A 2021 customer said Josh pointed out several structural reinforcement needs that no other contractor had raised while assessing their deck project. That 2021 customer said Josh and his co-contractor, Bob, used laser levels and worked for 7 ½ days, tidying up at the end of each day. In a 2020 review, a customer said Josh fixed unexpected water damage on their deck job and ran one day over his estimated time frame because of it. A 2019 customer said Josh extended their cape and removed and rebuilt the second floor, with new walls, a bathroom, a kitchen, siding and roofing; that 2019 customer was out of state during most of the construction and said Josh sent pictures and stayed in touch. A 2019 reviewer wrote that Josh built a new wall as a room divider and framed in a stone foundation wall. A 2020 customer said Josh and his crew replaced a storm door and basement window for the price agreed in advance. A 2025 Google customer said a staircase was built without measuring the railings correctly and needed modifications. A 2024 BuildZoom reviewer wrote "terrible carpenter" and "mistake after mistake." Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 203857, is expired on the state registry.

This guy built me a staircase without measuring the railings correctly. Ended up having to do do all these crazy modifications. In the end the staircase looks like a giant sled. How do you build the same things for 30 years and still cannot get it right. 😂😂😂
terrible carpenter. hypocrite. This guy makes mistake after mistake after mistake. lots of other qualified people to give your money to.
Josh did an excellent job. Always on time. Worked quickly. Communicated very well and answered all my questions. The quality of his work was outstanding. He made sure the materials were in good condition before accepting them. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and I will absolutely reach out to him for my next project.
Terrific experience. Josh is a good man with a strong work ethic. His construction skills are second to none. We could not be happier with the construction and look of our new trek decks. You get what you pay for, and Josh is worth every penny.
Perfect. We love the new deck.Martin
