# On the level carpentry and contracting **Trade:** Carpentry · **Languages:** English **Rating: 2.8/5** (low confidence) — from 3 reviews across 3 sources. ## The honest read On the level carpentry and contracting is a Dedham, MA outfit that says it has 32 years in carpentry and remodeling — the kind of shop homeowners call for trim, tile, and general fix-it carpentry rather than sweeping gut renovations. Both Angi and HomeAdvisor list identical services: all types of remodeling, tile, windows, doors, sheet rock, kitchens, baths, additions, hardwood floors, decks, basements, and finish carpentry. Every review on file is a perfect 5 stars, and it's largely the same customer's story told twice. In a 2011 review, a homeowner described a shower glass surround job that went sideways when window trim had to be pulled out and left exposed — Paul fit the fix into a busy schedule and finished the repair along with other carpentry work. That same customer came back in an earlier 2010 review for more work, saying Paul returned on a Saturday to regrout tile so a glass enclosure could go in on schedule, and called him honest and straightforward with no hidden costs. A third review, from 2015, is shorter but keeps the same theme — thorough work, with suggestions offered that weren't strictly necessary. Worth knowing before calling: the written record is dated. All three reviews were filed between 2010 and 2015, so there's no recent account of current pricing, availability, or crew size — only the pattern from over a decade ago of careful trim and tile fixes and a customer willing to rehire. This looks like the right call for finish carpentry, trim repairs, and tile work rather than a full kitchen or bath gut remodel — confirm current availability and get a firm estimate, since free estimates are offered but nothing on file speaks to today's scheduling or pricing. **Strengths:** - Repeat customer trust — same homeowner rehired Paul across two jobs - Perfect review scores — 5.0 from all 3 reviews on HomeAdvisor and Angi **Concerns:** - Dated review history — all three reviews filed between 2010 and 2015 ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Same customer rehired Paul for tile and carpentry work across two separate jobs _(confidence: medium)_ - [HomeAdvisor](https://www.homeadvisor.com/rated.onthelevel.155738669.html) — “5★ Due to a misunderstanding between the shower glass surround estimator and installer, exisiting window trim had to be removed.
