Stutman Contracting, Inc

The company says it got its start in Oxford in 1982, when Steven Stutman opened it as a small carpentry company building additions, decks and renovations for multi-family and commercial clients. It's now run by second-generation owner Jillian Baker — the company says she joined in 2007 and became president in 2024 — as a family- and women-owned business; the Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office lists its Women Business Enterprise certification as active through December 2027. Its work today runs toward commercial, multi-family and publicly-funded construction and remodeling rather than single-family projects. BuildZoom's permit records credit the company with 83 projects in towns including Worcester, Fitchburg, Framingham, Arlington, Auburn and Boylston and give it a BuildZoom Score of 95. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#101127) is active on the state registry, the company says it carries EPA lead-safe renovation certification, and the Better Business Bureau gives it an A+ rating, though it isn't BBB-accredited. Court filings also show a case, Stutman Contracting, Inc. v. Hussey Seating Company, naming a seating supplier. For a project this size, get the scope, insurance certificate and timeline in writing up front, and ask for references from a comparable commercial or multi-family job.
