New England Carpenters

New England Carpenters is a Massachusetts outfit whose real specialty is decks and porches — call in Rossatto and his crew for a rebuild, a staircase that needs fixing, or a porch that's started to sink, and review after review tells the same story: they show up, explain the problem, and fix it right. Across 44 weighted reviews on Google, Thumbtack, HomeAdvisor and Angi — nearly all 5 stars — homeowners describe full deck rebuilds, staircase repairs, and one especially thorough porch renovation that involved jacking a sinking second-floor porch, replacing rotted framing and three support posts, and reinstalling the floors, ceilings, walls and siding underneath it. Beyond decks, the crew does custom carpentry — a built-in pantry, closet shelving, a sliding-door conversion — and, in winter, snow plowing that draws nearly as much detailed praise as the carpentry itself, with reviewers noting they clear driveways plus the doorsteps and edges a plow alone would miss. The pattern across jobs big and small — a $1,000 shed repair, a $4,100 porch job, a $25,000 framing project — is punctuality and cleanup: crews arrive on schedule, flag weather delays ahead of time instead of going quiet, and leave the site clear of debris. Several reviewers mention getting a written estimate within hours of reaching out, and one homeowner who'd already been burned by a botched job from a previous contractor singled out this crew for saving it. One thing worth knowing before calling: the same reviews turn up under two names. Google credits "New England Carpenters," while identical write-ups on Thumbtack and HomeAdvisor are attributed to "Deck New England." It reads like a rebrand or a dba rather than two separate companies, but it's worth confirming which name is on the estimate before signing anything. For a deck build, a porch that needs real structural work, or built-in carpentry, this is a crew with a deep, consistent record behind it — just double-check which entity name they're using this season.
