Scot D. Kenworthy Construction

Scot D. Kenworthy's permit history reads like a specific chapter of a career rather than a busy going concern. Between 2007 and 2013 the name turns up again and again on the same kind of job: side-by-side two-family dwellings and the foundations under them, across Everett, Malden and Melrose. Then it thins out. Since then BuildZoom records countertop and interior painting work at a Peabody property in 2018 and 2019, and an electrical feed for a new heat pump in Nahant in 2024. Nine permitted projects in all, against a BuildZoom score of 92 — the top third of Massachusetts contractors. Licensing needs unpicking before anything else. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts construction supervisor licence, #CS-097630, and says it checked that licence as active in July 2026. Two other entries are less comforting: a licence numbered 27131 the site never verified and last saw expiring in May 2016, and an electrician licence, #12062, which the state's E-Licensing Board recorded as cancelled at some point. All three are directory records rather than state confirmations — verify #CS-097630 with the Department of Public Safety yourself, and ask directly about the electrician licence if your job involves wiring. No customer has written about the work anywhere. For a structural job around Nahant this is someone with genuine new-build experience behind him and a supervisor licence the directory says is current. Ask what he has built lately, and get references from this decade rather than the last one.
