Arnold's Home Improvement is a Lynn contractor serving homeowners with exterior work and broader home repairs. Its Thumbtack profile lists general contracting and deck or porch repair, while customer reviews describe roofing, siding, gutters, doors, tile, decks, and other maintenance work. The business's Thumbtack profile says it has been in business for 21 years and lists Arnold's Home Improvement LLC in Lynn, Massachusetts; a separate BBB listing says eight years in business, so the company's history should be confirmed when comparing profiles. Customers have hired the team for a wide range of practical repairs. In recent 2025 and 2026 Thumbtack reviews, homeowners praised quick responses, same-day or next-day arrival, fast wind-damage repairs, gutter cleaning, fence removal, doorway work, and a fair price. Older Google reviews describe a gable-vent replacement, garage-roof work, vinyl siding, kitchen and bathroom tile work, a medicine-cabinet installation, and roof and siding replacement. Two undated Thumbtack reviews also praise a composite deck replacement and rebuilding rotted deck stairs. The feedback is not uniformly positive. Several Google reviews from 2022 through 2025 report concerns about unfinished or defective work, difficulty getting follow-up repairs, a roof-leak visit, a siding problem after wind damage, and a dispute over a snow-removal inquiry. One BBB profile reports a B- grade and says the business was not accredited because it did not respond to one complaint. Those accounts are older than the recent positive Thumbtack reviews, but they are specific enough to discuss before booking. Arnold's may suit a homeowner looking for a responsive generalist for exterior repairs, roofing-related work, decks, or small home-improvement projects. Before agreeing to a larger job, confirm the exact scope, materials and workmanship warranty, who will perform the work, the schedule for return visits, and how follow-up issues are handled. The current Thumbtack listing shows a 4.6 rating from 225 ratings, but the written record includes both strong praise and serious complaints, so a detailed written estimate is especially important.
Cleaned gutters, removed a fence, fixed a doorway, and removed old garage stairs not on the original list, all in about an hour, done quickly and at a fair price. Would hire again.
Responded quickly and came same day for a loose metal panel from wind damage. Secured it right away, reduced price from original quote, and was upfront that it was a temporary fix pending proper replacement. Very responsive, fair, and professional.
House lost a few ridge caps; needed fast repair to prevent water entry. Arnold and team fixed it in 30 minutes — fast, efficient, reasonably priced, professional and kind.
Arnold's came by and replaced by gable vent. I submitted an inquiry midday on Wednesday and they were there Thursday morning at 8AM. Prompt! I would never expect a contractor to be that quick in scheduling but maybe they had an opening. As for the work, I checked in my attic and on the outside of the home. They were at my house at 8am and by 930am they were packing up. Simple job but something that was crossed off my to do list. They accepted checks. Would recommend for similar jobs. Thank You Arnold's
UNRELIABLE!!!!! Then lied on thumbtack and said I canceled. Where in this text thread does it say I canceled? And if I canceled why would I go out of my way to leave a review?! Clearly a dishonest professional and glad I dodged this one. I Inquired about snow removal. I was out of town and have elderly folks living at home, so wanted to make sure they were safe while leaving the house. Arnolds responded by asking me to call. I called immediately, and they agreed to provide the service, stating they would stop by to complete the job. Requested that I text the service address, which I did and they responded okay. Just to never showed up. If you were unable to complete the job, a simple I am unavailable would have allowed me to seek alternative options. Then they preceded to lie and not even extend an apology speaks volumes! I’m sure they will lie in response to this review as well. Just wanted you all to know who you are hiring.
