Alpine Woodworks, Inc. is a Salem-based carpentry business run by owner Richard Laperchia, with 29 years in business according to its Better Business Bureau listing, which also gives the company an A+ grade (though it isn't a BBB Accredited Business). Public detail beyond that is thin. A 2018 LinkedIn post described Alpine restoring historic fence posts on a Salem house built in 1818 — of roughly a dozen original posts, only three remained — and called the resulting craftsmanship impressive. No Google or other written reviews are on file. Given how little there is to go on beyond that one account, anyone considering Alpine Woodworks for carpentry or restoration work should ask directly for references and photos of more recent projects.
“Restoration of two historic fence posts in Salem, MA. The House was built in 1818, looking at some old photos I counted approximately 11 or 12 fence posts, now there are only 3 left. Awesome craftsmanship.”
