repair on Elm Street in April 2024, and a deck rebuild in Beverly in 2019 and 2020 — three new footings, same footprint. Older permits going back to 2006 cover electrical, gas, plumbing and sheet-metal work across Weston, Holbrook, Brookline, Marshfield and Beverly. The written customer record is a single account and it is a decade old. In a February 2016 review, a homeowner described a three-day bathroom job and said the crew treated the house with respect and walked them through the process. Notably, that reviewer names the company 'Sullivan Construction' rather than the name this listing carries. The licensing picture needs care. BuildZoom shows an electrician's licence, EM-05275, that expired in July 2019 — but it was issued by VERMONT, not Massachusetts, and the same page then discusses Vermont contractor law for a tradesman based in Marblehead. BuildZoom also scores him 0 purely because it could not verify an active licence, which is a licensing statement, not a judgment on the work. So before hiring: ask which entity you would be contracting with, and ask for the current Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration in that entity's name. For deck and porch work in Marblehead and Beverly, the permit record is real and recent — but ask for references from those 2023 and 2024 jobs, because nothing written describes them.
