Bulldog started out as a handyman operation, and the paper trail shows exactly when it stopped being one. Anthony Maltacea's Massachusetts Construction Supervisor licence for 1 & 2 family homes, CSFA-106507, is verified active in the state registry — issued in May 2021 and good through May 2028, registered to the Nahant address the business works from under the name Bulldog handyman and construction. The work described by customers moved the same direction. The older half of the record, on Angi between 2018 and 2022, is small-job work: a 2019 customer listed a new door, screens, stair hand rails and a window; another in 2019 had a kitchen faucet swapped, a bathtub control repaired and a front door lock fixed rather than replaced. The word that repeats across those years is on time. One 2019 reviewer, out $300 to a handyman who had walked off, described hiring Tony to tie up the loose ends. Another in 2018 called about crown molding, which he does not do, and got a referral to a carpenter instead of a sales pitch. The newer work is a different scale. A homeowner writing in December 2025 had the entire first floor remodeled — new doors and windows, a bathroom rebuilt with a step-in shower, a laundry closet framed, a new bedroom created, floors refinished and the interior painted. Another that month described an addition plus siding and new windows, crediting the crew with holding its timeline. A third had a front porch redone and new basement stairs, with railing suggestions thrown in. Two things to read carefully. Six of the seven Google reviews landed inside a two-week stretch in December 2025, so a good part of the current picture arrived at once rather than accumulating. And the deep, decade-long Angi history — 30 ratings at 5.0, 97% of them five-star — is largely about handyman-scale jobs, while the projects people now hire him for are full renovations and additions. The Angi profile also states plainly that no warranties are offered and there is no emergency service. For a Nahant or North Shore renovation, this is an owner-run crew with a verified builder's licence, a long trail of customers who say he shows up when he says he will, and repeat clients going back five years and more. Ask for addresses of recent whole-room or addition work specifically, and get the warranty position in writing before you sign.
Bulldog construction remodeled our first floor. They installed new doors, windows, remodeled the bathroom with a step-in shower, built a laundry closet and created a new first floor bedroom space. Floors were refinished and the entire interior was painted. His crews came when expected, and were both polite and professional. Tony was responsive and estimated the job would take two months and it did! Tony and his team did an excellent job and we are very pleased with the results.
Tony and his team redid my front porch and put in new basement stairs at my property. He and his team were in constant communication with me and kept me updated on the process. They were very kind and friendly. He was able to give me some ideas about railings. The workmanship was amazing, and I would definitely hire Tony and his team for a future project.
Highly Recommended!!! Attentive, personable, trustworthy and they came every day to start and complete the job! Tony and Simpson and all of the other professionals are just the type of workers we hoped for. Tony is responsive and knowledgeable and always keeps folks informed and workers coming every day. We have a very old house which had several surprises, but Tony and his team made appropriate adjustments to keep the project on track. We had a second floor full bath and large closet added and an existing bathroom renovated. Inside and outside work was professionally and safely completed on schedule. Great framing, roof and gutters new windows, and beautiful flooring and tile work. His architect did great plans and his crew did great work. His cost estimate was quite accurate too. You can rest easy with Bulldog on the job!
Tony and Simson are reliable, honest, and hard working individuals who will make your home look fantastic. We have worked with them for over 5 years and they have delivered every time.. They are very creative and are adept at turning around old classic builds as well as modern new ones. One thing that sets them apart is the ‘Do it right’ thought process. They will always tell you what’s the best way to create, repair, or fix something and helped us renovate our whole home. Whether it’s your bathroom, roof, walls, or flooring you will be in good hands with them.
Tony and his crew did an addition for me as well as siding and new windows. This is about as dependable a crew as you could ask for and Tony takes his work very seriously and is extraordinarily accountable. The quality of the work is great, they stuck to their timeline and remained very close to the initial budget projections. Very very happy and would recommend to anyone.
