Cedar Castro

Ask what this crew leaves behind and the answer keeps coming back the same: a clean floor. A homeowner writing in March 2026 described them laying paper over the floors and plastic to contain the dust while installing fold-down attic stairs, on time and neatly done. A 2024 customer said the team turned up on time every day, worked quietly, and cleaned up before leaving each evening. The company trades under two names - its directory listings read Cedar Castro, while its own About text and its customers call it Cedar Construction, working out of 284 Chestnut Street in Chelsea. The work is exterior-led: roofing including slate, siding, stucco and structural carpentry, with a kitchen renovation and deck power-washing and painting turning up in 2024 reviews. Customers deal with someone named Dennis, who a 2024 deck customer said came back with a quote inside 24 hours. The scoreboard is 4.9 across sixteen reviews, and it is still moving - five of them landed in the last six months, none negative. What it is not is corroborated. Angi and HomeAdvisor are the same listing published twice, and no other directory carries the business, so sixteen reviews really amounts to one platform's word. Most are a single line - "Good job", "excellent work, very professional" - which is thin material to decide on. Two things to raise on the call. Angi lists a Massachusetts trade licence number for them, 210322, expiring 01/30/2028, but that is the directory's own record rather than anything checked against the state registry, so take the number and look it up yourself. And the same page states six years of experience while its About blurb claims over twelve, so ask plainly how long they have been doing the specific work you need. For roofing, siding and structural carpentry around Chelsea they are a reasonable call, with a live and recent history behind them. Get the scope in writing, and ask to see a roof they finished this year.
