## The honest read

LC Carpentry Masonry is a woman-owned Somerville general contractor — Cristiane Bressan and Hayce Freitas run a crew that shows up across an unusually wide range of jobs: full-scale additions and gut renovations, deck rebuilds, kitchen and bathroom work, exterior overhauls, and smaller fixes like a garage door repair or a sign installation. With 39 reviews on record going back to 2022 and an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license, this is a business with real depth of history behind the current 4.9-star Google average.

The bigger jobs are where the record is most convincing. A 2023 review describes a complete gut renovation of an entire upper floor in an 1886 home, finished on time and on budget. Another 2023 review covers a major exterior job — stucco and woodwork repaired and painted, a garage door and fence sanded and painted, a gate and entry door replaced, even the windows washed — with the reviewer calling it the best contractor they'd worked with. More recently, reviewers describe a full triple-decker deck teardown and rebuild in Somerville and a stair-railing, bathtub, and tile replacement.

A recurring theme across almost all of it: reviewers single out Cristiane and Hayce by name for communicating clearly, sticking to quoted prices, and not pressuring customers into extra work. Several mention getting quotes that held, and more than one reviewer had already recommended the company to friends before writing their own review.

The one real blemish is a late-2025 review from someone who called multiple times and never got a response — a fair complaint about a missed lead, though it's an outlier against a long, otherwise consistent track record with no similar complaints about completed work.

The range here is broad enough that it's worth being specific about the scope of your project when you call — the strongest evidence is for additions, decks, exterior renovation, and general carpentry.

**Strengths:**
- Full gut renovations — 1886-home upper floor finished on time and on budget
- Major exterior overhauls — stucco, siding, doors, and fencing in one job
- Deck teardown-and-rebuilds — full triple-decker rebuild, quote held

**Concerns:**
- Unanswered calls reported — one 2025 caller never got a response
