One Good Carpenter is a Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts carpentry and renovation-consulting outfit that says it has 36 years in the trade. Its Houzz profile shows a long finish-carpentry and custom-cabinetry range — built-ins, crown molding, bookcases, kitchen cabinets, fireplace mantels — plus fence installation and repair and deck work, with 18 project photo sets from jobs in Wellesley, Somerville, and Naples, Florida, and a stated Greater Boston service area. Worth checking before hiring: the business's self-listed credentials — an HIC registration, a lead-safe renovator certificate, a hoisting engineer licence, and a CSFA credential — all carry expiration dates between 2019 and 2021 on Houzz, and none of these have been independently verified against the state registry. Its BBB file also lists a Lexington address, different from the Wellesley Hills location its own web presence gives, and BBB rates it "Not Rated" for lack of sufficient information.
