Verified record
IPÊ Decking and Remodel is a one-person operation run directly by Helder T Assumpcao out of Everett, working finish carpentry, cabinet installs, decking and full remodels across Greater Boston, inside Route 495. The written record is thin but consistent: two Houzz reviews, both five stars, both from 2016. In one, a customer described Helder redesigning a bathroom down to the studs — a new floor, a custom tile shower shelf and back splash — calling the finished work professional, though the project ran a week or two past schedule. In the other, a customer picked him over six other installers to hang IKEA/Semihandmade cabinets for a kitchen redesign, crediting him with staying on time and budget while also handling an unplanned window removal, electrical and insulation issues, and the project's permitting. Both accounts are a decade old, so there's no way to say how the work has held up more recently — worth asking about before booking, along with a firm timeline given the bathroom job's slippage. For a homeowner planning a full-room remodel or cabinet install who wants one person handling design, permitting and finish carpentry directly, the two jobs on record both came back with five stars — just confirm current availability and scheduling first.

IPÊ Decking and Remodel owner did a phenomenal job on my purple bathroom (see my idea book for photos). He came up with the complete design of the bathroom - from the inset shower shelf, the purple glass tile strip to the back splash. The total job include a new floor and painting- basically down to the studs. He also did my kitchen 5 years ago - (photos upcoming). To be fair, the project took a week or two longer than expected. However, it was done professionally and at a reasonable price.
Excellent all around! We looked at 7 different cabinet options for our kitchen redesign -- many that came with their own installers. After we settled on IKEA/Semihandmade Doors, we interviewed 7 different installers with IKEA experience. There were 2 who stood out to us after the interviewers, one being Helder. We went with Helder, as the other had the higher price by almost two-fold of the other 6, and Helder's estimate was in the middle of the pack. We love the choice we made. Helder was professional, organized, neat, and respectful. He came in on time and budget. He not only installed our cabinets, but removed a large window, dealt with some electrical and insulation issues that were unknown to us before starting the project, and oversaw the permitting of the project. He did an excellent job all around. I highly recommend him.
