# E.M.C COMPANY **Trade:** Carpentry · **Phone:** (857) 258-1659 · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.1/5** (low confidence) — from 5 reviews across 2 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read 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. **Strengths:** - Fair, honest pricing — reviewers cite free extra work and no upcharges - Structural carpentry — praised for header, beam, stair and railing work - Perfect review record — all 7 Angi ratings are 5 stars **Concerns:** - Dated review history — all ratings run 2018–2019, none more recent ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - The company's Angi profile states over 14 years of experience in carpentry, construction and painting. _(confidence: medium)_ - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/allston/emc-company-reviews-9488724.htm) — “Angi profile for E.M.C Company at 12 Barrows St, Allston, MA shows a perfect 5.0 rating across 7 reviews, all praising responsive, skilled c…” - A 2019 review describes a fair, detailed price quote and extra work done at no charge. _(confidence: medium)_ - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/allston/emc-company-reviews-9488724.htm) — “5★ Edson was very honest in getting us a detailed quote, saved us expense where it was not needed.
