Fonsecas Carpenter, also known as Fonseca's Carpentry, is a family-owned, owner-operated carpentry and home-improvement business based in East Falmouth, MA, run by Adriano Fonseca and self-reporting about a decade in business serving Cape Cod towns including Falmouth, Woods Hole, Mashpee, Sandwich, Bourne, Barnstable, Hyannis, and Dennis.
Homeowners who hired the company describe Adriano and his crew doing hands-on carpentry across a wide range of projects: tearing down and rebuilding a deck with a maintenance-free fiberglass replacement plus new storm doors, window screens, and closets; converting a storage space into a guest room; restoring a home after water-filtration damage, including roofing, cedar shingles, and interior flooring; renovating an attic and updating a bathroom and kitchen; replacing kitchen cabinet doors and hardware; and building out a laundry room with custom cabinetry. One reviewer who used the company for both interior and exterior work -- replacement windows, interior doors and trim, a sunroom, decking, and an outdoor shower -- called the pricing reasonable.
All 13 of the company's Google reviews are five stars, and the accounts read as specific, first-hand descriptions rather than generic praise -- reviewers name Adriano directly, describe the actual scope of work, and several say they have hired the company more than once. The state's own contractor license registry confirms an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license, #214962, held under Fonsecas Carpenter Inc -- the business's own name, not a mismatched holder. BuildZoom independently corroborates the same active license and lists one building permit from 2025 (a porch/deck job) in the $5,000-$20,000 range, though it shows no customer reviews of its own.
There is no documented negative review or complaint on file to weigh against that record, so the main thing to confirm directly is scope and scheduling for a specific project -- the reviews cover everything from small repairs to multi-room work, and the permit/project volume on file is modest, consistent with a small, owner-operated crew.
For homeowners on the Cape looking for finish carpentry, decks, built-ins, or a room-by-room remodel handled by the same crew from job to job, the reviewed track record and a clean, verified license make this a well-supported pick -- worth a direct conversation about timeline given the size of the operation.
