99 Finish Carpentry is a Boston-area contractor for detail-heavy carpentry and renovation work, with a Massachusetts HIC license verified active in September 2026. Its own site describes a local operation covering West Roxbury, Brighton, Newton, Needham, Dedham, Wellesley, Weston, Chestnut Hill, Jamaica Plain, and Westwood. The recent customer stories are concrete. In October 2025, a Newton homeowner described a dormer built around a specially engineered LVL triangle, praising Dori for studying the plans and modeling the solution before starting. July 2025 reviews describe porch and back-step work, plus deck repairs that included checking surrounding areas; that customer called the work timely and competitively priced. A 2024 review describes repurposing shelving and doors, with pricing called reasonable. The mix is broader than trim alone: customers mention framing, decks, porches, steps, dormers, shelving, and custom carpentry. BuildZoom lists a score of 90 and the same Massachusetts HIC license as active, while the state registry independently verifies license 212177 for 99 FINISH CARPENTRY INC. This looks suited to homeowners who need careful carpentry inside an existing renovation, especially structural framing paired with finished details. Before signing, confirm the exact scope, permit responsibilities, schedule, and which portions of a multi-trade renovation 99 Finish Carpentry will manage directly.
Dori and his team are great carpenters. His company built a dormer on my attic in Newton, and the results were highly professional. I especially appreciate his dedicated focus throughout the project. I interviewed multiple carpenters for this job, which involved a specially engineered design using an LVL triangle to support the dormer. Dori was the only one who took the time to thoroughly study the engineer’s plan and even confirmed his understanding by creating sketches and modeling them in his software. That kind of dedication and willingness to think through the structure sets him apart from the average contractor — he doesn’t just follow the design; he collaborates with others to achieve the best result. Dori is also a clear and reliable communicator. His contract was detailed, transparent, and well-documented. As he says, he takes pride in his work — and it shows. I highly recommend him.
Dori did amazing work on my porch & back steps. He was thoughtful about every detail, and the finished product looks awesome!
Dori and 99 Finish Carpentry did some repair work on my deck. They did an excellent job! They repaired the basics, but then went above and beyond, checking other areas to make sure things were done right. They were very professional, timely, and competitively priced. Dori was great to work with! I would definitely use his services again and highly recommend him!
What an incredible result! Dori’s work was exceptional throughout the consultation, project scope, and project completion phases. His work repurposing available shelving and doors for use in this project was a game-changer for me. The project’s pricing was reasonable. I give 99 Finish Carpentry my highest recommendation.
I would like to provide outstanding feedback and recommendations for Dori from 99 Finish Carpentry. I live in West Roxbury and happened to pass by another job he was performing in the neighborhood. I was in search of someone to do some framing work in my basement and Dori caught my attention with his excellent work. When I approached him, he was very polite and eager to help, regardless of the size of the job. Dori's quality of work is truly excellent and I am extremely satisfied with the results. I highly recommend him for any carpentry work and am confident that he will deliver top-notch results. If you are in need of any carpentry work, do not hesitate to reach out to Dori. You won't be disappointed with his work and professionalism.
