Daniel J. O'Leary III Carpentry is a Wakefield-based residential contractor whose own site says he has serviced wood-frame homes in the area since 2002. The listed work centers on carpentry and light construction, with kitchen and bathroom renovations, decks, doors, framing, stairs and railings, gutters, siding, and other exterior improvements. The customer history is unusually consistent and detailed for a small contractor. HomeAdvisor and Angi each show 4.9 stars from 53 ratings. In an April 2025 review, a homeowner described kitchen window work and railing repairs as very well done at a fair price. Earlier accounts describe exterior doors, stairs, decks, porches, gutters, framing, and siding; reviewers repeatedly mention professional work, reliability, cleanup, and clear communication. The written record is dated: many of the specific accounts are from 2015–2020, with newer 2024 and 2025 reviews remaining positive. One 2019 homeowner said O'Leary responded quickly and completed work that cost less than expected, while a 2018 reviewer said he returned a call promptly and scheduled a repair within a day. The profile states free estimates are available, but emergency service is not offered. He appears best suited to homeowners seeking hands-on carpentry, doors, decks, trim, and remodeling work who value a small operator with a long local track record. Confirm the exact scope, timeline, estimate, and whether the requested work falls within his current service availability.
Dan installed windows and draws in the kitchen. He also noticed and fixed railings etc. Everything was very well done with a fair price Sherry
Great job.
Good job
Good job.
We hired Dan for the second time and we're very pleased once again. He installed two exterior doors and a storm door. He's hard working, professional, dependable and did a great job with the installs and finished carpentry work. We would highly recommend him and would definitely hire him again.
