PLJ Carpentry Inc.

PLJ Carpentry Inc. is a Cohasset-based exterior-carpentry contractor founded by Paulo, who grew the company from a single van into a roughly 30-employee crew serving Cape Cod, carrying an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration. By its own description, the company specializes in roofing, siding, decking, trim, windows and doors, and remodeling. The review base is large and detailed for how recent it is: a 5★ average from 27 Google ratings and a 4.6★ average from 16 Angi ratings, with 28 individual reviews on file, all from 2025 and 2026. Deck replacement is a recurring theme — reviewers across the past year describe rotted decks rebuilt quickly, cleanly, and to a high standard, with named crew members singled out repeatedly for craftsmanship. Siding work draws similar praise: reviews describe PVC, cedar, and vinyl siding replacements, including full-house jobs with Hardy Board on the peaks, finished with careful daily cleanup. Roofing also comes up several times, with reviewers describing quick, high-quality installations. What repeats across nearly every review, regardless of the job, is organization and communication: a project manager staying in touch throughout, uniformed and professional crews, and job sites cleaned up daily. One reviewer described contacting eight other contractors over two years before finding one that returned calls and showed up as promised. One thing worth knowing before hiring: a federal OSHA record shows the company was cited for a serious violation — duty to have fall protection — under inspection number 1658531.015. It's the kind of citation that matters for roofing and deck work performed at height, and it's worth asking directly how the company addressed it. For roofing, siding, decking, and exterior carpentry, PLJ Carpentry's review base is strong and consistent, but the OSHA fall-protection citation is a real safety compliance issue worth weighing alongside the otherwise glowing reviews.
