Boxford Handyman Services Company is a Boxford, MA handyman and carpentry business. On Angi it describes itself as locally owned and operated with over 30 years of industry experience, specializing in handyman and carpentry work. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor licence 112061 is expired on the state registry. In a 2022 review, a customer said Steve replaced the rotting flooring in a horse stall in an old barn. In a 2021 review, a customer said Steve was great on a front door repair job and called him honest, very knowledgeable, efficient and fair. In a 2020 review, a customer said Steve replaced rotted windowsills within two days of being contacted. In another 2020 review, a customer said the railings Steve did were a perfect match. In a 2020 review, a customer described quality work on a porch and on replacing decorative fencing on the flat portion of a roof. In a 2019 review, a customer said Steven arrived on time as scheduled and completed all the tasks on a punch list. In a 2023 review, a customer described the business as easy to work with and responsive and mentioned a small deck repair project. In a 2022 review, a customer who hired Steve for vinyl siding described damage to a new driveway, siding that was poorly cut and not completely attached to the house, and weather stripping cut to a size that no longer fits. The customer said Steve then offered to return the down payment and remove the damaged materials, and later wrote that he had taken the down payment and made no attempt to rectify the situation.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Boxford Handyman Services Company. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
A typical single-level deck is 12×16 — about 200 sq ft.
Estimated range
$7,750 – $14,500
Typical carpentry project around $11,100
Easy to work with and responsive. Handled a small deck repair project.
Very quick to respond and did a great job, would highly recommend!
Steve contacted me about this project stating that he does vinyl siding and upon viewing the job agreed to complete the work. Upon said completion of the job there are several obvious issues including some damage to a new driveway, siding that was poorly cut and not completely attached to the house, and weather stripping that was deemed to be reusable which meant carelessly pried off and cut to a size that no longer fits properly. I contacted Steve with my concerns and he was adamant about having completed the job properly but he soon followed up stating that there were some issues. After agreeing to fix the problems Steve then wanted me to drive to Home Depot to pick up the supplies needed for the repairs before he would come to my home to fix the work. After yet another lengthy conversation Steve finally agreed to pick up the supplies which two hours later led to him texting me wanting to return the down payment for the job and to remove the damaged materials from my house leaving me with more damage. Since then Steve has become passive aggressive on the phone, taken the funds for the down payment, and made no attempt to rectify this situation. Currently I am seeking the assistance of Home Advisor to correct this situation and have the work completed properly.

Steve was wonderful! Skilled, caring, competent and thorough, he replaced the rotting flooring in our horse stall and saved our beautiful Arabian horse from the dangers of aging flooring in our old barn. I recommend him highly (and, heâ s a genuinely nice person, too!)
