Keith Alves Carpenter/Builder Services
From Frame to Finish, Projects Built to Last
With decades of hands-on experience, Keith Alves and his team handle every phase of construction—from new builds and additions to detailed finish work. Every project, large or small, gets the same level of care and attention to detail.
Renovations & Additions
If you love your home but need more space or a better layout, I can help you get there. I tie new work into the old so it feels like it was always part of the house, not an afterthought. I listen to what you need, explain your options, and make sure the end result fits your life, your budget, and your style.
Custom Carpentry
This is where the fun is for me. Built ins, closets, wainscoting, bar areas, custom tables, you name it. I enjoy figuring out how to make a space more useful and better looking at the same time. I measure carefully, fit everything tight, and leave you with work that feels solid every time you open a door or set something on a shelf.
Kitchens & Baths
Kitchens and bathrooms get a lot of use, so they need to be built right. I focus on good layout, solid cabinet installation, and clean finishes so the room not only looks good on day one, it still feels good years down the road. I work with you on how you actually use the space so it is practical as well as sharp looking.
Decks & Porches
Out here on the coast, decks and porches take a beating. I build them to handle Cape Ann weather and still feel sturdy under your feet. Whether it is a simple back deck or a three-season porch, I pay attention to framing, flashing, and finishes so you can relax and enjoy the space without worry.
Light Commercial Construction
For offices and small commercial spaces, I understand that you need to keep working while the project moves forward. I plan the job so it is as clean, safe, and efficient as possible. I build out walls, mezzanines, and work areas that make sense for how your business runs so when we are done, the space actually helps you do your job better.
