C.E. Smith Carpentry and Home Improvements

C.E. Smith Carpentry and Home Improvements is a South Waltham, Massachusetts carpenter customers know simply as Chris — reviewers name him directly in nearly every account of the work. The Better Business Bureau lists the business with an A+ grade and seven years in business as of 2026; Angi's own listing puts it at ten years and a Waltham address, with additions, handyman work and kitchens among its offered services. The clearest picture of the actual work comes from a run of five reviews written between 2018 and 2020. One describes an extensive bathroom leak that turned into a full renovation — carpentry, electrical, plumbing and tiling all handled by Chris — while another describes replacing and tiling a water-damaged bathroom floor and repairing a damaged ceiling. A third goes further afield: rebuilding rotted wood on front steps, a deck and posts, rebuilding a medicine cabinet, and handyman work like painting and light fixtures, with a note to make sure he's supervising if he delegates. Across the board, reviewers call the work clean, on-budget, and reliable, and one specifically credits him with handling the unexpected problems that come up in an old house. Worth knowing: every review on file dates from 2018-2020, so there's no recent account to point to — it's worth asking about current availability and recent work before booking. For an older-house repair or a bathroom job that needs several trades coordinated by one person, the reviewed track record is specific and consistent; just confirm current pricing and timeline directly, since nothing here is recent.
