"Moises and his crew were fabulous! Not only did they engage quickly and provide and estimate quickly but they showed up when they said they would and left the work site in better shape than it was when they got here. The work they did to basically redo my front porch was excellent and fairly priced. I would recommend this Pro to anyone looking for carpentry worn on the eastern Massachusetts area. I have already made verbal references citing how great my experience was with Moises Carpentry and Painting!"

"Osmin and his team did a great job replacing our triple-decker back porch. He worked with an architect, that he found, to make sure there were no variances required. This made the permitting process quicker. It was a tricky job because building codes have changed since the porch was first built."

"One of the best contractors I have ever used, and I've used many. Hardest working crew I've ever seen 💪. Quick and efficient, always on time, clear and very reasonable with pricing. I had multiple projects that they handled like true professionals. Had a new front walkway done, 2 trees removed, overgrowth completely removed from around my whole property, took down and removed my old shed, put up new fencing, resurfaced my driveway, and installed a new kitchen floor. I was and am so happy I found them, Usiel and his crew were awesome 👍😎 Some Pictures included, not necessarily in order though and some not shown. If you experience what I did when hiring them, you won't be sorry."

"The crew did an excellent job. Work included removing decaying trim at rook line and replacing it with AZEK trim. This will out last me. The crew cleaned up all the debris and left the work area in good shape. David and his crew were excellent and easy to work with. I'll consider hiring them again when I need carpentry work done."

"Teagan is the most professional and competent carpenter I’ve ever worked with. I went through some others from Home Advisor that were comical in how inept and terrible they were. Plank & Pine is the real deal: Responsive, honest, professional, capable. Very good to deal with. Price was quite fair for the work we needed."

"Rosatto was incredibly helpful on our project for framing and carpentry. He walked through our initial project plan, gave us some new ideas to consider, and even solve a couple of other things unrelated to the project, lending his expertise. W definitely plan to use him for other projects going forward and recommend him highly!"

"Excellent work, well coordinated team, very good plan that efficiently communicated what would be done and was done in the time estimated. The job was repairing wood gutters on a historic Victorian house. I had thought I would have to replace the wood with aluminum but the price and reviews of PR Services convinced me that I could retain the historic character of the house by using them."

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision.
