Rp General Services Inc.deck &Porch

RP General Services is a Lynn, Massachusetts outfit that reviewers describe as a small, family-run crew led by a man named Ricardo — the company's Thumbtack profile lists it as family-owned, with about 9 years of experience by its own account on HomeAdvisor. The work people hire them for is decks and porches: full deck and porch rebuilds, additions, repairs, staining and sealing, plus trim, molding, and siding work. A Thumbtack reviewer described RP tearing out an old farmers' porch and replacing it with a much larger deck, calling the result solidly built, inviting and attractive; a HomeAdvisor reviewer said Ricardo's crew dug four footings for a new deck so fast and at a good price. Others describe siding and exterior trim replaced with vinyl, and a full exterior repaint. Across both platforms the reviews land almost entirely at five stars — 4.4 from 11 ratings on Thumbtack, 4.8 from 32 on HomeAdvisor — and the recurring theme is that Ricardo shows up, sticks to the timeline he quotes, and keeps the price from moving once work starts. One thing worth asking about: HomeAdvisor's profile notes a recent 2-star review reporting that a deck became loose after installation. It's the outlier in an otherwise consistent record, but it's real enough to bring up directly before signing a contract — ask what the follow-up looks like if something shifts after the crew leaves. RP lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration on Thumbtack (a directory claim, not independently verified here) and says on HomeAdvisor that it offers Spanish-language service. For a deck, porch, or exterior-trim job in the Lynn area, this is a crew with a real, mostly-positive track record — just worth confirming the post-installation follow-up before signing.
