Profile Builders is a one-person carpentry business out of Danvers run by Peter Daniels, who directories describe as a 27-year veteran-owned outfit specializing in decks, porches and stairs. Thumbtack backs that up with real volume: a 4.8 rating across 43 reviews and 52 hires, plus a background check on file for Daniels from 2023. The written reviews, which run from 2015 to 2021, all describe the same kind of job: porch and deck work, done well. In a 2020 review, Peter replaced an entire front porch with composite decking and railing; another 2020 review describes him diagnosing and fixing a staircase railing in a couple of hours. A 2019 review credits him with a porch repair plus a last-minute drainage fix, finished faster than he'd estimated, and a 2018 review describes a side porch rebuild alongside restaining the front porch. The oldest review on file, from 2015, describes an interior wood stairway repair in a Salem home, with Peter cleaning up after himself. Directories also list kitchen and bath remodeling among his services, though nothing in the written reviews speaks to that kind of job — the actual track record here is carpentry: decks, porches and stairs. For a deck, porch or stair repair in the North Shore area, this is a specialist with a long, consistently positive history, even if the written reviews themselves are dated — worth confirming current availability given it's a one-person operation.

Very responsive with fair pricing and easy shecduling! They have great customer service, they are very friendly!
Peter was fantastic to work. Quick. Reliable. Fair price. We didn't know how to fix the railway on our staircase and Peter was able to assess the issue and repair in just a couple of hours. Highly recommend.
Peter replaced our entire front porch with composite decking and railing, it came out amazing. I would highly recommend Peter for any carpentry job! Thank you Peter!
Peter and his team were wonderful to work with. They helped me with a porch repair I'd been needing for some time and even fixed a drainage issue I asked for last minute. Communication was spot on punctual, Peter was very straightforward with what I needed, and everything was done even faster than he had estimated. Would absolutely recommend the company!
Peter did an excellent job in a timely fashion at the most reasonable price. We needed a side porch rebuilt and a restaining of the front porch. I would highly recommend Peter for any projects you might have. He was courteous and I felt very comfortable opening my home to him.
