Golden Lion Custom Carpentry is a small Swampscott outfit run by Pablo Deleon, with three people on the books and a finish- and custom-carpentry focus that runs from trim and molding through door repair and into full room remodels. On Thumbtack the company holds 5.0 stars across 15 ratings, every one of them a five, and it has been hired 15 times there. The written reviews add the texture. In an October 2024 review a homeowner who had been avoiding hiring anyone after a bad renovation described the crew re-hanging badly hinged interior doors, being clear up front about what the fix required, and cleaning up well enough that she brought them back for more work. In July 2024 another customer had baseboards pulled ahead of painting and floor work and wrote that Pablo started on a Monday and finished the job a week later, calling him informative and punctual. A June 2024 review covered a finished bathroom, again singling out the tidy clean-up and the running progress updates, and an October 2024 customer described a problem resolved without hesitation. Pablo Deleon passed Thumbtack's background check in May 2024, and the profile carries 80 project photos. Two things are worth pinning down before booking. Thumbtack's overview says four years in business while its own auto-written summary of the same profile says three, so ask directly how long the company has been trading. And every published review dates from 2024 and sits on that one platform, so ask for a couple of recent local references before you commit to a larger job. For trim, door and small-bathroom work in the Swampscott area this is a straightforward, well-reviewed choice; confirm the tenure and get a current reference, then judge the quote on its own terms.

The Golden Lion crew was very professional, punctual, and they did high-quality work - something that I was very worried (about as a person who had never previously used Thumbtack). We did a renovation in our home a few years ago, and the doors in our unit weren’t properly hinged; the fix, though, seemingly minor, would require a detailed fix, and I was truly avoiding hiring someone out of fear that they would worsen the problem. Golden Lion was clear about the work that was required, the crew was exceptionally kind and professional, and they did an excellent job cleaning up after themselves. I’d been scarred by the previous crew that did our initial renovation, but after I saw Golden Lion’s work, my partner and I asked them to return to complete additional work. Thank you, Golden Lion!!! Will hire again!
wonderful to work with Pablo. was extremely prompt and resolved out issue without hesitation. would certainly reach out again for any related need.
This company did very good job and on time. The way customer service was provided was nice. They have good knowledge of what they are doing. I really recommend this company for carpentry and paint work.
Needed our baseboards removed so we could paint before getting our floors done. Pablo was able to get in on a Monday and bang out the project a week later. Very informative, puntual, and lots of attention to detail. Will be working with him again!
I had an excellent experience with this company. They did wonderful work, they finished my bathroom and it looks perfect! They cleaned up after themselves and were very professional making sure my space looked exactly how I had imagined it and more. I’m going to hire this company again to work on my laundry room. I also appreciated the fact that he was honest, on time kept me updated on the progress and very knowledgeable. I recommend this contractor 100%
