Verified record
Cambridge Handyman Services is a Cambridge shop with a short, mixed record on Google — a 3.8-star average from ten ratings. The positive reviews describe quick response, professional and prompt handypeople, and fair pricing: an October 2022 review praised courteous, efficient repairs at a fair price, and another from the same month called out a friendly service fee. Two written reviews raise real concerns about follow-through. In an April 2022 review, a customer said a ceiling light was fixed well but a cabinet hinge repair was left unfinished after the team promised to return with a part and then stopped responding for three days. In an August 2021 review, a customer described being routed through a third-party subcontractor for a handyman appointment that no one showed up to, with slow communication trying to sort it out. Worth asking directly: whether a job will be handled by their own crew or subcontracted out, and getting a firm callback commitment if a follow-up visit is needed.

Cambridge Handyman Services - Thank you! What I really love about this company was not only their quick response but by how professional and prompt their handypersons are.. Plus! Their service fee is so friendly! Thank you!
We strongly recommend Cambridge Handyman Services for the handyman work in our home.. They were in our house two days ago and did a number of repairs.. The service was courteous and efficient, and the price was absolutely fair..
I needed a cabinet hinge repaired and a ceiling light fixed. the light was fixed perfectly. The hinge, which is tricky, proved more challenging. The team said they'd come back the next day with a new hinge and they never showed. When I called - over three days - they never responded. I have now given up. Their work may be good, but their follow-through and responsibility is lacking.
I called Cambridge Handyman Services to get a handyman. They called a third party company and we scheduled an appointment. The day of the appointment no one showed up. After almost 1 hour I called the third party company complaining and I was told that I would have received a call back shortly to know a time. After almost 2 hours and no call received and no one showing up, I decided to call Cambridge Handyman Services directly to have someone else, but the guy was not very responsive and told me that he was calling the third party company again and getting back to me. After 5 minutes I received a message (not a call) from the third party company saying that I needed to find someone else. I called the Cambridge Handyman Services once again and the guy was just unable to give me any answer. He just stayed silent on the phone. I did not even receive a "sorry" or else. I lost lots of precious time. This company is completely unable to do the job they are claiming they do. They are unable to solve issues as they arise. Don't waste your time with this company.
