Steven Spillane works out of Swampscott, but his permit record reads like a Marblehead contractor's: additions, whole-house renovations, kitchens, baths, decks and window work, almost all of it inside that one town. He holds both Massachusetts credentials that matter for this kind of work, and both check out against the state registry: construction supervisor licence CS-115104, which covers structural work, and Home Improvement Contractor registration 196335, which is what backs the state's Guaranty Fund on residential jobs. The registry lists them to Steven P Spillane and Steven Spillane — his own name, which is also the business name. Seventeen permitted projects are on file, typically around $86,000 each and running well beyond that at the top: a $172,093 two-storey addition with a deck on Village Street in 2024, a $125,000 master bedroom and bathroom addition on Curtis Street in 2023, an $88,000 renovation of a master and guest bathroom on Humphrey Street in 2022, an $80,670 kitchen renovation on Auburndale Road in 2024, and a full condo gut on Skinners Path in 2021 that included a structural beam in the kitchen, a second-floor balcony deck and two new bathrooms. Exterior work shows up repeatedly too — stripping and replacing sidewall shingles with new windows, doors and PVC trim on Beacon Street in 2024 at $91,500, and a twelve-window replacement with red cedar shingles in 2021. The company describes itself as bringing two decades of experience to North Shore residential work. The gap here is customer feedback: nothing is published about him by the people who hired him, on any platform in this record. The permits establish that the work happened, at what scale and where, but not what the experience of it was like. For a Marblehead or Swampscott homeowner planning an addition, a whole-house renovation, or a kitchen or bathroom on an older coastal house, he is a properly licensed, locally proven choice on paper. Ask for three references from recent jobs, and ask to see one of the additions finished — the permits make those easy to point to.
