## The honest read

Terry Stone builds the pieces that have to fit a house exactly: mudroom built-ins, second-floor laundry cabinets, wainscoting that meets trim already on the wall. Stone & Stone Woodworking works out of Indian Orchard and, on its Houzz profile, dates the family shop to 1987. The Better Business Bureau lists Terrence J. Stone as president and the company as a corporation making custom built-in cabinets, furniture, chairs and tables.

Five people have written about the work on Houzz, every one of them a five-star account. A 2020 customer said the built-in and second-floor laundry storage cabinets Terry made were exactly what she had pictured. A homeowner in April 2019 hired him for a mudroom built-in system, dining-room wainscoting and kitchen woodworking on one job; another that same month had already used the shop across several projects. The July 2021 one comes from the countertop installer who worked alongside them on a job — praise from the trade rather than from someone who hired them.

Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration #161149 is active on the state registry under the company's own name. The Houzz listing also names a Connecticut registration, #0645854, and a 2010 Torch Award from the BBB of Central New England; both are the profile's own text. The BBB file carries no complaints, though the business is unaccredited there and has no BBB grade.

The reviews stop in 2021, so this is a shop to ask for current work: photographs of cabinets finished in the last year or two, and a customer you can call. For built-ins, a bar, a mantel or interior doors made to measure, the people who hired Terry describe getting back the thing they described. Settle lead time and a payment schedule before the first piece goes into the shop.

**Strengths:**
- Custom built-ins — five five-star Houzz reviews describe cabinets made exactly to plan
- Active MA registration — home improvement contractor #161149 verified on the state registry
- Repeat customers — one 2019 reviewer had used the shop on several projects
- Since 1987 — Houzz dates the family woodworking shop to that year
- No BBB complaints — none on file at the Better Business Bureau

**Concerns:**
- Dated reviews — the five Houzz accounts run 2019 to 2021
- Thin review count — five reviews, all on a single platform
- No BBB rating — the profile is unaccredited and ungraded
- Trade endorsement — the 2021 review came from a countertop installer

**Where sources disagree:**
- Houzz lists a Connecticut registration (#0645854) in addition to the Massachusetts number; #161149 is the registration confirmed active on the Massachusetts registry.
