RME Carpentry is Ray Ellis's carpentry business, run out of Hanover on the South Shore. In an April 2026 r/boston thread, a commenter put his name forward as reliable and honest, and pointed to projects he had already done in Newton. If you are lining up a carpenter around the South Shore or the western suburbs, he is worth a call. Ask him to walk you through a recent job like yours, and get his home improvement contractor registration and proof of insurance before work starts.
