FS Soares Carpentry Inc

One homeowner hired FS Soares to build custom kitchen cabinets. Another had three decks and a set of stairs re-stained. This Milford, Massachusetts shop works both ends of the carpenter's trade, and the name that keeps turning up in its reviews is Ronildo Soares — Ronildo, Ronnie, or just Soares, depending on who is writing. Its Thumbtack profile says ten years in business and eight employees, with 117 project photos posted. Cabinetry draws the most detailed praise. Four December 2025 Angi reviews describe built-to-order cabinet work: one homeowner followed a kitchen set from the first design discussion through to installation, and another said the crew suggested improvements to the design and delivered on time and within budget. In a February 2026 review, a Thumbtack customer described ceiling crown molding installed with precision. Outside, it is decks and stairs. A December 2025 review describes a stain renewal on an ipe deck. In May 2026, a customer having three decks, stairs and some painting done said Ronildo stayed flexible on scheduling around the drying time the job needed and the rain in the forecast. A May 2025 homeowner had deck railing pulled off and replaced in one day; that same month, another had deck repairs and a few steps leading up to a landing done, and said the quote seemed fair. The small jobs are just as common. A March 2026 customer needed framing repair and a couple of closet doors on short notice, and credited the crew for thoroughness and for cleaning up. December 2025 brought a custom-size storm door; an April 2025 reviewer wrote only that a bothersome old door had been fixed; in September 2025 someone listed front-steps installation, concrete repair to a walkway, and a window frame repair. Several reviewers make the same two points — they came when they said they would, and they cleaned up. A July 2025 customer wrote that he showed up on time, worked into the evening to finish in one day, and cleaned up the yard. The one caution comes from that February 2026 crown molding job: the customer advised discussing the finishing in detail, because some accessories had been assumed to be done by default. Worth doing on any trim or cabinet work here. FS Soares is a sensible call for finish carpentry, custom cabinets and deck work around Milford, particularly exterior jobs that need a schedule to bend around the weather. Angi's listing says free estimates, warranties and Spanish-language service; before booking, get the finish scope itemized down to the accessories.
