RFS Carpentry is a Cape Cod carpentry and general-contracting company whose customers call it for substantial home improvements as well as precise finish work. The company says it handles residential and commercial building, remodeling, roofing, siding, decks, custom cabinetry, and finish carpentry; Massachusetts' registry shows active CSL CS-119710 under Rodrigo Souza. The strongest recent account is from March 2026, when a homeowner described replacing 50-year-old concrete steps and a crumbling front stoop, followed by a clean-up and a composite-wood carpentry finish. Earlier reviews add useful range: a February 2024 homeowner described a family-room and bath addition, roofing, siding, gutters, porches, a deck, and a kitchen expansion; a January 2022 reviewer praised a custom bookcase; and an October 2021 review described exterior repairs on an 1860s home. These are dated accounts, but together they show work spanning structural changes, exterior repairs, and custom interior carpentry. The written record is mostly older: only one review falls in the last six months, while the detailed project accounts run from 2021 through 2026. A June 2026 Reddit commenter also recommended Rodrigo's work on windows, vinyl siding, roofing, and gutters, though that is a neighbor's account rather than a company statement. RFS Carpentry looks suited to homeowners planning a renovation that combines carpentry with broader building or exterior work, or to someone seeking custom woodwork. Before booking, confirm the exact trade scope, the person responsible for the project, and which portions of a multi-trade plan RFS will perform directly.
“https://www.rfscinc.com/ Rodrigo just finished our house, which needed new windows, vinyl siding, roof, gutters. His team also did a couple of other houses in the neighborhood. We were really pleased with his work. I believe his prices were reasonable, and he was very transparent about all costs. I re”
Had 50 year old steps and front stoop replaced. It was all concrete and crumbling bricks. What a job. It took hours to remove the concrete. They cleaned up everything. The composite wood was pristine carpentry. It adds so much to the front of my home . Would highly recommend .

From the first interaction, Rodrigo was responsive, professional, and wonderful to work with. He and his crew were absolutely amazing as they worked to complete multiple projects inside and outside of my home. They worked diligently, graciously dealt with a couple of wrong faucets (I purchased) and didn’t stop until everything was done. Rodrigo/RFS Carpentry exceeded my expectations and I couldn’t be happier!
Great company, most reliable and easy to work with, great value, and always responsive, you can call and they will get it done.
This is long winded so heres the summary: The work is done the right way, no cutting corners, excellent pricing, terrific service. 10000000% happy with the work! We purchased a new home and the previous owners slapped bondo and paint on everything to hide the work that needed to be done. One of the first projects of many we wanted done was the porch support pillars that were rotting and becoming a hazard. Rod and crew not only replaced the pillars but corrected the previous work that was done sub par. When completed we had new pillars, a sturdy and protected structure, that looks incredible. The crew left no mess and it looked perfect! We will be using RFS Carpentry for all our future projects, and we have a ton of them.
