J&E Construction Inc., doing business as Build With Pride, is a carpentry company based in Lynn, Massachusetts, run by Joel Chavez. The company says it has been in business for six years and focuses on doors, stairs, trim, and finish carpentry work for homeowners in the area. Customers who hired J&E consistently praise the precision of the work. One homeowner described 15 interior doors installed cleanly, with every door hung plumb and level even where openings needed adjusting to fit standard sizes. Another had bedroom and closet doors removed, reframed, and replaced, along with a new stained threshold, and noted the crew cleaned up so thoroughly there was no sign work had been done. A third project involved building out a stair and crawl space surround, with the crew listening closely to the homeowner's vision and suggesting refinements along the way. Reviewers also point to fast, responsive scheduling: several describe getting a quote the same day they reached out, with the job completed within a day or two of first contact. On Thumbtack, where this history is recorded, J&E holds a 4.9-star rating across 65 ratings, with 94% five-star, and shows 277 completed projects on the platform. The five reviews on file are uniformly positive, and the reviewed jobs are all door, trim, and finish carpentry rather than larger structural projects. Homeowners with a bigger renovation in mind should confirm scope and materials directly. For doors, closets, thresholds, and similar finish carpentry, J&E's reviewed history points to careful, responsive, on-time work.

Joel and his team installed 15 interior doors in my home last year and the work was top-notch. They showed up on time, communicated clearly, and finished the job efficiently. Every door is plumb, level, and operates smoothly β even on a few openings that needed adjustment to fit standard pre-hung sizes. Joel is professional, easy to work with, and clearly takes pride in his craftsmanship. I'm hiring him again for my next project. Highly recommend J&E Construction.
J&E did an incredible job on a stair and crawl space surround project for me. They listened to exactly what my vision was and helped suggest some tweaks. I enjoyed working with them, will hire them again and be recommending them to friends.
Joel and his team were exceptional to work with! I had all my bedroom and closet doors removed, reframed and replaced. He also had to replaced and stain the threshold. Joel was super responsive when I first reached out, came by quickly to assess the job, get me a quote, and worked with my busy schedule to get the job scheduled. Everything was done in one day. Cleanup with done at the end of day so we don't even know we had work done. He provided flexible payment options and the pricing was fair. 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.
They responded to my request for quote on same day. They arrived when they said they would and completed the work on time. I hired them to install a door in a 30β opening that was 36β wide. They narrowed the opening to 30β and hung the door. They also installed a closet door for me.
