About
Hello there! My name is Chris Salvati, and I’m a 32-year-old carpenter and handyman originally from Medford, MA, now living in Wakefield, MA. I’m happily married and the proud father of a beautiful 1-year-old daughter, and everything I do is driven by the values of hard work, honesty, and family. With years of hands-on experience, I specialize in deck building, framing, hanging doors, and drywall installation. I also provide a wide range of handyman services, including painting, repairs, and finishing touches that bring both functionality and beauty to a home. What sets me apart is the care and attention to detail I bring to every project. Whether it’s building a custom deck, framing a new addition, or tackling small but important repairs around your home, my goal is always the same: deliver high-quality work that lasts while making the process smooth and stress-free for you. When you hire me, you’re not just getting a carpenter—you’re getting someone who treats your home like his own, takes pride in every cut, nail, and brush stroke, and understands the importance of building spaces where families can enjoy life together. If you’re looking for a dependable craftsman who values quality, trust, and professionalism, I’d be honored to help bring your vision to life.

I hired Salvati Home Improvements to replace three interior doors in my apartment. I chose Chris based on his excellent reviews here, and I will say—he’s easy to communicate with and has excellent texting skills. He was punctual and initially very responsive. However, I’m sad to say the overall experience was disappointing. Chris leans heavily on texting instead of site visits or calls, which led to some misunderstandings about the scope and expectations. More importantly, the quality of work was poor: uneven painting, rough hinge work, visible hardware gaps, and unfinished edges. In fairness, my apartment has metal, non-standard door frames, which made this job more complex. I think what I needed was a skilled carpenter, but what I got was more of a handyman. One door lock was never installed, and the doors were never fully finished, leaving the job incomplete. I followed up, but got no response. I wouldn’t recommend him for this kind of work, and I will not be hiring him again.

Details: Door • Replacement of portions of existing structure • Residential

Chris was incredibly professional from start to finish. He came to my home to build a TV entertainment unit, and his attention to detail was impressive. Not only did he do a fantastic job, but he also returned to ensure everything was perfect for the final touch-up. I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for quality work, and I will definitely be reaching out to him for future projects.

Details: 2 - 5 hours (A few different projects) • Living room • Walls (inside)
