Moises Carpentry and Painting

Moises Carpentry & Painting is a Lynn, Massachusetts crew built around porch and deck carpentry with painting alongside it, run by owner Moises Lopez. Its Thumbtack profile puts it at 16 years in business, and its own site describes a residential and commercial shop that also covers gutters and general remodeling. The clearest window into recent work is the last six months, and it splits into full rebuilds and storm calls. In May, the crew tore down and reconstructed an entire front porch, then stained and painted it along with the trim around the rest of the house. In early February, two different homeowners called within days of each other for winter storm cleanup — one for ice dams pulled off a roof, the other for snow removal — and both described the response as quick. In January, another customer had a full set of front porch steps rebuilt, including new banisters and risers that had rotted from water damage, plus a new support post. None of the eight reviews from this stretch came back negative. That consistency runs through the wider history: 89 reviews since 2021 across six sources, and the numbers barely move between them — 5.0 from 71 ratings on Google, 4.9 from 60 on Angi, 5.0 from 2 on Thumbtack. Deck and porch work — framing, step and railing replacements, foundation repairs under old porches — comes up again and again across that span, alongside painting jobs both interior and exterior. A couple of outside write-ups also mention kitchen and bathroom renovation work, though that's thinner ground than the carpentry and paint jobs its reviews mostly describe. Two things are worth raising before signing a quote. Angi's collected reviews mention a project that slipped behind schedule after a supply-order mishap, and at least one job where rotted wood under a porch turned out to be more extensive than the original estimate covered — in both cases the customer said Moises communicated the change and saw it through, but it's worth asking upfront how material delays and mid-project scope changes get priced. Its Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (198167) is active. This is a solid call for porch and deck rebuilds, exterior trim and painting, and winter storm carpentry repairs around Lynn and the North Shore — confirm how weather delays and scope changes are handled before booking.
