Daniel J. O'Leary III

Daniel J. O'Leary III Carpentry works out of Wakefield, and the reviews that keep coming back describe the same short list of jobs: a rebuilt front porch, a matched set of exterior doors, a rotted sill plate swapped out before it spread further. The company says it's been serving wood-frame homes in the area since 2002, and the Angi record backs that up with a lot of repeat business — more than one customer called Dan back for a second job, including someone who first hired him for deck stairs and returned later for a full front-porch rebuild. What stands out across the 24 written Angi reviews on file, running 2015 through 2025, isn't one specialty so much as a habit: several reviewers describe him showing up within a day of the first call and treating structural repairs — a rotted rim joist, a sagging sill plate — with the same care as the visible carpentry. In a 2015 review about a water-damage cleanup, a customer noted he hand-cut the torn-out drywall to keep the dust down rather than reaching for a saw. A repeat customer in 2020 had him install two exterior doors and a storm door and called the finished carpentry work dependable and professional. Both Angi and HomeAdvisor put him at 4.9 stars from 53 ratings, and the Better Business Bureau lists the business as A+ and accredited. One thing worth asking about before booking: even the newest reviews on file are over a year old. Just three have been added since 2024 — a 2024 entry, then two in 2025 that mention window work and kitchen touch-ups alongside fixed railings, both citing a fair price — while the bulk of the detailed record runs 2015 through 2020. That's not a mark against the more recent work, just less written detail to point to, so it's worth checking his current schedule and workload directly. For a straightforward carpentry or exterior job — doors, decks, porches, gutter and trim repairs, or a structural repair that needs a careful hand — a decade of consistent, repeat-customer reviews is a strong reason to include him. Confirm timing and scope before signing, since steady repeat business at a small operation like this usually means a longer lead time.
