All reviews for Alcantara Contractor

Second time using Alcantara and couldn’t be happier. Work is done right, on time, great communication. Will use them again for our next project.

they came by this morning and were very amazing with the job they had done for me and i would highly recommend them for work

Alcantara did an excellent job! Very detail oriented and addressed all issues as the project moved forward. I would highly recommend!

Carlos did a great job. Needed more work than originally planned, but the work still needed to be done. The quality of work is superb.
Would recommend Carlos to everyone.

We worked with Carlos on a full gut renovation. Carlos is very responsive, and he was able to get the job started quickly. The finish is good and his workers are nice too.

This team was absolutely the best. They were proactive in resolving supply chain issues on custom windows. They worked weekends when necessary to hit our deadline and stayed on budget. I highly recommend Carlos and his team!

Just finished their second project on my house which is a historic building. The first project was rebuilding my stairs and the second was rebuilding a balcony. Once they got permits They completed the jobs in record time. Top quality work and very responsive to texts and emails. Hopefully nothing will go wrong with my house for a while, but if it does I will definitely use them again!

Carlos and his team provided exceptional quality at competitive and upfront prices for our porch remodel. We’re very pleased with the craftsmanship and attention to detail. We’ll certainly be looking forward to working with the Alcantara team in the future.

Prompt work, fair pricing, promises and schedule kept with no surprises. We had to replace a water damaged floor and they had great customer service. They delivered exactly what we asked for. Highly recommend for an in-and-out job.

I hired Alcantara to fix to wooden window sills and to rebuild the crumbing bottom under my kitchen sink in which mice where getting in. Everything looks great and I have not seen any mice! They were professional, on time, good communication and a job well done.

Carlos and his team are amazing! We highly recommend him. We have hired him for multiple projects - bathroom renovation, kitchen flooring and backsplash tiles, patio flooring and more to come. These days it is extremely hard to find a trusting, quality, and responsive contractor. We found it in Alcantara! The team has completed our bathroom renovation, kitchen renovation and patio! If you are looking for someone contact Alcantara!

Carlos and his team at Alcantara did a custom build, that involved renovating the basement and creating an entrance to the backyard and first floor. The design ideas from Carlos created a beautiful flow to the first floor and back patio and maximized the basement space for optimal use. His team was skilled, professional and a pleasure to work with. We are very pleased with the renovation and have already recommended Alcantara to neighbors and friends. Thank you!

We are thrilled with our major home renovation in Somerville (kitchen, bathroom, stairwell, playroom + paint/floors for remaining rooms). The Alcantara team are professional, skilled and costs are very reasonable compared to others. They helped with design and were transparent about additional costs. We were especially grateful because the whole team was very conscientious about our 2 young children that were living through the reno.

I truly cannot express how AMAZING Carlos and his crew is and wish that I’d met him two years ago. We were at the tail end of a major renovation that we’d started with another contractor and it was full of all the horror stores that you’d expect; people not showing up, shoddy work, constant delays and more. We’d spoken with a bunch of other builders and had similar results; we were at our wits end and truly wished we’d never started this project that we’d long dreamed of doing.

After reading Carlos’ reviews, I called him, resigned to the fact that this would be another frustrating dead-end and explained the status of our project; he came out the next day and sent two crews of carpenters the day after that. In four days, Carlos did what our previous contractor hadn’t been able to do in fourteen months! He fixed a ton of poorly done work (including a set of winding oak stairs- no small feat!) and finished our project in ways we could not have imagined a week ago. Literally every day, my wife and I would say to ourselves, “is this really happening?!” Our house looks amazing, the craftsmanship is incredible and we couldn’t be happier.

All of his carpenters are excellent to work with, communicate their ideas clearly, and are extremely clean. They offered ideas as to best use the space without adding to the budget and even fixed things I hadn’t noticed were installed wrong by the previous contractor. They showed up on time, did their jobs well and I truly cannot thank them enough. Thank you Marceil, Marcellino and everyone else at Alcantara!

I will literally never hire anyone but Carlos for any building needs and have already referred him to three friends that are looking to do projects ranging from building decks to large interior renovations.

Carlos, you’re a lifesaver!

