J&E Construction Inc., doing business in Lynn as Build With Pride under owner Joel (also spelled Johel) Chavez, turns up here under a flooring search, but its actual track record is carpentry: doors, stairs, trim and decks. On Thumbtack, where the company has been active for six years, it holds Top Pro status with a 4.9-star average across 65 ratings and 82 completed hires — background-checked and well corroborated for a single platform. The five reviews on file, all from the past six months, describe exactly that kind of work: a full set of bedroom and closet doors reframed and rehung in a single day, new steps built to replace a temporary staircase with a hand railing added for a family member with arthritis, a stair-and-crawl-space surround project, and a straightforward interior door swapped in the day after the estimate. Every one is positive, and several single out quick turnarounds and cleanup as the reason they'd call again. Floor installation and replacement is listed among the company's services, but none of the reviews on file actually describe flooring work, so that line reads as a stated capability rather than a demonstrated one — worth asking about directly, with recent flooring photos, before hiring for that specific job. For carpentry — new doors, stair rebuilds, trim, small structural repairs — the recent record here is solid. For a flooring project specifically, that same case hasn't been made yet with what's available; a call to confirm recent flooring jobs would be the sensible next step.

J&E did an incredible job on a stair and crawl space surround project. Listened to my vision, suggested tweaks. Will hire again and recommend to friends. (General carpentry - stairs)

Johel and his team built new steps to replace temporary stairs at rear entry and replaced a bad door. Quick and efficient, weather-sealed door, added a round hand railing for a family member with arthritis, cleaned up well. Will have them back for future projects. (General carpentry - stairs)

Joel and his team were exceptional. Had all bedroom and closet doors removed, reframed and replaced, plus threshold replaced and stained. Super responsive, fair pricing, everything done in one day with good cleanup. Would highly recommend.

Joel was excellent. Came out to see the job, gave me a quote on the spot and picked up the supplies and did the installation the next day. Couldn't have asked for a smoother experience. (Interior door installation)

Johel and his team came out quickly for an estimate, showed up on time, great quality work. Removed kitchen/hallway trim, removed an old paneled wall and installed drywall. Highly recommend. (General carpentry)

- behind the score: Flooring unproven — listed as a service, but reviews show carpentry

Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from J&E Construction. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
A typical single-level deck is 12×16 — about 200 sq ft.
Estimated range

Typical carpentry project around $11,100
