Handyman Services Small jobs done right by a licensed MA contractor — not a guy from Craigslist.

We price handyman work based on time and materials. Half-day visits (up to 4 hours) are the most common booking — enough time to handle 3-6 items from your list. Full-day visits handle longer lists and are a better per-hour value. Single-item visits are available for focused jobs like TV mounting or grab bar installation. Materials cost is separate and at retail — we don’t mark up parts. Written estimates or phone quotes based on your list.

Yes — we have a minimum visit charge that covers travel time and basic setup. This applies to even the smallest single-item visit. The minimum is equivalent to roughly one hour of work. For most homeowners, bringing a list of 3+ items per visit provides the best value since the trip charge is spread across multiple completed items.

Two reasons: liability and quality. If an unlicensed person is injured at your home, your homeowner’s insurance may be responsible for their medical bills. A licensed contractor carries their own workers’ comp and liability insurance — protecting you. On quality: a licensed contractor does handyman work to the same standard as renovation work because their license is on the line with every job, regardless of size.

We handle basic fixture swaps — faucet replacement, light fixture replacement, outlet and switch plate changes, ceiling fan swaps. These are standard handyman tasks. For anything involving new circuits, panel work, or running new plumbing lines, we coordinate with licensed electricians and plumbers. The distinction: replacing an existing fixture = handyman. Adding new circuits or pipes = licensed tradesperson.

Depends on complexity. Simple items (hanging pictures, replacing outlet covers, tightening cabinet hardware) take 10-15 minutes each — you can get 15-20 done in a half-day. Medium items (drywall patches, faucet replacement, door adjustments) take 30-60 minutes each — 4-6 per half-day. Complex items (TV mounting with wire concealment, multiple grab bar installations, shelf systems) take 1-2 hours each. We estimate time when you send your list.

Either works. If you’ve already bought the faucet, shelf brackets, or light fixture — great, we install what you have. If you haven’t, tell us what you need and we’ll source and bring the materials. Materials are billed at retail cost — we don’t mark them up. For specialty items (specific faucet model, matching cabinet hardware), it’s often better for you to select and purchase to ensure it’s exactly what you want.

Absolutely. Many homeowners discover additional items once the work is underway — “while you’re here, can you also look at this?” If it’s within the remaining time of your visit, we’ll add it. If it extends beyond the scheduled time, we discuss before proceeding so there are no surprises.

Small touch-up painting — yes (patch a hole, prime, paint over it). Full room painting is a separate service with its own pricing because it requires different prep, equipment, and time. If your handyman visit reveals that a room needs full repainting, we can quote that separately during the same visit.

Most handyman visits can be scheduled within the same week — sometimes next-day for urgent items. Grab bar installations for hospital discharge, leak repairs, and security-related items (broken locks, damaged doors) are prioritized for fastest scheduling. Call (508) 925-0396 and let us know if it’s urgent.

Call (508) 925-0396, text us, or submit the online quote form. The best approach: send us your list of items (photos help for things like drywall damage or specific fixtures). We estimate time needed and schedule a visit — usually within the same week. Bring as many items as possible to each visit for best value.
