Chiamarelli Construction

Stairs and railings are the thread running through nearly everything customers say about Chiamarelli Construction. A March 2026 customer had a loose stair rail secured, patched and painted in a single day. A homeowner writing in November 2025 described a rotted section of their front outdoor staircase repaired the same day, the railing looking new afterward. The Woburn shop trades under two names — Chiamarelli Carpentry on its BBB page, Chiamarelli Construction Company on its own site — and lists 371 Main St, Unit 8. The BBB records it as a sole proprietorship started in June 2022 with one employee and Richard Chiamarelli as manager. Its own site advertises custom built-ins and furniture, deck design and installation, and window and door installation. Its public numbers sit almost entirely on one platform. Thumbtack shows 4.9 across 90 ratings, 98 percent of them five-star, 109 hires, 500 projects posted, and Top Pro status three years running from 2023 through 2025. The BBB grades the business A+, though it is not accredited, and shows no complaints or government actions. What the people who hired them keep coming back to is speed and finish. Two crews finished stair flooring faster than expected in January 2026, with clean lines and solid workmanship noted. A December 2025 customer on a railing renovation called the pricing fair and the communication honest. A March 2026 floating-shelf install drew the same note: punctual, accommodating. Two things are worth pinning down before you call. Tenure is reported two different ways — Thumbtack lists 12 years in business, while the BBB puts the start date at 6/28/2022 — so ask directly how long they have worked under this name. And the name on Thumbtack's completed background check is Hamlet Chiamarelli, while the BBB lists Richard Chiamarelli as manager, so it is worth confirming who will actually run your job; reviewers name Richard and a colleague, Eddie. They are a sensible call for finish carpentry with a defined edge: stairs, railings, built-ins, trim, doors, and decks. The written history is short and concentrated on one platform, so ask for references on a job like yours and get scope and price in writing before work starts.
