He has a sense of humor but is very professional and does excellent work, a rare commodity with contractors. We've hired people in the past and there was always something they either couldn't fix or didn't know how to. LJR came to the rescue! We'll definitely be calling them back, they're now our go to handymen!!

We needed a new porch for our 1920's colonial. Mike from LJR met with us, analyzed the situation in…read moredetail, and gave us well-explained options regarding materials, timelines and aesthetics. Friendly, professional, and efficient, Mike and his crew gave us a result that was even better than we expected. As a favor to us, he also recommended an electrician for a separate issue and we were completely pleased with his work, too. Most importantly, we are very happy with our new porch, recommend LJR highly, and would happily work with them again on any project!

We hired Boston Framers to rebuild our front porch and flowerbed wall and they did an absolutely…read morebeautiful job. Great communication throughout the process, and the workers were so polite and respectful. They cleaned everything up at the end of each day and were lovely to have around. But most of all we now have a very pretty porch where the crumbling concrete monstrosity that came with our house once loomed. I highly recommend.

Brutal experience with them back in 2022-2024. Would take weeks and, more than once, even months…read moreto get them to come back and do any work (see screenshots of my text interactions with them -- note the dates). They were supposed to build a new rubber roof. It started leaking on 3 separate occasions (which btw was never fully fixed -- we moved on to different contractors who did address the issues). And like I said, it would take months for them to actually come back and attempt to fix anything. Often they'd come by, look at the damage, then I wouldn't hear from them for multiple weeks. Meanwhile, more damage continues to accrue to the walls and ceilings. The internal fixes they applied for the water damage were just patch jobs. They just plastered and painted over. Meanwhile, the insulation behind the wall was soaked and accrued black mold that we had to address later. Also worth pointing out a major blunder at the beginning of the project (see attached videos and pics). They opened up the roof, and left it open for multiple days without doing any work. Well of course a major rainstorm came by (which was on the weather forecast well in advance). Alll that water poured into the house in the middle of the night setting off fire alarms. It was a nightmare to deal with on my end.

Mr. Handyman in Peabody sent Ed out to look at my front storm door, which was sagging on its…read morehinges, wouldn't latch shut, and had been bent and battered by the wind. Ed explained that I needed a new door, which I expected. He measured, went out to the store and bought a comparable new storm door, installed it, and did a great job. Cleaned everything up after, and the new door is better than it ever was. I'd definitely use Mr. Handyman again!

Paul helped us remove a stuck broken dishwasher without destroying our island, something the…read more"professional installers" could not seem to do. While this work did not involve a lot of carpentry, I'll share that Paul was: - Incredibly responsive. He answered my call asap and came the next day to help as planned. - Persistent. This thing was really stuck and Paul would not give up. He got it out after an incredible amount of work. - Courteous. Paul cleaned up everything after the job very thoroughly. - Went the extra mile. Paul noticed that we were missing a plug on our disposal so he drove to the hardware store, bought one, and came back to install it, saving me the trouble. All of this speaks to Paul's character and work ethic. Should I have any carpentry work, I would not hesitate to call Paul. In fact, now that I have his number, I'm dreaming up carpentry jobs!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Alcantara Contractor to replace our built in…read morecooktop in Medford this summer! Given our unique set up, I reached about to Carlos for guidance on replacing this appliance and he was able to help us in both the planning and execution of this small kitchen project. His expert team was able to get this installation done in a day, even when it required more work than we originally planned. Throughout the process he was highly professional, communicated with me regularly, and made me feel at ease. I would highly recommend Carlos & Alcantara Contractor for any general contracting needs!

Had a fantastic experience working with Alcantara! Marcelino was a great GC who was always upfront…read moreand informative about the tasks at hand. We were so impressed with their services that we asked to work with them for some additional work after the initial project was completed. The project involved redoing our kitchen and bathroom. We used a 3rd party to design and purchase the items through them and relied on Marcelino and his team to demo and install the new fixtures, cabinets and appliances! Although there were hiccups along the way (something to expect when it comes to any renovation work), Marcelino ensured that issues were had were addressed promptly. Marcelino was upfront during our initial walkthrough quote and gave an accurate timeframe when the project could be completed. The second phase involved the installation of some recessed lights which was completed within 1-2 weeks. Very happy with the results! There were some minor issues after the project's completion but after mentioning these concerns Marcelino had his team stop by our place with a very quick turnaround time to address our concerns. Overall Marcelino and his team were professional and respectful of our property (made sure to cover our exposed furniture during the painting/demolition phases). Their price was also reasonable for the Boston area. I would strongly recommend Alcantara for any renovation projects you may have! We would use them again for any future projects we may have planned.

What a miserable experience. Pete was never on time, and cancelled last minute constantly whenever…read morehe was supposed to come and complete work usually while other workers were already at our house waiting for him (which we still had to pay for there time). He took thousands of dollars from us for a deposit and then said that our project would be delayed because he needed to move shops. He had already demoed our living room at that point which left us staring at a gaping hole in our living room for months. He would say that we were the next project in line and then would tell our designer that he had five projects ahead of us. He strung us along for months until we finally fired him. We had to go to court to secure some resemblance of our deposit back because he refused to give any of it back. There are so many other carpenters that do a far better job in half the time for half the price.
