Twenty-seven Google reviews, and every one of them is five stars — a streak that, for a business built on decks, roofs, and siding, is hard to shrug off. PLJ Carpentry works Cape Cod's exterior-renovation circuit out of Cohasset, and by its own account founder Paulo started the company after about ten months working in a carpentry shop, growing it from a single van into a roughly 30-employee outfit. The recent jobs read like a pattern, not a fluke. A June deck replacement credited installers Luis and Marco with finishing on time and on budget, the site swept clean every evening. A Provincetown build that same month — no small feat given the town's tight construction season — drew praise for crew members Josue and Joab staying unhurried even with neighbors and other contractors watching. A spring project named project manager Wilson and workers Santos and Alex on a job the homeowner called one of the best construction experiences they'd lived through, and a February balcony-deck replacement got a same-visit fix when the homeowner flagged one small detail. A separate February review on Trustindex describes a deck rebuilt in a week, with a frame problem found and corrected the next day. The company's Massachusetts home-improvement contractor license, number 203444, is currently active. The one thing worth asking about directly: OSHA has cited the company for a serious fall-protection violation, the kind tied to roof and ladder work. It's worth a direct question about current jobsite safety practices before signing anything, particularly for a roof job. For Cape Cod homeowners planning a deck rebuild, a full re-siding, or a roof paired with trim work, PLJ's recent track record backs up the reviews — just confirm the license is still current and ask how they handle fall protection on-site before work begins.

We had a deck replaced recently. Project was completed on time, on budget, and the work was superb. The installers (Luis and Marco) were terrific. Their work was meticulously performed in the anticipated time. After each days work the work site was cleaned nicely and we were able to use the space as they put on the finishing touches. Thanks for the good work.

PLJ was the right contractor to help navigate through the complexities of building in Provincetown. Ptown construction in the spring, came with a built-in daily audience, from neighbors to other contractors, working in the area. Quality and impressive craftsmanship was what I heard from passerby’s on a daily basis. My two talented project contractors, Josue and Joab, took personal pride in their work; which was evident throughout the project. At times the project needed to pivot, either by an additional idea or by simply removing something that wasn’t working, I never felt rushed. PLJ’s goal was to exceed my expectations, not simply race to the finish line. I would absolutely recommend PLJ .

This was one of the best construction projects I've lived through. Starting with Rob Dunphy and the project manager Wilson, and including the two main workers, Santos and Alex, everything was performed beautifully; all details attended to, tremendous professionalism and courteousness. Would hire them again in a second. Well done!

Great experience all around with our balcony deck replacement. Clear communication, project started within a month of signing the contract, and great attention to detail with the work. There was one small detail with the work, and they came and fixed it right away. Would recommend.
