Verified record
Every review of Stratum Construction names the same contractor: Lee, described repeatedly as hands-on and detail-oriented, whether he's building a deck, remodeling a bathroom or replacing a porch ceiling. The Quincy company, whose site names Lindomar De Souza as the owner-operator, handles remodeling, additions, finish carpentry, decks and porches, and outdoor living construction. The ten reviews on file, all five stars and mostly written in early 2024, describe a consistent process: Lee outlines the plan in advance, walks customers through the work completed each day, and delivers with no cost surprises. One reviewer who first hired Stratum to replace a deck in 2022 came back in 2024 for a full bathroom remodel, calling the team's craftsmanship and attention to detail excellent both times. Another described a bigger exterior job — new siding, trim, windows and a dormer, plus interior trim and carpentry — and called Lee's team the best they'd worked with. A porch ceiling replacement review described Lee walking the homeowner through electrical box placement, molding and strapping as he worked, and even a custom-built kitchen table came in exactly to spec. One thing worth noting: the reviews consistently describe working with Lee, while the company's official site names Lindomar De Souza as the owner-operator — it isn't clear from the record whether these are the same person or how the company is structured day to day. Separately, Angi and HomeAdvisor's own listings show conflicting self-reported experience (5 years in one spot, 7+ in another), which the platforms themselves leave unresolved. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active on the state registry. For a deck, porch, bathroom remodel or exterior carpentry job, the reviews point to a detail-oriented, transparent process — worth asking directly who will be your point of contact on the job.

Great work ethic. Job well done at a reasonable price. Will hire them again for future projects.
Excellent Work!
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.
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 was prompt in responding, coming out to give an estimate, and in completing the work. He is also scrupulously honest and professional.
