The biggest job for Shilling Carpentry so far — a Marblehead outfit run by Thomas Shilling and Thomas Shilling Jr. — is a $301,989 whole-house exterior-and-interior renovation on Seaview Ave, permitted in 2021. BuildZoom lists seven permitted projects in total and gives the company a score of 93; the rest of the work includes a $35,270 master-bath renovation permitted in 2024, cedar re-shingling, an interior stairway, and earlier kitchen and bath jobs in Peabody and Charlestown. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#160856) is active on the state registry. A separate construction supervisor license under Thomas E. Shilling, CS-101569, is listed as expired ('Null and Void') on the registry. For a project at this scale, ask who will supervise the permit and confirm current proof of insurance before signing a contract.
