## The honest read

Nathan Fontes builds and rebuilds decks and porches for homeowners around Halifax, MA — the kind of contractor reviewers call on a Sunday and have a finished deck by Thursday.

Twenty-six reviews on Angi and HomeAdvisor run from 2024 through August 2026, and all but one are a flat 5 stars, covering deck rebuilds, porch repairs and additions to existing decks, plus a handful of window and siding jobs on the side. Recent reviewers keep describing the same thing — a fast quote, a crew that shows up when it says it will, and extras thrown in at no charge: a 2025 review mentions 'a bunch of extra things at no charge,' and a 2024 review describes items 'installed at no cost' after the main job wrapped.

Nathan Fontes's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active under his own name.

BuildZoom separately lists a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor number for the business, a distinct credential from the home improvement registration. Angi and HomeAdvisor show largely the same reviewer names, dates and wording, since the two platforms share one underlying review network rather than offering two independent accounts, and a couple of reviews also look like the same customer writing twice under one name and date.

For a deck, porch or exterior carpentry job on the South Shore, this is a well-documented, consistently positive track record — there isn't much to flag beyond confirming scope and price up front, the way you would with any contractor.

**Strengths:**
- Fast turnaround — a deck built within days of the first call
- No-charge extras — reviewers describe added work done free
- Consistent five-star run — 25 of 26 reviews rate 5 stars
- Active state license — matches his own name, not a separate entity

**Where sources disagree:**
- Angi and HomeAdvisor show largely the same reviewer names, dates and wording, reflecting one shared review network rather than two independent platforms
- A couple of reviews with matching names and dates on different platforms may be the same customer's account counted twice
