C P Construction and Carpentry

Decks are the thread running through nearly everything customers have written about C P Construction and Carpentry: a deck rebuilt, a sagging deck leveled in a single day after a snow load, new deck stairs that drew compliments from the neighbors. Its BBB profile lists residential and commercial general contracting, framing, finish carpentry, decks, porches, additions and home improvements. The name that recurs review after review is the owner's — Clod, or Clodomiro Pereira. The written history runs deep but stops early: 26 reviews across four sites, spanning 2015 to November 2023, with Angi and HomeAdvisor each publishing 4.8 stars across 35 ratings. In a 2020 review a homeowner described a complete tear-down and rebuild of two bathrooms plus new kitchen tile; a 2019 customer walked through a basement remodel taken from permits to the city signing off on the job; another 2019 account credited him with vaulting the ceiling of an 8x11 mudroom addition so the space felt larger. Reachability comes up repeatedly — a 2015 customer had his personal cell, and a 2019 reviewer said he answered by call or text. Two accounts cut the other way, both from 2016 and both specific. The 1-star review describes a second-story addition that started fast and then stalled: the room was framed inside a week, the owner then left for a four-week trip, work halted, and the trim and a pocket door came back out of plumb. A May 2016 review rated 2.5 describes a multi-room renovation that ran 13 weeks, with one wall and the floor molding left visibly out of level and costs added for items the homeowner had assumed were in the contract. BuildZoom's page carries that lone 2016 complaint and nothing else, which is why its average reads 1.0 against Angi's and HomeAdvisor's 4.8. What to ask about follows straight from those two: pin the schedule and who runs the crew day to day, and get the finish scope — level walls, trim, doors — written into the contract rather than agreed verbally. Both complaints are now a decade old, and every account after 2016 is positive, but they remain the only detailed descriptions of a job going sideways. For a deck, a porch, or framing and finish carpentry with a clearly bounded scope, the accounts from 2016 through 2023 are consistent and concrete. For a full addition or a gut renovation, raise those older complaints directly before signing. And confirm current registration and insurance yourself — the newest customer account here dates from November 2023, so there is nothing recent to lean on.
