Josh did an excellent job. Always on time. Worked quickly. Communicated very well and answered all my questions. The quality of his work was outstanding. He made sure the materials were in good condition before accepting them. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and I will absolutely reach out to him for my next project.

Terrific experience. Josh is a good man with a strong work ethic. His construction skills are second to none. We could not be happier with the construction and look of our new trek decks. You get what you pay for, and Josh is worth every penny.

Working Josh was an absolute pleasure, we hired him to take down the old deck and build us a new one. The team did a great job. They were very professional and worked hard so the deck was completed quickly and as scheduled. I highly recommend and will continue to use Josh and his team for future projects.

Consummate professional… Could not be happier! We’d gotten at least four quotes from other contractors, and all others paled in comparison to Josh, in terms of quality and cost. Josh is a serious contractor and really knows his stuff. While assessing our project, he pointed out several structural reinforcement needs that no others had brought up – and which ultimately made for a beautifully solid deck. Josh and his co-contractor, Bob, were well-equipped for the job, even using laser levels to maintain a perfectly level deck (which unfortunately sits on a sloping section of the lawn.) Josh and Bob worked their butts off for 7 ½ days (honestly, I cannot fathom how they had the energy to do the bull-work they did day after day), tidying up the area at the end of each day. Josh was quick to respond to our calls/texts with any questions/concerns we had. While we did experience a couple of hiccups (permit issues, etc.) those are to be expected with projects like this – and did not deter from the schedule or excellence of the finished project. I wish this review site had an option to submit photos – as I would have loved to include the before/during and after process. Highly recommend.

Josh promptly responded to my initial inquiry and quickly came out for a (free) estimate. Out of four carpenters to come for an estimate, he was the only one who actually returned a completed estimate. Luckily, it was very reasonable. He was able to start the project promptly. When an unexpected complication occur (water damage) he was able to fix the problem promptly. He and his crew came to work on time and worked steadily throughout the day. I was amazed at his thoroughness and attention to detail; our deck looks amazing. He was one day over his estimated time frame, but that was just because of the unforeseen water damage. We will definitely be using Josh again in the future.

Josh is a top notch carpenter. From the quote through the finishing of the work everything went exactly as he said it would. Showed up on time for both scoping meetings and the actual work. Did high quality work. Very competitive price. Simply could not ask for more.

Start to finish Josh was at my house early and he was professional, organized, and the stairs came out better than I could have hoped for. My house was built in 1895 which created alot of issues and he overcame each one. I will be using him again for sure and high recommended him.

I submitted a request and Joshua was one of the "Pros" to reply. I spoke to Joshua and provided my address and details as well as submitted photos to his cell as he requested. he then said he would make some phone calls and he uses Builders Supply located in Fall River Mass. He stated that he would call me later that day with pricing. He never replied. I texted him the next morning, no response. I then sent a "?" And still no response. I then texted him stating that I would leave a negative review on Angie's List, low and behold? He called me 30 seconds after that text! He proceeded to threaten me, call me childish names and then he said that he doesn't service Massachusetts! This is after him stating that he buys his material in my city! If you enjoy the runaround, being lied to, work with his company. if you want a real Pro, don't call him.

Response from Joshua Olean Carpentry
We are a small carpentry company that comes out and provides a detailed quote for each job. I spoke with [Member Name Removed] about the jobs he needed done and told him I will get back to him with a quote. The next day I get three text messages demanding I get [Member Name Removed] a quote or he will go on my Angie’s list page or any other site I advertise on and try to ruin my business. I called [Member Name Removed] to explain why I didn’t have his quote ready in less than 24 hrs he exploded on me and starting challenging me to a fight and telling me to drive to his house that I have his address . I’m sorry, but [Member Name Removed] is not the clientele this company is use to working with . This type of behavior is very concerning and we hope all readers understand Joshua Olean Carpentry is a honest business that provide excellent service to his customers.

Outstanding. Our deck is beautiful, better than we could have envisioned. Josh is a very talented carpenter and also an honest and considerate person. When the job was done he went out of his way to make sure the yard was cleaned up and looked the same as before.

I can not recommend Joshua Olean Carpentry more highly. Josh just completed a major renovation of our home. He extended our cape, and removed and rebuilt the second floor. The project included new walls, bathroom, kitchen, siding, roofing, converting the heating system, and everything that goes along with a project that large. From beginning to end Josh was professional, trustworthy and competent. He had great suggestions and did every aspect of the job so that we would love it. He treated our home with the same care he would treat his own. He completed the job ahead of schedule and left our home clean and in move in condition. We were out of state during most of the construction, but Josh sent pictures and stayed in touch. Our neighbors told us constantly what a great guy he was and what a beautiful job he was doing. We had never used Angies List, but needed to find a contractor in a state where we didn't live. After reading Josh's reviews, we gave him a call. Joshua Olean ia a reliable, trustworthy, quality contractor. Because we feel so furtunate to have found Josh, we wanted to share our very positive experience so that other Angies List users could know what a great guy they are getting when they work with Joshua Olean Carpentry.

Joshua Olean Carpentry recently performed a wall build and framing project for me. Josh built a new wall to act as a room divider and framed in a stone foundation wall (2 walls built in total). Josh also managed the painting and trim-work for both walls, and provided oversight on the installation of 6 recessed lights. From start to finish, Josh did a wonderful job and was a complete professional. The services were delivered as quoted and the price was very reasonable for the quality of work. I would absolutely recommend Josh's services to anyone looking for quality contractor work and will use his services again in the future.

I had a great initial meeting with Joshua and he understood my projects. He followed up with a very specific, complete estimate but it was out of of my price range. I suspect that he would have done beautiful work and I think he knows the value of his work.

Josh is an extremely skilled carpenter and builder. He gave us a very good price on the work, help with the selection of windows, and completed the job in the time and per the conditions specified in the contract. There were no glitches during the installation and Josh was prompt in getting to each morning and cleaning up at the end of the day. He also was very professional in handling an issue with one of the windows that was due to a manufacture's defect. I would not hesitate to hire Josh again and would only give him the highest recommendation to anyone else.
