Custom cabinetry — repeat praise for cabinets built and repaired
Trim and finish carpentry — cited for railings, baseboards, and trim
Structural repair — replaced 40 feet of rotted sill and floor
Prompt written quotes — reviewers note fast, itemized estimates
What does carpentry work cost in Greater Boston?
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from MHR. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
A typical single-level deck is 12×16 — about 200 sq ft.
Consistent five-star record — eight of nine Google reviews rate five stars
MHR is Roger Beaudet's one-person carpentry and home-repair business, working Central and Eastern Massachusetts out of a family operation the company says has run since 1985. Homeowners hire Roger himself for the kind of work a lot of handyman outfits pass on — a rotted sill, a rebuilt stair, custom cabinetry — and his name shows up in nearly every review as the one who came out and did the work.
Nine Google reviews spanning 2022 through late 2025 run almost entirely five stars, and they read as specific job accounts rather than general praise. One 2025 review describes forty feet of rotted garage sill replaced along with half the floor and a door; another from the same year describes cabinets built and repaired alongside a mix of smaller handyman jobs. Earlier reviews mention a replaced tile shower floor, new stair railings, baseboard heater covers, and trim and painting work. A recurring thread across several reviews is the paperwork side — a written, itemized quote delivered within a few days of the estimate, and arrival on the day promised.
Both of the company's licenses check out against the state registry: a construction supervisor license (CS-082287) and a home improvement contractor registration (HIC 134098) are both active under Roger Beaudet's name, matching what the company lists on its own site.
There isn't much to flag. The review record is modest in count — nine reviews across a few sources rather than hundreds — and it's a one-person operation, so scheduling runs on Roger's own availability rather than a crew that can flex around a homeowner's timeline.
MHR is a fitting call for hands-on carpentry and repair — cabinetry, trim, decks, rot and structural fixes, a tile floor — from a homeowner who wants the person doing the estimate to be the person doing the work. Confirm current lead times before booking, since it's a one-man crew covering a wide service area from Ashland to Franklin.

Roger has done several jobs for us including replacing stair railings, new baseboard heater covers, installed a new window and painting bedroom and trim. When we explained what we were looking for, he had many suggestions on different ways to approach things which were better than our own ideas. Our projects came out better than we had imagined! Roger is a perfectionist, a stickler for detail and a true craftsman. He shows up on time, cleans up after himself as he goes along and, after a few days, he seemed like part of the family! We are having him back in the spring to rebuild our crumbling deck and other projects we haven't even thought of yet!

Roger did beautiful work in our kitchen and bathroom for a very reasonable price. He was always on time and responsive to our questions. We would definitely use his services again in the future and we highly recommend him!
Roger was great. He replaced 40 LF of rotted sill on my 100 yr old garage, 1/2 the floor inside and one door. He responded promptly and provided a written quote within 2-3 days that included a schedule of work and payments due. He worked tirelessly through the hottest summer days at a steady pace. His cuts were all precise, his choice of materials and fasteners was all correct and he kept a clean and safe work site. He was pleasant to deal with and I’d hire him again in a minute.
Excellent craftsmanship, work was completed ahead of schedule and Roger was always on time. Estimates were straight forward and honest. Prices are affordable and there are no hidden fees. MHR is an amazing resource for all home repairs and I will be a customer forever!
