A L carpentry and handyman inc

A L Carpentry and Handyman is a one-person shop in Ashland run by Leo G Couto, in business since 2009 by the Better Business Bureau's count. The work spans carpentry and handyman jobs and widens from there: interior and exterior painting, tiling, flooring, decks, finished basements, custom stairs and kitchen and bath remodels. One thing to settle first. The state registry lists the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 176547, as expired, and BuildZoom lists that same number as expired too. Ask where the registration stands before you sign a home improvement contract. On Google the company holds a 5-star rating from one rating. For the smaller jobs — a deck, a tile floor, trim work, a room repainted — this is a local one-man operation you would be hiring directly. Ask whether the registration has been renewed, ask for a current certificate of insurance, and get the scope and the price in writing before anyone starts.
