Doors are what Cledson Saraiva does. Seven of them in one July 2026 job — four exterior, three interior — in a house where every door was 65 years old, worked through steadily and the site swept each evening before he left. Another customer that month had two exterior doors fitted and described what good door work actually means: aligned properly, opening and closing smoothly, the frame right before the hardware goes on. Saraiva Carpentry is a Somerville finish carpentry shop, and its directory profiles list 13 years of experience, free estimates and Spanish spoken. Beyond doors, the listed work is trim and decorative molding, cabinet installation, closet remodels and stair repairs. Thumbtack shows him as a Top Pro at 4.9 stars across 320 ratings with 282 projects, and says a Massachusetts home improvement contractor licence has been verified on its side; Angi and HomeAdvisor both list Massachusetts trade licence 217911, expiring in January 2028, and both rate him 5.0 across five reviews. He fits jobs in around a full book. In a July 2026 review, a customer said he was busy enough that he asked whether a Sunday would work — then came and hung the new door and storm door that day. A February 2026 customer with a short deadline said he was flexible enough to meet it, and called the price very affordable. A homeowner writing in April 2026 said he came out to look at the property, showed photos of jobs he had just finished, and explained how straightforward the work would be. Price comes up consistently: reasonable, affordable, worth it. A January 2026 customer who had a front door replaced and remodeled called the result stunning and the price fair. One small caveat: Thumbtack's 320 ratings are 97% five-star with about 1% at one star, so the spread is not quite perfect — ask for photos or an address from a job like yours, as other customers have been shown. For doors, trim, closets and the finish work that has to line up exactly, this is a strong call. Confirm the lead time and whether he is supplying the doors or you are, since his schedule is the limiting factor.
Very professional and prompt. The two doors installed were done with the utmost attention to detail. I would definitely recommend him for a future job. I give his work A+++
Did a great job putting a new door and storm door . He was very busy so he ask if he could do it on a Sunday and came by put them in looks great and works great . Very friendly and hard working
Cledson replaced seven doors for me. 4 exterior and 3 interior doors. Wow! What a wonderful person and craftsman. My house is older and all doors were 65 years old that needed replacing. Cledson worked steadily quietly and cleaned up the job site each evening when he completed the day. I am so thrilled with my new doors each one clicks closed so perfectly. Thank you, Cledson.
I had two exterior doors installed, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. Communication was clear and professional. Cledson took the time to make sure the doors were installed correctly, aligned perfectly, and operated smoothly. The craftsmanship and attention to detail really stood out. Cledson was knowledgeable, answered all of my questions, and made sure I was completely satisfied before leaving. The finished installation has completely improved the look and functionality of my home. It's clear he takes pride in his work and care about delivering high-quality results. I would absolutely hire him again for future projects and highly recommend Cledson to anyone looking for a dependable, skilled, and professional door installer.
Cledson was very friendly! His work was neat and thorough. He addressed all of my concerns and I’m very pleased with the install of my new door!
