Brian Aucella Carpentry, Home Remodeling, & Maintenance

Brian Aucella Carpentry is a one-owner shop out of Revere that's been doing finish carpentry and small remodeling work since 2000 — the kind of contractor homeowners hire for a rebuilt staircase, a custom set of built-ins, or a deck that needs real craftsmanship rather than a stock kit. The written record, while it stops in 2019, is a detailed one. In a 2013 review, a customer describes Brian building custom oak bookcases and a window seat with wainscoting detail, plus a custom oak ladder built on-site in their garage — complete with hand-carved safety grips — calling out the level of work as something you'd normally pay a workshop far more for. A 2016 review recounts him guiding a homeowner through flooring choices after water damage ruined a basement carpet, installing plywood and Pergo flooring while working around a tight timeline for a newborn's arrival. Other reviews from 2015 to 2019 describe rebuilt front stairs, replaced door pulls, and deck construction, with recurring notes about fair pricing, cleanup, and being easy to reach with follow-up questions. Before calling, two things on his Angi listing are worth knowing. First, the business's own written blurb claims to be "BBB ACCREDITED," but BBB's own profile for this business — which gives it an A+ grade — states plainly that it is NOT accredited. Second, the same Angi page gives two different figures for how long Brian has been in business: the profile highlights say 45 years, while the blurb text says "25 plus years," and BBB's own records put the start date at 2000, about 26 years. Neither touches the quality of the carpentry itself, but they're worth weighing when the same page is asking you to trust its self-reported claims. Angi separately lists a trade license number for the business, stated to expire September 2026 — that's the directory's own record, not a state verification. For a finish-carpentry job — built-ins, stairs, a deck — the reviews describe real craftsmanship in specific, repeated detail; just don't take every line on the marketing page at face value.
