One name keeps showing up across Stratum Construction's 2024 reviews: Lee, the carpenter Quincy, Massachusetts homeowners called for deck rebuilds, porch repairs and custom trim work. Writing between February and May of that year, reviewers describe the same habit job after job -- he laid out the plan before starting, checked in as the work went, and stuck to the estimate. The clearest sign of trust is a repeat customer: one homeowner hired the company to replace a deck in 2022, then called Lee back in the summer of 2024 to remodel a bathroom. A March 2024 review walks through a porch-ceiling replacement in detail -- positioning electrical boxes for new lights and ceiling fans, using a laser to keep the new ceiling level, and bringing in two extra workers to finish ahead of schedule and under budget. Another 2024 job covered new siding, trim and windows plus a new exterior dormer, along with interior trim carpentry, and a separate customer had a custom kitchen table built to exact measurements. All 10 reviews on file are five stars, all dated February through May 2024, and they appear on both Angi and HomeAdvisor -- which mirror the same underlying profile rather than count as two independent sources. The company lists a Massachusetts trade license, #209493, expiring August 2027, on both sites, but that's a self-reported field neither directory checked against the state registry. It also lists an International Code Council membership and says it speaks Spanish and offers free estimates and emergency service. Going by that 2024 track record, this looks like a solid option for exterior carpentry -- decks, porches, siding, trim -- and, from two of those reviews, for a bathroom remodel too. Since all of it dates to a single stretch in early-to-mid 2024, it's worth asking whether the same crew and pricing still hold, and confirming that trade license directly with the state before signing anything.

Great work ethic. Job well done at a reasonable price. Will hire them again for future projects.
Lee was a very "hands on" Carpenter. He explained the process of replacing my Porch ceiling in detail. Then he did the job!. He helped me position the electrical boxes for the lights and the ceiling fans as well as walked me threw the molding trim and the strapping required. Lee brought with him a laser that allowed us to make sure the new ceiling was level as well the positioning of the electrical boxes. Lee brought 2 more workers to the project when required and got the job done ahead of schedule and within budget and his estimate! Lee was pleasant to work with and I would highly recommend him for any Carpentry project. Jeff
Lee outlined every step of the project in advance, and walked me through the work completed at the end of each day. There were no surprises in cost, and 100% satisfaction in the quality and timeliness of the work. We are thrilled with the job Stratum did in replacing our deck and will use them again for future projects.
Excellent Work!
I am very happy with their work. I actually hired Stratum to replace my deck in 2022 and asked them to come back to remodel my bathroom this past summer. Their contractor Lee was professional and helpful. He took time to provide different options with pros and cons to the problem. He made sure everything was done to my satisfaction. I appreciated his sincerity. I highly recommend this company.
