## The honest read

Overseas Wood Design is a custom carpentry business based at 724 Main St in Hyannis, working across Cape Cod. The company focuses on floating stair systems, custom railings, and interior finish carpentry — trim, wood panels, built-ins, and cabinet installation — and states on its own site that it is the only officially certified Viewrail partner for floating stair systems in the Cape Cod and Islands region. Jose (one reviewer names the surname Freire) is named across many independent customer reviews as the owner leading the crew.

The company's Google reviews are uniformly five stars across all 24 retrievable reviews dating from 2023 through mid-2026, and several carry real detail rather than generic praise. Homeowners describe floating staircase and railing installations that "completely transformed" a room, and reviewers repeatedly single out precise, clean craftsmanship and responsive communication through the project. Trade professionals back this up too: a general contractor reports using Overseas Wood Design on multiple projects for finish millwork, door and hardware installs, and trim, praising reliable scheduling and follow-through, while the owner of a local realty and property-management firm credits the company's floating-staircase work with adding real value to a listing.

The business carries an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (HIC 206132), registry-verified under the exact holder name Overseas Wood Design Inc — a clean match with no name or entity discrepancy to flag.

There's little in the record to raise a caution flag: no negative reviews, no BBB grade, and no government actions turned up in this scan. What's worth asking about before booking is simply the scope of a given project, since the review record leans heavily toward stair, railing, and interior trim work rather than larger structural carpentry.

Overseas Wood Design looks like a solid pick for a homeowner or contractor on Cape Cod who wants a licensed specialist for a statement staircase, railing system, or finish-carpentry package — confirm current lead times and get a written scope for the specific job.

**Strengths:**
- Floating stair installation — repeated praise for Viewrail staircase craftsmanship
- Attention to detail — reviewers consistently cite precise, clean finish work
- Responsive communication — customers and trade partners praise clear updates
- Verified license — active MA HIC matches this business exactly
- Trade referrals — a general contractor and property manager both vouch for repeat work
