— reviewers describe hiring the crew for several jobs
Decks and porches — rebuilds and pergolas draw the most detailed praise
Custom carpentry — shelving, attic stairs and handrails built to fit
Verified state registration — Massachusetts home improvement registration 192784 is active
Clean, on-schedule work — reviewers cite kept dates and tidy sites
One review network — all 27 ratings are the same Angi/HomeAdvisor pool
Plumbing on a review — main-water-line repair described; ask who is licensed
Young record — the written history only begins in 2024
Read through Collazo Home Improvements' reviews and the same first names keep turning up — Jonathan, Joe, David — and so do the same customers. One homeowner wrote in May 2025 that they had hired the company "a few times now"; another said the same month they are "never disappointed" after several jobs. Repeat business is the clearest thing in this record.
It is a Worcester-area home improvement contractor, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 192784, is active in the state registry under Jonathan Collazo. Its BBB page is an A+, accredited since May 2023. The work spans remodeling, decks and porches, roofing, painting, flooring, sheetrock and plastering, doors and windows, gutter cleaning and general handyman jobs.
Decks and porches draw the most specific praise. A September 2025 reviewer described a challenging deck the crew "got right on" until it looked brand new; an August 2025 customer had a back porch replaced along with several other projects and said the job stayed on budget; a May 2025 homeowner had a pergola installed onto an existing deck. The carpentry scales down too — custom shelving fitted into a tight bathroom space in March 2025, attic stairs in September 2024, and handrails a December 2024 reviewer said made the front steps feel safe to use again. A May 2025 job ran the other way, stripping an old ceiling and rebuilding it with insulation, plaster, molding and paint.
Two things to weigh before calling. The 27 ratings behind the 5.0 average are a single pool — Angi and HomeAdvisor publish the identical set, so this is one network's record rather than two independent ones, and it only begins in 2024. And a November 2024 reviewer describes an early-morning emergency repair to a main water line at a tenant-occupied property; that is plumbing work, while what is verified here is the home improvement contractor registration, so ask who holds the plumbing licence on a job like that.
For decks, porches, carpentry and mid-size interior work around Worcester, this is a small crew with a consistent, if young, written record and a lot of people who called them back. Get the registration number and the subcontracted trades named in the written estimate.

“Our front porch needed a new floor and the back deck needed new aluminum put arou”
Jonathan, Joe and the entire crew did a fantastic job replacing our back porch and several other projects throughout the house. Communication was excellent addressing all of our questions and providing great input. They efficiently completed all the jobs and remained on budget. Quality is outstanding and we are very happy with the results. Highly recommended.
Responded promptly. Started and finished removal of old ceiling. Installed the new ceiling with insulation, plaster, molding, and paint in a timely fashion. A well done job.
