Alex's work shows up in the parts of a house that have to fit exactly: a mudroom built-in made from a homeowner's own sketch, a fridge cabinet resized so the new wood disappears into dated kitchen cabinets, a pocket door and shelving worked into a laundry room. Olive Branch Carpentry and Renovations is based on Sullivan Place in Millbury. Eight Google ratings average 4.5, and the written reviews run from 2024 to this year. Several describe carpentry that grew into a second job: a 2024 customer had two decks and a set of stairs replaced, liked the work, and asked Alex back to redesign the laundry room. Another 2024 reviewer had stairs, a porch and a storm door done, and called the quote transparent and easy to understand. A homeowner writing in August 2026 says he redid an entire bathroom, on time and meticulous down to the detail work, and a 2025 reviewer who bought a commercial building for a private practice described the whole space rebuilt. Two things to raise before booking. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 212921 in the company's own name, is expired on the state registry — for a whole-bathroom or whole-space job that registration matters, so ask where it stands. And scheduling has bitten at least one customer: a December 2024 reviewer left work three hours early for a 6:00 appointment, arrived at 5:45, and was told Alex was running to 6:30 in traffic, which they took as disrespect for their time. Every other dated review calls him punctual. For built-ins, stairs, decks, trim, and the kind of kitchen carpentry that has to match what is already in the room, this is a shop people ask back for a second project. Confirm where the registration stands and put the appointment window in writing before the first visit.
Alex completely redid my entire bathroom, and I couldn’t be happier! From start to finish he was incredibly professional on time, clear in his communication, respectful of my home, and meticulous with every detail. The finished bathroom looks absolutely stunning. It’s beautiful, functional, and far exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for quality work and someone you can trust with a full remodel, Alex is the one. Highly recommend!
Alex's work is fantastic! I purchased a commercial building for private practice, and boy did it need work! Alex totally transformed the whole space to a place I am proud to welcome people into. I am so grateful it came out so beautifully! After watching one space transformation, it was hard to resist completing more. I went forward with a total floor to ceiling renovation, and it looks fantastic! He also completed the bathroom floors, kitchenette, and his carpentry was impeccable. He was very reliable, honest, fair with pricing, and I could count on him to help me with anything I needed. Everything was completed on time, spotless and ready for me to open my doors. I highly recommend Alex, and would use his services again and again! Susan Gagnon, owner of Lightmind Psychiatry
Absolutely fantastic! I could not be happier with Alex’s skills and professionalism. He resized a fridge cabinet and changed out dated aspects of my kitchen cabinets, and blended the new into the rest perfectly. He took his time to make sure that everything was level and secure, and that every spot that needed a paint touchup got it. Easiest construction experience ever. He is my new go-to for every project!
We had a great experience working with Alex! I had a vision of what I wanted for a built-in for our mudroom and he brought it to life! He was punctual and listened to what I wanted. He was very responsive via text. I would recommend him and his work to anyone!
“Unprofessional and disrespectful of my time.” I scheduled an appointment with this contractor for 6:00 PM, left work three hours early, and arrived at 5:45 PM. I texted him to let him know I was there, and he said he’d be late, arriving at 6:30 PM due to traffic. I understood and waited. At 6:30 PM, he told me he’d now arrive at 7:30 PM. I told him not to bother, but he insisted I stay, promising he was on the way. I waited another hour, but when 7:40 PM came, he wasn’t there. If he couldn’t make it, he should’ve communicated that upfront. Instead, I wasted hours waiting for someone who clearly doesn’t respect other people’s time or money. In hindsight, I’m glad he didn’t show up I wouldn’t trust him to work on my house.
