Ar Construction

AR Construction runs out of Everett, and the paper trail that best describes its work isn't kitchens or decks — it's brick. Three separate Google reviews from 2022, all from commercial and real estate clients, describe brick pointing, masonry repairs, and apartment unit turns handled by Rafael (also written Raphael) Santana, each calling him prompt, honest, and reliable to bring back for repeat jobs. One property manager with 40 years in real estate management wrote that they'd used AR for years across their portfolio and trust the work implicitly. Another described hiring the company for apartment unit turns, brick repointing, and unit improvements at their company and being consistently pleased with the quality. A third called the brick pointing work "the best work" and added, almost in passing, that Rafael is "also a good carpenter." That carpentry side shows up on Thumbtack, where the company's profile — based in Everett with about three years in business and two employees — lists cabinetry, framing carpentry, finish carpentry, and deck or porch work, with 58 projects posted and one five-star review from 2024 calling the job "fast and clean." Worth knowing before calling: the detailed track record here comes almost entirely from commercial and real estate clients repeating work across a portfolio, not from homeowners describing a single job — a good sign for a landlord or property manager, but a residential customer should ask directly about experience with a house-scale project before booking. The Thumbtack tenure of three years also reads shorter than the Google reviews going back to 2022 would suggest, so the company likely has more history than that single figure implies. For a landlord or property manager who needs masonry and carpentry work handled reliably across multiple buildings, this is a company with a real track record to point to. For a homeowner considering the same crew for finish carpentry, the evidence for that specific kind of job is thinner — worth a direct conversation about scope before signing on.
