CRJ Enterprise is a Danvers remodeler run by Carlos, and the customers who hired him for big jobs — a 26-foot front porch, a whole-house renovation, a finished basement — mostly praise the same thing: he answers the phone, explains the options, and coordinates the subs. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#185262) is active, and Angi shows 4.4 stars from nine ratings with 11 years of experience listed. The written history is small and mostly older. In a January 2021 review, a homeowner described a 26-foot front porch rebuilt with four posts, a new beam, decking, rails, ceiling and steps, and said it exceeded what they had asked for. A 2020 customer credited Carlos with spotting that the roof under their deck also needed replacing — something no other bidder had mentioned — and with encouraging questions along the way; another that year had a loft sectioned into a room, with a closet door relocated and a second bathroom door added. A 2019 reviewer had CRJ run an extensive renovation of a Somerville single-family, with several subcontractors coordinated and the inevitable kinks worked out. Customers in 2016 and 2017 called the pricing fair — second-cheapest of the bids in one case, without being far off — and mentioned a basement finished without cutting corners and a work area left clean. The most recent review is the one to read first. In November 2022 a customer gave half a star, saying the contractor was so unresponsive that they would never have hired him had they known, and wouldn't recommend him. It is the only complaint, but it is also the newest account by nearly two years. For a porch, addition, basement or a remodel that needs one person coordinating the trades, the people who hired Carlos between 2016 and 2021 got careful work and straight communication. Given the 2022 complaint, agree up front on how and how often you'll hear from him once the job starts.
If we had any idea of the contractor would be so no responsive we would have not hired him and we do not recommend them to anyone.
CRJ completed our very large front porch (26 ft) with 4 posts, a new beam, deck, rails, ceiling, and front steps. We were very lucky to find CRJ Enterprise, Danvers, MA They did a beautiful job completing everything we wanted. In fact, they exceeded our expectations. The quality of workmanship is top notch. Carlos and his crew are really a pleasure to work with. I would recommend them to anyone looking for the ideal contract team. I would describe Carlos and his team as honest, reliable, skilled, professional, courteous, and reasonably priced. William L. ( Medford MA )
We wanted to add a door to section off an area of our upstairs loft and turn it into a room. To do this we needed to move the location of the closet door in that area and also create another door to the adjacent bathroom to allow for two points of access to the bathroom. Carlos was the most professional of the contractors we brought in for an estimate. He was creative in what could be done, offering different options I hadn't considered, and was responsive initially in getting an estimate of the costs. The work took 4-5 weeks between taking things down and moving everything. During the job process, the only issue I had were that at times I was unable to reach Carlos or his workers to schedule the times when they would arrive as these weren't always consistent. It would help to have a clear schedule in advance to prepare ahead of time and coordinate everything as we also have to plan around our jobs and kids. Any minor quality issues I had with the work were addressed by Carlos in a timely manner and I'm happy with the quality of the work. Overall I'm very happy with the end result and would contract with Carlos again. There are some things that could be ironed out but the final product was great!
It couldn't have been better. I particularly appreciated Carlos's careful assessment of our project and his realization that the roof under our deck would need to be replaced as well (no one else told us that), his encouragement to us to ask questions and his responsiveness to the ones we posed, his punctuality and that of his crew, and the care that he took in explaining the pacing of the work, which was sometimes interrupted by bad weather.
CRJ completed an extensive renovation of my single family in Somerville and did a very thorough and well done job. Carlos is a great communicator and coordinated several subcontractors for the project. As expected with such a large endeavor, there were some kinks along the way, but Carlos handled them well, in a timely fashion, and ensured even the small details were taken care of. They aren't necessarily the fastest team around and could be a little more upfront about when there are additional costs outside the agreed upon contract, but there is real care in their work, their pricing is generally fair, and they are a pleasure to work with.
