Cranland Carpentry is Ricky Schneider's carpentry and remodeling crew, and the thing that shows up in review after review isn't the doors or the built-ins — it's the daily updates. Recent customers describe getting a running log of what happened that day, often before they've thought to ask. The work itself spans the full range of finish carpentry. This spring, one homeowner had a small garage door converted into a regular entryway with the paint matched so well it looks like it was always there; another had an oversized mantel lowered and a fireplace TV wall with built-ins added after Ricky turned an AI-generated design concept into an actual build plan. Bigger jobs turn up too: a complete reconstruction of an 1886 farmhouse kitchen that raised the floor joists to level the room and the ceiling to nine feet, a full living-room remodel with new flooring, a staircase and custom built-ins pushed through an old house's surprises and repeated snowstorms, and a from-scratch fireplace build with a 12-foot mantel, columns and a hearth. The same pattern holds over time — in a 2024 review, one customer's quote held firm even after the crew found rotted sill wood mid-job, and in a 2023 review another described trying eight different contractors who never called back before Ricky returned the inquiry within minutes. Across 65 Google reviews dating back to 2021, every one on file is five stars, and the last six months alone brought eight more, all positive. The company also carries an A- grade with the Better Business Bureau. Worth knowing before calling: this is a small, owner-led crew — reviewers name the same three or four people (Mike, Kevin, Nate) working alongside Ricky on jobs ranging from a single door to a full kitchen teardown — so the person on the phone is usually the person swinging the hammer. Cranland reads like the right call for a homeowner who wants the owner personally running a finish-carpentry or remodeling job and reporting back at each step. Given how often the same names turn up as repeat customers, it's worth confirming scheduling directly for anything beyond a small job.
Ricky and his team changed our small garage door into a regular entryway and matched the paint up to look like it has always been there. They did great work and were all very friendly. The communication for the project was great as well. Highly recommend!
Hands down the BEST experience working with Cranland! Our mantel was extremely high and we wanted it lowered plus the tv above the fireplace and build ins on each side. I had taken a picture of my living room and leveraged AI to create what I was looking to have done. Ricky was able to take it and then write up a very detailed plan with specs to make it a reality. Communication was the best I’ve experienced. I always knew what was being worked on ahead of the onsite project, when people were showing up, the days in which items would be done. Nate, Kev, and Mike were amazing as well taking into every detail and customizing to my vision. The attention to detail they all have is truly like no other. DJ the electrician and his team were also great in making sure they took into account what I had wanted for the tv and sound bar install and made sure alignment was true. Overall, if you want a job done right, you want great communication, attention to detail, and overall just great people to work with, look no further!
We had a very positive experience with Ricky and the carpentry work that was done. The work was completed professionally, with good attention to detail, and everything turned out great. Communication was easy throughout the project, and the area was kept neat and organized. We’re very happy with the final result and would definitely recommend Cranland Carpentry. Thanks Ricky!!
We recently moved from our Connecticut home of 39 years to MA to be close to our children and grandchildren. We downsize our home to one level from a five bedroom colonial in Connecticut, so we knew we wanted to finish off our basement @ 1,000 sq ft. for a play area for our six grandchildren. Unlike Connecticut, where we had a personal finish Carpenter that would do all our work. We had to search out to find someone that we felt comfortable with and did outstanding work Our son had finished off a mudroom at his house in the South-Shore area and the team from Cranland Carpentry, Inc. did the work. Ricky and his team quality workmanship was outstanding, and they built a custom seat with shelves underneath. I wasn’t sure if they would finish off a basement in Plymouth, but I asked them if they would be interested, and if so provide a quote. The quote was very competitive with the three other companies that I asked to quote. I hired Cranland Carpentry Inc. to handle the finish carpentry for my basement remodel. They helped with all the design work and did all the building permits. They made my life a lot easier, and the results are honestly transformative. Bringing a vision for a basement to life requires a specific eye for detail, and the craftsmanship delivered here was top-tier. The trim work, doors, closet and molding are outstanding. We had a few awkward structural columns and they designed custom casings and built-in shelves in another area. • Professionalism: Beyond the woodworking skills, the job site was kept remarkably clean. For a project of this scale, I appreciated the clear communication regarding timelines and material choices. Cranland Carpentry team were always the same guys, very professional, courteous and a pleasant to have in our home. This is something very hard to measure, but I think it’s very important to most people. You want people in your home that you can trust. If you are looking for a carpenter who treats finish work like an art form rather than just a checklist, I cannot recommend Cranland Carpentry highly enough. Our basement finally feels like a cohesive, high-end part of our home. Thanks and good luck with your project. Ed & Sue G
I needed a new storm door install at my house and was unable to find a carpenter to do the job. A neighbor suggested I call Ricky Schneider as she was pleased with his workmanship. I sent him a text and not only did he say he would be glad to help, but it was all completed within a week. Ricky was kind, helpful, prompt and professional in making this happen. I highly recommend Ricky Schneider and Cranland Carpentry for a job big or small. I will definitely hire him again for future carpentry jobs.
