Verified record
E.M.C Company is an Allston, MA carpentry outfit that reviewers hire for the structural jobs — replacing headers and a beam mid-renovation, rebuilding a staircase and banister, wrestling flooring around an awkward pole. The company's own Angi profile puts it at over 14 years in the trade, working across carpentry, general construction and painting. The written record is small but consistent: all 7 Angi ratings on file are five stars, and the detail behind them is specific rather than vague. One customer got a fair price quote and had the crew on site within 36 hours; another, in a 2019 review, described being undercharged because a few extra jobs were thrown in for free. A third, also in 2019, singled out the attention to detail on finish carpentry work. Worth knowing before calling: every review on file dates to 2018 or 2019 — there's nothing more recent to confirm current pricing, availability or crew size. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration, #193867, for the company, shown active as of its last check in August 2025, but that's BuildZoom's own listing rather than an independent verification, so it's worth confirming directly with the state. For someone weighing a carpentry-heavy job — framing, stairs, flooring — the reviews on file point to careful, fairly priced work. Just ask when they last took on a project this size before booking.

Excellent! EMC was great to work with. He was responsive through messaging and gave a fair price assessment. He was able to squeeze me in less than 36 hours! He worked quickly and efficiently. He even helped me finish some tough areas of the floor where I needed help cutting around a pole and installing the last row, without charging extra. Would definitely work with him again!
EMC was great to work with. They were efficient and I was happy with the work that was done in my home. We had to replace multiple headers and a beam during a first floor renovation and I was amazed at how quickly the work was done. Our stairs and banister also needed to be replaced. I showed them a picture of what I wanted the banister to look like and I can't be happier with the outcome, it's perfect. EMC was hard working and easy to work with. Now that we've done quite a bit of work in our home, it is really invaluable working with a company that responds quickly and competes quality work on time.
Edson was very professional during the whole process. His attention to detail is great and his carpentry skills are amazing. I am very happy with the job he did!
Edson was very honest in getting us a detailed quote, saved us expense where it was not needed. He is also very knowledgeable besides having a good people work for him. I’m very happy for the quality of work he did for us and there were a few jobs he did for free for us which others may have surely charged us. It’s hard to find GOOD and HONEST contractors. I’d certainly recommend EMC to anyone looking for general contracting and carpentry work.
Very knowledgable and hard working. I would highly recommend them!
