Paul’s Carpentry Workshop

Paul's Carpentry Workshop has been run by Paul Morse out of Stoneham since 1986 — the BBB lists it as an A+ accredited business since 2008 — and today it carries a 4.8-star average across 22 Google ratings, with jobs spanning small furniture fixes to full room renovations. Recent reviews show that range. This year, one customer had Paul sand and stain a deck and fix a problem he spotted along the way; another had him finish a basement with a new bathroom in Winchester, calling it beautiful; a third had a moving-sale desk refinished and even delivered to a storage unit. In a January 2026 review, a customer of five years called him their go-to contractor, describing a recent project that added a whole new bathroom alongside a full bathroom renovation. Older reviews fill out a long, mostly consistent record. In 2025, customers described him fixing a leaning old garage at a fair price, rebuilding basement stairs he called outstanding, and solving a tricky window-sill problem after a new kitchen backsplash left a window that no longer fit. In a 2024 review, a customer described him rebuilding a porch and proactively suggesting rot-resistant materials after noticing potted plants had been damaging the old one. Reviews as far back as 2008 describe storm door installs and iron-to-redwood railing replacement, and a 2021 review described him rebuilding drawers from a set of 1915 built-in cabinets rather than doing a quick patch job. The one sour note is a 2023 review calling the company rude and unprofessional, with nothing else like it anywhere else in the record before or since. Paul's Carpentry Workshop looks like a solid fit for both small carpentry fixes and bigger room renovations — bathrooms, basements, decks and porches — backed by nearly four decades in business; worth confirming current pricing and schedule directly before booking.
