Beech Tree Carpentry is a one-man Harwich shop built around finish work — built-ins, trim, custom decks — run by founder Leighton T. Allenby II, a Cape Cod native who trained in traditional wooden boat restoration at Rhode Island's IYRS School before turning that same standard to home carpentry. The company says it works across Cape Cod on everything from custom cabinetry and deck construction to kitchen and bath remodeling and historic-home restoration. Its Google history is short but consistently strong: two 5-star reviews, one from each of the last two years. In a 2025 review, a homeowner described a barn project finished on time and within budget, with the site cleaned up daily; a more recent review from March 2026 praised the same thoroughness on a synthetic-decking upgrade, crediting Leighton's step-by-step explanations and attention to detail. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and BuildZoom independently lists the same license number for the company. With just two reviews on record, get a written scope and timeline before booking — sensible with any contractor, but especially useful given how new the review history is. For a Cape Cod homeowner planning a deck, an addition, or a finish-carpentry job who wants a licensed, owner-operated crew, the early record here reads clean.
I recently hired Beech Tree Carpentry to upgrade my deck with synthetic decking, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the entire experience. Leighton’s attention to detail really stood out—he takes great pride in his work, and it shows in the final result. He was very thorough, taking the time to answer all of my questions and clearly explain each step of the project along the way. His knowledge and expertise gave me complete confidence throughout the job. I would 100% recommend Beech Tree Carpentry to anyone looking for high-quality craftsmanship and a reliable, knowledgeable professional.
Leighton Allenby of Beech Tree Carpentry is a consummate professional. He is open to your ideas and makes sensible suggestions. He shows up on time and cleans up everything at the end of the day. Our barn project was done on time and within our budget. We will definitely be using his services again!! I have added some before and after photos.
