617-719-4200 Alexis Home Remodeling started few years after the purchase of my first home in Boston back in 1992. This triple decker built in 1906 needed more than just a paint job, it needed reliable, honest and motivated professionals. Many hours of waiting for call backs made me think I could do a better job at it. That's why I treat everyone of my customers as I would have want these no show contractors treat me with the respect and professionalism I deserved. Since 1996, Alexis Home Remodeling has walked home owners from the remodeling concept to the finish product. We are fully licensed and insured.

"Ed is great to work with. This is the second job we’ve hired him for. We wouldn’t work with anyone else. "

iCornerstone offers design through construction services and promotes Consumer Controlled Construction as a solution to over-pricing, under performance, unrealistic allowances, and quality issues. We provide designs, labor and material specifications, accurate project costs, camera monitoring, invoice review, project accounting, and construction support that allow the homeowner to act as the general contractor easily and with a minimal time commitment. The first three carry an hourly rate of $100, while the fourth is 15% of the cost of the work as you have defined it. After a free Initial Consultation, we provide a proposal for the cost of our services. Our platform networks regulators, engineers, subcontractors, service providers, and suppliers involved in your project so that everyone knows what everyone else knows, which is the hallmark of transparency and accountability. Everyone is on the same page. Their E-folios resolve the dilemma of "If only I had known, I would have asked." Everyone benefits, and nothing like the platform exists in the industry. Clients must provide us the names of subcontractors we do not know as a means of proving to themselves we do not steer business or have a conflict of interest. This strategy helps our network grow and ensures fairness. Our free, online, Consumer E-Folio / Project Organizer / Property Profile / Research Tool will help you, even if you do not involve us in your project, comes with no strings attached, and respects your privacy. Simply register at icornerstoneinc.com and have fun using it. We claim three remarkable achievements: no client has ever gone over budget; no subcontractor has ever been overpaid or unpaid without cause; and all clients receive the highest quality at the lowest price.

"Pedro and his team were excellent. They were professional and timely, hard-working and meticulous, and trustworthy. Best of all (at least for me), is that Pedro is VERY responsive and his team is assigned to get your job done and done correctly. They show up on time every day, and were willing to work late into the evening to hit the project milestones. Pedro was 100% clear about the costs, and he made sure I fully understood the areas where the costs were not known or where the costs could possibly change. For example, he said, "If you open up this wall, I'm not sure what we are going to find." I told him to proceed and his team opened up that wall and found that the previous contractor had installed literally zero insulation. Pedro met with me, reviewed what his team had found, went over all of our options, gave me his recommendation, and only proceeded when I completely approved the additional work that would be done and the additional cost entailed. Pedro is a true partner and his team does great work. I cannot recommend them enough. My wife and I have already booked them for another job renovating a first floor porch and creating a roof over the open-air second floor porch."

FAQs for carpentry projects in Dorchester, MA

The average cost to hire a woodworker for a project in your home is around $65 per hour, but hourly rates can range from $35 to $250 or more, depending on the experience and skill of the woodworker. Your total woodworking project cost will depend on the complexity of the work, the type of wood, the number of projects, and any other materials your project requires. You could hire a professional woodworker to create everything from a custom cabinet to ornate, unique staircases.

Generally, general contractors charge between $50 and $150 hourly, though not every contractor charges by the hour. If charging based on the project, you can expect a markup of 10% to 20% of the construction cost. You can expect to pay between $300 and $500 daily if charged by the day.

While city and state laws vary on general contractor licensing requirements, hiring an unlicensed general contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines for your area.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

Every woodworker has different skills and experience, so we recommend asking the following questions when hiring a woodworker for your project:

  • How long have you been in the woodworking industry?

  • What experience do you have with my type of project?

  • Do you have customer references I can speak with?

  • How long do you expect my project to take?

  • What is my recourse if I have an issue with your work?

  • Do you charge hourly or per project?

  • Will you work on-site or in your own workshop?

  • Does your fee include the necessary post-job clean-up?

While they perform similar tasks, a carpenter is responsible for the woodworking that goes into construction—like framing, installing sheathing, and hanging kitchen cabinets—while a woodworker tackles more intricate and custom projects—like building custom furniture and installing wainscoting. Based on these definitions, most woodworkers can tackle the jobs of a carpenter, but you should always ask about your specific project when choosing a woodworker to ensure they have the necessary skills to tackle the job.
