Carpenter General Construction Managers, LLC

The job that comes up most often in what customers write about Carpenter General Construction Managers is a curb-less shower. In an October 2020 account, a homeowner whose husband has MS had a bathroom rebuilt without a curb so he could get in and out unaided. A February 2020 customer, unhappy about a good deal else, still called the curb-less showers in his two bathrooms stunning. Allen Carpenter runs the company from Taunton, and its BBB file has been open since November 2018 with an A+ grade. Tile and finish carpentry run through the rest. Customers writing in 2020 described a kitchen and mudroom renovation where Allen met them at the kitchen design showroom more than once, a small kitchen where he helped pick tile suited to the space, a double glass French door fitted into an opening with no existing walls, and an old deck demolished and rebuilt to code after he explained what was wrong with it. In March 2022 a homeowner took down a load-bearing wall for a whole kitchen renovation financed through an FHA 203K loan and said the company was patient with the paperwork and the timeline it required. The two most recent accounts, both from August 2025, describe a roof built over a deck. The complaints are specific and worth reading first. In February 2020 a customer who had two bathrooms remodelled said work he was told would take three to four weeks ran five months, that other customers repeatedly took precedence over his job, that the plumber and electrician were part-timers who came only evenings and weekends, and that thin plastic sheeting laid instead of the canvas he asked for left his stair carpet badly marked. He called the finished result acceptable but not outstanding. In September 2020 another customer rated a tiling job two stars, describing uneven work and globs of mortar left around the perimeter, and said tools were washed in a newly installed kitchen sink. There is also a business-name dispute to raise. A reviewer named Steven J. on the company's BBB page alleges it is trading under a name he registered with the Massachusetts Secretary of State in 2007. Ask directly which registered entity your contract is with. BuildZoom separately lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 194224, for the company — that is the directory's listing, so ask to see the registration itself. Most of the written history comes from 2019 and 2020, with a handful since. For bathroom and kitchen remodels, and especially tile and curb-less shower work, the praise is detailed and consistent. Pin down the schedule, the floor protection and the entity name in writing before work starts.
