Martinez Framing is a Fitchburg carpentry shop whose customers mostly call about one thing: decks. Five of the seven written reviews describe one — a new 30-by-8-foot build, a back-deck renovation, resurfaced boards with new railing and stairs, and a water-damage repair where part of the deck had to come off and go back on. The company describes itself as a wood-framing and home-improvement outfit covering Leominster, Fitchburg, Worcester and Gardner, with additions, porches, doors, windows and flooring on the menu; Angi lists it with six years of experience and Spanish-language service. Miguel Martinez is the name in every review, and the same two things follow him around: responsive, and on time. This spring a homeowner replacing a deck surface, railing and stairs wrote that Miguel and his partner kept working through the quirks of the old structure until the result was right; in July another customer had him do a deck, siding and an aluminum pergola and said the craftsmanship was noticeable even to casual observers. The 2025 reviews run the same way — a July 2025 customer changed the design of a 30x8 deck several times and said he came up with a solution each time, an August 2025 customer got a back-deck renovation delivered on a tight deadline, and a December 2025 Angi reviewer had interior wall studs added a day earlier than scheduled, with Miguel asking clarifying questions and offering a mid-job walkthrough. On Thumbtack the company is a Top Pro at 4.9 across 42 ratings, with 32 hires and 29 posted projects; Angi shows two reviews, both five stars. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (219515) is active in the state registry under the company’s own name, and Thumbtack shows a background check completed in November 2022. The listed service menu runs wider than the reviewed work: fence and gate installation, flooring, basement finishing, cabinetry, custom closets and handyman jobs all appear on the directory listings, while the write-ups so far are decks, framing, siding, and one doors-and-windows replacement from November 2025. If you’re calling for one of those other trades, ask to see a comparable job. Right call for a deck build or repair, structural framing, or exterior carpentry around Fitchburg and Worcester. Confirm the estimate is free (Angi says so), and pin down the timeline up front — two customers have credited him with beating one.
Miguel did Deck, Siding and aluminum pergola installation. Miguel was very professional, responsive and accountable with all his dealings. The craftsmanship of work is noticeable to even casual observers. All the subcontractors and city officials who visited during building and inspection has acknowledged superior quality of craftsmanship and attention to details. I’ll work with Miguel on future construction projects.
The horizontal surfaces of my deck, railing and stairway to the yard needed to be replaced. Miguel and his partner were focused on assuring that I was happy with the results, dealing with the inevitable quirks of working with the existing structure. They completed the project in just a few days, at a reasonable cost.
Miguel Martinez was able to schedule our job of adding studs to an interior wall, a day earlier than planned which was great. He arrived on time, was courteous and asked questions to clarify the work that was to be done. He offered me the opportunity to review the job in process several times to make sure it was being done to our satisfaction. Cleaned up before leaving. Would hire him again.
I hired Miguel to replace my older doors and windows with brand new ones. He did a wonderful job within a reasonable timeframe!
Miguel and his team renovated our back deck and we were so happy with his work! He was on time, communicated the job details and worked with us to give us a fantastic outcome. I want to note that the week he did the job we were on a tight deadline which he was able to deliver on, in the middle of a heat wave no less. There was some structural issues with our deck which he addressed and completed along with the trex installment. We are so happy with his work and the experience we will hire him again for future projects. We are lucky to have found him!
