RJT Carpentry & Tile is a Boston remodeling company founded and run by Ryaan Tuttle, who says the business began in 2005 after his carpentry training and now focuses on kitchens, bathrooms, additions and home renovation. The company says it serves Boston, Greater Boston and the North Shore and carries Massachusetts HIC and CSL numbers on its own site. The written customer history is old but unusually specific: 26 reviews date from 2015 through 2017, with Houzz showing 5.0 from 12 ratings and Porch showing 4.8 from 69 ratings. Homeowners describe a basement renovation, a roof-leak project involving two roofs and deck rebuilding, a front-door and frame installation, porch and gutter work, tile backsplash installation, and a home addition. Reviews repeatedly mention clear communication, keeping to budgets and timelines, and detailed finish work. The business’s own service pages emphasize full kitchen and bathroom remodels, design, permits, project planning, demolition, labor and materials. Its BBB page gives it an A+ grade and lists 21 years in business, while BuildZoom describes Massachusetts permit history for kitchens, baths, decks and roofing. Those directory license entries are claims to verify rather than substitutes for checking the current state record. RJT is a strong fit for homeowners planning a coordinated Boston-area remodel or carpentry-heavy addition, especially when communication and project management matter. Because nearly all written reviews are from 2015–2017, ask for current references, confirm the active Massachusetts credentials, and get the scope, allowances, subcontractors and schedule in writing before work begins.
“Founder & Chief Executive Officer at RJT Carpentry & Tile Inc.”
RJT Carpentry & tile are true professionals in every sense of the word. As an Interior Designer in the Boston area, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with Ryaan and his team on several projects. They do a great job with customer service, attention to detail, strong communication skills, knowledgeable of building codes and scheduling. What I appreciate the most is the attention to craftsmanship, the honesty, integrity and positive attitude Ryaan and his team bring to each project.
Not only is Ryaan a master craftsman, but he also has the patience of Buddhist monk and the professionalism of a career diplomat! As someone who manages real estate for a living I've had more than my fair share of "bad" contractor experiences, so when it came time to renovate my home I was nervous. However, choosing Ryaan/RJT was one of the best decisions I have made in a long time. From the project's start to finish I feel I was in constant communication with Ryaan: he would check-in, follow-up, offer suggestions/etc, actions you would expect from your contractor but unfortunately rarely receive. While my project was not without its challenges, what renovation isn't, the way Ryaan seamlessly navigated those challenges was nothing short of perfection, and the work speaks for itself (it's beautiful). My only regret is that I did not start this renovation sooner with Ryaan/RJT, do not hesitate in using them, they simply are the best!

Wow! That sums up my experience with RJT. Ryaan and Tom did a complete basement renovation at my home in Nahant. I can tell you exactly what stood out about working with these guys. They are flexible - I pushed the project out a month at the last minute and Ryaan adjusted his schedule accordingly. Communication - Ryann responded to my calls and texts in a very timely manner throughout the project. He never left me hanging and always let me know what to expect every day along the way. Design Partnership - I had a lot of very custom design details that I wanted to incorporate. Ryaan would help me research them and present pros and cons as far as how they would affect timing, cost and functionality. Last, but not least, they are just all around good people who are committed to their clients happiness and satisfaction. Do not hesitate to hire these guys - they are the real deal and will deliver for you.
