# Monroy's Carpenters **Trade:** Carpentry · **Address:** 21 Hammond St, Waltham, MA 02451, USA · **Phone:** (617) 401-7420 · **Website:** https://monroyscarpenters.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.1/5** (medium confidence) — from 10 reviews across 7 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 6 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Monroy's Carpenters is a family-owned Waltham carpentry company, run by Elin Monroy since 2017, and holds an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration. Its recent reviews are uniformly five-star, and a bigger 2024 job on Angi fills in the picture of what a larger project looks like. This spring, reviewers praised the crew for being responsive, efficient and detail-oriented, several noting the site stayed clean and the job finished ahead of schedule; one reviewer working with a crew led by Omar called them "amazing." In a 2024 Angi review, a customer described a $45,000 project that combined a full roof replacement, a new front deck, and a complete exterior repaint — finished on time and on budget, with the crew leaving the house spotless. Other 2024 Angi reviews describe the same professionalism on separate roofing, deck and remodeling jobs, one reviewer calling them the most professional company they'd worked with in years. The company's BBB listing shows a different street address than its own website, though the business name, city and trade match exactly — worth confirming which location is current. Its Houzz profile, with seven project galleries, doesn't have any reviews yet. Monroy's looks like a solid fit for deck builds, additions, basement or attic build-outs, and exterior work like siding, roofing or painting, backed by a verified active license; worth confirming current address and scope directly before booking. **Strengths:** - Verified license — active Massachusetts home improvement registration - Big-project capable — handled a $45,000 roof, deck and exterior repaint together - Clean and on schedule — repeatedly finishes ahead of time with a tidy site **Where sources disagree:** - BBB lists a different street address than the company's own website, though the business name, city and trade match exactly ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration verified active (license 211790) _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://contractorhub.mass.gov/s/hic-contractor-search) — “MA hic license 211790 verified active” - Family-owned, owner-operated by Elin Monroy since 2017 _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](https://monroyscarpenters.com) — “A family-owned Waltham, MA carpentry company specializing in decks, additions, basement/attic build-outs, porches, garages, and siding since…” - [Official Website](https://monroyscarpenters.com) — “Company history (self-reported): Family-owned business specializing in deck building and home improvements since 2017.” - [Official Website](https://monroyscarpenters.com) — “Ownership (self-reported): Owner-operated by Elin Monroy (family-owned).” - BBB A+ reliability rating, not an accredited business _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/waltham/profile/construction/monroys-carpenters-inc-0021-540214) — “BBB lists Monroy's Carpenters, Inc.
