Scott A. Carpenter

Scott A. Carpenter is a one-man carpentry contractor working out of Simons Road in Townsend, Massachusetts. The trades attached to his name are finish and general carpentry, cabinets, doors and windows, and decks and porches. The permit record is the only substantive evidence of what he actually builds, and it is broad for a carpenter: roof strip-and-reroof jobs in Methuen, West Newton, Waltham and Fitchburg, electrical permits for radon-fan wiring in Auburndale, Newtonville and Brookline, a $70,000 kitchen and second-floor bathroom remodel in Arlington, and a $130,000 new single-family house in Tewksbury. Nine permitted projects appear in total, and the record runs from 2009 through 2017 — nothing more recent is on file. There is no customer feedback anywhere. No review platform carries a single rating or written review for him, so nothing here reflects what people who hired him experienced. No rating has been assigned rather than inventing one. BuildZoom's score of 90 is calculated from permit filings and, in its own words, means only that he is licensed or registered with no further information available — it is not a measure of customer satisfaction. The licensing picture needs care. BuildZoom lists seven records across six licence types, and they contradict one another: a Construction Supervisor licence it says it verified active, a second number marked both active and unverified with an expiry date already years past, three City of Newton registrations recorded as cancelled, and a state Home Improvement Contractor registration also recorded as cancelled. Directory licence data is unreliable on exactly this pattern, and none of it was confirmed against the state registry here. If you are considering him for work on your home, ask for his Construction Supervisor and Home Improvement Contractor numbers in writing and look them up yourself with the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety and the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation before signing anything — an HIC registration matters for your access to the state Guaranty Fund on most residential remodeling work. Ask also for references from jobs completed recently, since the public record shows nothing after 2017, and confirm he covers your town: his base in Townsend is a long way from much of the permit trail.
