Arana Contracting is a family-owned and locally operated handyman service based in Everett, Massachusetts. The company says it has served residential customers since 2015 and offers carpentry, drywall and painting, siding, roofing, remodeling, and related home-improvement work; William Arana is identified as its manager on BBB. People who hired Arana describe careful, professional work on kitchen cabinets, ceilings, doors, roofing, cellar doors, and other home repairs. Older reviews from 2020–2024 repeatedly mention punctuality, cleanup, reasonable pricing, and clear communication, while the platform listings show 4.8 stars from 18 ratings. A September 2026 review reports unresolved flooring problems and difficulty getting a response after payment, so recent follow-through deserves particular attention. Arana may fit homeowners seeking a broad handyman or remodeling scope rather than a single narrow trade. Before booking, confirm the written scope, materials, warranty, payment milestones, and how callbacks or workmanship issues will be handled; the available listings state that free estimates and warranties are offered, but do not provide license or insurance details.
He gave me an estimate of $ 800. To do the work and said it might be higher if I have remove the island in the kitchen. He did not have to remove the island, but had to put the Hardwood floor under the kick plate of the island. After completion the last board was raised and not level. Then a few days later 2 other boards raised against each other creating a speed bump scenario. I have several texts requesting him to come look at it. He stated he could come by that night or the next day. I said the morning would be better. Now he has not responded. He is ignoring my text messages. He was professional up until the final payment was made. This repair should not have taken 3 full days.
The job William and his team did for me was phenomenal . They removed old kitchen cabinets, prepared the walls, fixed a few spots, mounted new cabinets, new dishwasher and other items. They were fully equipped, including with an impressive laser measuring device for a perfect measurement accuracy., I very much appreciated Williams daily update on the progress. The project was completed on-time as predicted Michael A.
Will Arana was great to work with with a bunch of home improvements including repairing and painting a ceiling, replacing a dozen drop ceiling panels, replacing a garbage disposal, repairing a handrail and replacing a door handle. All don at reasonable labor rates with me buying my own materials. Will was ver professional and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him to anyone.
My name is Gus and I would like for people to know that William Arana Contracting gives you A+ service. No aspect of the job are performed without the customer being aware of every step along the process. I would definitely recommend his service.
Arana has done two roofing jobs for me about a year apart. On time, polite, efficient, high quality work, fairly priced and excellent clean-up.!
