# 99 FINISH CARPENTRY **Trade:** Carpentry · **Phone:** (617) 356-0001 · **Website:** https://www.99finish.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.2/5** (low confidence) — from 5 reviews across 4 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read 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.
