LC Carpentry Masonry Inc

Old houses are the daily work here. In a July 2023 review, a homeowner called the entire upper floor of their 1886 house "practically a gut job," and said it finished on time and on budget; a May 2026 customer hired the crew for the carpentry and flooring of a 1935 tudor and called the finished floor beautifully uniform. LC Carpentry Masonry is a Somerville general contractor that describes itself as woman-owned, with Cristiane Bressan as owner and Hayce Freitas as CEO, and claims eight-plus years in the trade. Its Google page runs 4.9 across 38 ratings, and the jobs behind it are broad rather than narrow: carpentry and floors, decks, bathrooms and kitchens, windows, exterior woodwork and paint. An October 2025 review describes hiring Hayce and her team in the spring of 2025 for a 900-square-foot apartment — kitchen and bath redesigned, popcorn removed from the ceiling, wood floors redone — all inside the timeframe and budget. Four customers use that same on-time, on-budget language, including a March 2025 review of an office bathroom and the 1886 renovation. Money comes up in a good way too. A February 2024 customer described open supplies costs on a deck job, and an August 2022 customer wrote that the quote was exactly what she paid, with the work done in a single day. Four reviewers describe their project as a joint one with HKF Construction: a two-story back deck rebuilt, a partial wall demolished to split a bedroom in two, a stair railing, bathtub and tile job, and work on an older South Boston home. Worth asking how that partnership is set up on a job like yours. The one sour note is the phone. In November 2025, someone wrote that they called multiple times and nobody ever responded, and called that unprofessional. Other customers say the opposite — a January 2024 review calls the team "always responsive and transparent" — so if a first call goes unanswered, a second is worth making. For an older house needing carpentry-led work — floors, a deck, a bathroom, or a whole floor taken apart and put back — this is the job these customers describe most often. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. Get the scope and the supplies costs down in writing; that is exactly what the customers happiest about price describe.
