Modern Touch Construction describes itself as a carpentry business focused on custom pieces and detailed finishes, and it states free estimates and that it is insured. A recent customer says Joao and his team handled a major exterior refresh: modernizing dormers, updating front doors and trim, installing a new storm door and lights, replacing PVC board on a sunroom and replacing rotten shingles ahead of a paint job, while sending photos and flagging issues before making changes. Another recent customer says the company replaced all the rotten wood trim on their house before the exterior was painted, and a third says it replaced their front door. In a 2025 review, a customer said Joao and his team replaced old trim before an exterior paint job and added decorative molding above the front door and in a bedroom, with Joao creating the door molding from a photo the customer sent. In another 2025 review, a customer said João and his team replaced years of rotting wood trim and clapboard on their house with PVC. In a 2024 review, a customer said the company did their back deck, and another 2024 review says it restored the reviewer's 1906 colonial.

Modern Touch did an amazing job replacing our front door. They were meticulous and a joy to work with. I plan to have them back for more projects. I highly recommend Modern Touch Construction.
We hired Modern Touch Construction for a major exterior refresh on our home, and the results exceeded our expectations. Their team modernized our dormers, updated our front doors and trim, installed a new storm door and lights, gave our garage a sleek, modern square look, replaced PVC board on our sunroom, and replaced rotten shingles in several areas ahead of our upcoming paint job. What stood out most was their communication. They kept us updated every step of the way, sending photos and flagging any issues before making changes - nothing felt like a surprise. The entire project stayed on schedule and never disrupted our day-to-day life, which we really appreciated. The finished product looks incredible, even our neighbors have commented on how much of a difference it's made. We'd highly recommend Joao and his team to anyone looking for quality work and a smooth, stress-free experience. We couldn’t be happier with their professionalism, expertise and work ethic!
Modern Touch did a wonderful job replacing all the rotten wood trim on our house prior to the exterior paint work completed by Jose Carvalho Paint Inc. Joao and team were professional, thorough and reliable. I would definitely work with them again!
Joao and his team were fantastic. They replaced old trim prior to getting our house exterior painted and added some decorative molding above our front door and in a bedroom. Everything came out perfect. Joao created the door molding based off a photo we sent him and it looks so beautiful. He was also so helpful when the molding for the bedroom wasn’t quite right; he took the time to come to a store with me to pick out something I liked. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Modern Touch again!
I have used modern touch several times. They’re amazing. Their work is impeccable. They clean up after every job best contractor I’ve had in Rhode Island.