Alcantara were prompt and thorough when putting up an interior wall in our house. They put extra care to make sure that the work was perfect, matching the existing styling and keeping track of all details down to the last screw. They were friendly and accommodating to our schedules. We would definitely use their services again!

Alcantara removed and replaced our siding and the framing around our windows and doors. We are very happy with their quality of work, professionalism, and fair pricing. I recommend them for any home improvement project. It was a pleasure to work with Ricardo!

We could not be happier with the entire experience working with Carlos and his team on our home renovation! We had always wanted to renovate our attic space and when we found out we were pregnant we knew we had to start ASAP. Carlos came right out to give us a quote and was able to start as soon as we were ready. He even finished a month earlier than anticipated, leaving us plenty of time to nest before baby arrives. His team was incredible and so nice and knowledgeable. They answered every question I had and would make reasonable recommendations to better the space but never pushing to where it was outside our budget. Carlos was super responsive and answered texts right away, always keeping us informed on the status of the project and what was coming up next. Our place looks and feels like a brand new home and we couldn't be happier! We HIGHLY recommend using Alcantara Construction.

Carlos was great! I had a time-sensitive issue and he sent his crew right out. Their dryer vent work was finished neatly.

Carlos was great to work with throughout our project, from the beginning to just walk around the room to the finishing. His crew did a great job, were easy to work with, and showed care for our home throughout the few weeks our project took.

Our project involved partitioning an open attic space into a bedroom and a family room, painting all interior walls of our home, and staining our deck.

Carlos stopped by even on a weekend to take a look at our space, and after some back and forth over precisely what we wanted, we got to a price that we were happy with, including comparing to other quotes we had received.

Carlos and crew also handled the few expected hiccups fairly well. One involved our oak stair treads. After ripping up carpet from the stairs, they replaced the stairs with new oak treads, and they looked great. However, once the stairs were stained towards the end of the project, I realized the bottom stair didn't have a new tread. I texted Carlos a quick message and a photo, and he quickly sent back his crew to install the missing tread and apologized that they missed it. No real problem for me, and he solved it quickly - a great response to the inevitable few issues that might crop up during a job.

Note that we didn't have an extremely tight timeline, which I think was helpful for any construction project, especially in the extremely busy Greater Boston area.

Overall we were really happy with Carlos, and are planning to have him and his crew do more work for us in the future.

When it comes to soundproofing your space, finding the right contractor can make all the difference. We had just purchased a condo in Cambridge and did not realize how loud the upstairs neighbors can be. After extensive research, I decided to hire Alcantara Contractor for soundproofing my home, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. In total we had our living room, kitchen, master bedroom, master bathroom and a hallway soundproofed.

From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, Marcelino demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a commitment to excellence. He took the time to assess my specific needs and provided tailored recommendations to address them effectively.

One aspect that truly stood out was his attention to detail. Marcelino carefully examined the structure of my home and proposed a comprehensive soundproofing plan that covered every potential source of noise intrusion. His knowledge of soundproofing materials and techniques was evident throughout the process.

Moreover, the quality of their workmanship was exceptional. The installation was completed with precision and efficiency, and the results exceeded my expectations. I immediately noticed a significant reduction in noise, creating a more peaceful and comfortable environment indoors.

In addition to technical expertise, Marcelino also demonstrated excellent communication and customer service. The project was completed while we were away on vacation and he kept us informed at every stage of the project, addressing any concerns or questions I had promptly and courteously via the phone.

Overall, my experience with Alcantara Contractor was outstanding, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of soundproofing solutions. Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to customer satisfaction make them a top choice in the industry. Thank you guys for transforming my home into a quieter and more enjoyable space.

Carlos and his crews are the consummate professionals. They are extremely experienced, skilled, hardworking, go above and beyond to ensure the project gets done the right way. Their network is extensive and they consistently got the right people involved at crucial times—usually within a day or two. Very communicative, honest, respectful, and easy to work with. Highly recommended for any job, large to small, repair to luxury finishings. They did a complicated gut Reno and redesign of an old 3-family home in Somerville, and it came out beautifully, and on-budget. Definitely work with them if you can
