Deck and porch builds — many reviewers describe new decks and porches
On-schedule finishes — deck jobs finished on or ahead of the promised day
What does a remodeling project cost in Greater Boston?
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Fontes Frame2Finish Construction. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Fontes Frame2Finish Construction is a Massachusetts carpentry and exterior outfit run by Nate (Nathan) Fontes, and most of the people who hired him called about decks and porches. The state registry lists an active Home Improvement Contractor licence, #156512, held by Nathan Fontes.
The most recent job described is from an August 2026 review: a homeowner who collected three quotes to replace 19 windows and trim picked Nate, and wrote that he was respectful of the budget and cleaned up and explained the next day's work before leaving each day. In a June 2026 review a customer said Nate turned an unfinished basement into the family's favorite hangout spot, with a quick turnaround and reasonable pricing, and another that month described new clapboard on the front, re-shingled sides and all trim replaced with maintenance-free composite.
Most of the written history dates from 2025, and much of it is outdoor carpentry. In a June 2025 review, a couple referred by a neighbor described a deck refurbish and extension where Nate laid out options with pros and cons, the crew started a couple of weeks later, worked a weekend to get ahead of a heat wave and finished on the day promised; Nate insisted on hiding the nails on the deck boards. A May 2025 reviewer called on a Sunday and had a new deck built by Thursday. Other 2025 accounts describe a four-season room, a garage, front and back porches, a side porch attached to a handicap ramp, and a deck connecting a house to an above-ground pool.
Pricing comes up often and favorably: a March 2025 reviewer said his pricing was the best of four companies, and another wrote the job price was well below expectations. Several customers say they have hired him for multiple projects. Google shows 5 stars from 33 ratings, and Angi and HomeAdvisor each show 5.0 from 24.

I can’t say enough good things about Nate Fontes and his company Fontes Frame2Finish. I received 3 quotes to replace 19 windows and trim in my home, but when we met with Nate to go over our project, he was so helpful in discussing the project and what our needs were and he was very respectful of our budget. Nate was very professional and clearly takes pride in this work. Before he left for the day, he cleaned up and discussed what we could expect for the next day of work. We will differently have him come back to do more projects.
Nate turned this unfinished basement into our favorite hangout spot! He is communicative, professional, and reasonably priced. It was a quick turnaround with excellent results! Can’t recommend him (and his awesome floor and plaster sub-contractors) enough! Thank you Nate!
Great outfit. I would definitely recommend using them for your home build, renovation, or repair needs if high quality and attention to detail are wanted. Replaced clapboard on front, and re-shingled sides of house, also replaced all trim with new maintenance-free composite. My home never looked better.
Had a great experience working with Nate replacing cedar shake on my upstairs dormer! He was professional and did an awesome job making my house look like new. Looking forward to work with him in the future.
