All Chores Considered

All Chores Considered is a Norwood-area concierge outfit — the kind of business you call for cleaning, small repairs, yard work, or a hand with an aging parent, all under one number. The company says founder Kandi Finch started it in October 2013 after juggling care for two elderly parents alongside a full-time career, and it states it covers Norwood, Quincy and Westwood. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and the reviews on file don't paint a single clear picture. A 2024 review called the company quick to respond and professional. But two 1-star reviews tell a rougher story: in a 2026 review, a customer said the cleaner skipped the toilet entirely and used offensive language with no apology when it was raised; in a 2023 review, a customer described a bathroom remodel where the crew used the wrong thickness of cement board, leaving gaps at the ceiling and unpatched holes, with follow-up from the owner stalling for weeks. Before booking, it's worth pinning down who's actually doing the work and getting a clear scope in writing for anything beyond routine chores — the complaints on file are specific to a cleaning visit and a bathroom job, not vague dissatisfaction. For simple, recurring help around the house — a cleaning schedule, yard work, errands — the company's own pitch matches what it's actually reviewed for. For a real remodel, get more than one estimate, confirm materials in writing, and nail down a point of contact before signing on.
