Milton Carpentry Services has a 31-rating Google profile sitting at 5.0, and the jobs homeowners talk about are spread across the house rather than locked into one trade: an enclosed-porch roof replaced with a matching hardwood deck, stair treads and risers rebuilt after carpet damage, windows replaced, interior paint, siding, and small repair work. From Lynn, the company says Milton Alfaro founded and leads the business, that it is family owned, and that it has been doing residential carpentry, custom work, interior painting, and select exterior carpentry and deck renovation projects around Beverly and the North Shore for 23 years. Its Massachusetts home-improvement-contractor license is active. The thing that would move most homeowners here is how often speed and clarity show up together. Recent customers keep mentioning quick replies, straightforward conversations about pricing and options, and a worksite left clean at the end of the day. In June, one Ipswich homeowner said Milton replaced the roof on an enclosed porch and built a hardwood deck to match it. In April, another hired him to replace damaged stair treads and risers. February reviews mention window replacement and a mix of carpentry, painting, and handyman work; a March review points to a finished paint job; and in January, one homeowner said Milton came by immediately when water started getting in from an ice dam and fixed the problem within hours. Another recent customer said he stepped in after a previous contractor had to leave a job mid-project. This is not just one burst of recent praise. Several homeowners describe repeat hiring across multiple jobs, and one says Milton has been their carpenter for more than 10 years. Another says he helped build two residences. Most of the public review history sits on Google, but within that history the through-line is steady: detailed carpentry, broad house-project range, and less drama around scheduling and communication than homeowners often brace for. Before you book, pin down two things. The last six months were not perfect, with one negative review in that stretch, so ask directly what went wrong on that job. And if you're calling about a full bathroom remodel, get precise about scope. The jobs people describe lean much more toward carpentry, decks, stairs, windows, painting, and repair work than whole-room bath rebuilds. For homeowners who need that kind of carpentry-centered project, he is worth a call; just confirm who will be on site, what parts his crew handles, and ask to see a recent job close to yours.

    I would rate Milton Carpentry Services with 10 stars if I could. My wife and I live in Ipswich and hired Milton to replace the roof on our enclosed porch and build a hardwood deck matching the dimensions of the roof.<br><br>From his first visit to the final nail, Milton was always extremely knowledgeable, patient and easy to work with. He showed up when promised, kept us informed at each stage of the project and always left the site neat and clean each day.<br><br>It was immediately apparent that Milton and everyone in his crew were exceptionally competent and skilled, and that his quality standards were first rate. He’s probably the best we’ve ever worked with. I would not hesitate to hire him for any carpentry, building or remodeling job.

    I recently purchased a condo “as is” knowing there would be potentially a lot of fixing up & repairs to be made.<br><br>I hired Milton to replace my stair treads & risers after having an original rug removed from the whole staircase. The staples used left the wood damaged & unable to be sanded or repainted. When he came to do a consult, we discussed he would be building a new banister, spindles, and installing a new railing to go along the outside for safety, as the existing one was not to code height.<br>Milton sent me a proposal with what we discussed within a few days. I agreed to move forward feeling confident he would get the job done as explained.<br>When he first began the project, he immediately made me aware of his concerns, once he saw what was beneath the few steps he removed. He explained the support under the steps was not done correctly and that the framing of the staircase was in question as a result. He advised me to consider demoing the whole staircase to start new, as the integrity was not going to hold up eventually even with new treads /risers. He strongly recommended I seriously think about this as an option. He revised his proposal and I agreed to trust his professional opinion.<br>It took 1 day to demo the staircase and 1 day to frame out a new one. From that day on Milton kept me informed of progress with phone calls & pictures of what he had done. Before the project was done, I asked for a change in how to enter into my half bath (under the stairs) Milton was able to make the necessary adjustments to meet my request and was still able to still complete the new project within a time span just under a week in half from full demo to finished.<br>Milton also was able to install my new main front door and ensure that it was fitted and securely put into a new frame etc.<br><br>These updates have already added value back into my new home! The work was finished on time and the area was also left cleaned up leaving little trace of any construction project! His finish work was well done and having that custom woodwork will add to the homes value a great deal!<br><br>I would recommend Milton and feel his professionalism also adds to his craftsmanship. His honesty about the condition of my stairs shows that he takes his work seriously and he didn’t want to just cover up a problem. I am Very satisfied!

    Milton Carpentry was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process of our project of installing our interior jobs.<br><br>Milton was incredibly responsive during the design process. During construction he was professional, clean and the results came out exactly what we wanted. All with a reasonable price.<br><br>I couldn't be happier choosing Milton Carpentry and highly recommend them.

    Milton was fantastic to work with! Communication was quick and clear from start to finish. His team worked efficiently and paid great attention to detail. Our finished paint job looks great and we look forward to working with him again on future projects in our home.

    We would highly recommend working with Milton. He was super communicative and clear about exceptions and pricing. Milton and his team were professional and very cleanly when doing work on-site in my home, which we really appreciated! We LOVE how the work he completed at our house came out and know we will use him for future projects!! If you have a project you want done professionally and in a timely fashion, Milton is the person to reach out to!
