Verified record
Prado's Construction, run out of East Boston, centers on one carpenter — Joe — whose reviews describe both structural carpentry and general handyman work around the house. In a 2023 review, a homeowner described Joe turning an old, unattractive deck into what they called a functional space, calling him an expert carpenter with an eye for aesthetics. An earlier 2022 review credited him with building a porch and handling a mix of smaller jobs — flooring, gutters, even mounting a TV on the wall — calling him talented and trustworthy. A 2024 review kept it brief: good work at a good price. All three reviews on file are five-star and span 2022 to 2024, with the deck and porch jobs as the clearest examples of his carpentry work. Worth confirming Joe himself will be doing the work and getting a clear scope before a bigger project like a deck or porch rebuild.
Great work, very good price!
Joe is an expert carpenter with a keen eye for aesthetics. He transformed an old, not very attractive deck, into a beautiful, incredibly functional space. Working with him is a great experience. Hiring him is a gift to yourself!
Joe is talented and trustworthy. He built our porch and installed anything from flooring to gutters to a remote controlled TV wall mount.
