RFS Carpentry is a West Yarmouth carpentry and general contracting outfit run by Rodrigo — Rod to most of his customers — covering the Cape from finish carpentry and custom cabinetry through to roofing, siding, decks and additions. Google shows 5 stars from 32 ratings, and the sixteen written accounts on file run from 2021 to 2026. What stands out is repeat custom. One reviewer in 2023 was on their third project with the company; another in 2021 had used it for three separate jobs inside and outside their home. A February 2024 reviewer described a family room and bath addition that grew into a whole-house makeover — new roofing, siding, gutters, front portico, farmer's porch, rear deck and a kitchen expansion. Old houses come up repeatedly, which matters on the Cape. A 2021 reviewer renovating a 1940s Dennis cottage praised attention to detail; another in 2021 with an 1860s house said that when problems surfaced outside the scope of work — inevitable in old houses — the work was explained rather than simply billed. A November 2024 reviewer who bought a home where the previous owners had hidden defects behind bondo and paint said the work was done the right way with no corners cut. Recent work is exterior-heavy: a June 2026 Reddit commenter said the team had just finished their house with new windows, vinyl siding, roof and gutters and had done several other houses in the neighbourhood, at what they judged reasonable prices. A March 2026 reviewer had fifty-year-old concrete steps and crumbling brick stoop replaced, and described the composite carpentry that replaced them as pristine. Two things to note before booking. The record is uniformly positive but modest in size — sixteen reviews, none negative, and only one in the last six months — so there is little to weigh against the praise. And while the company describes itself as a Massachusetts licensed general contractor, it publishes no licence number, and none was verified against the state registry here. Ask for the construction supervisor and home improvement contractor numbers and check them before signing.
“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.
