Carrera Construction

Carrera Construction is a Lynn, Massachusetts handyman and light-remodeling outfit run by Saul Carrera, who Thumbtack lists as 18 years in business. The work covers a broad range — trim and general carpentry, drywall, tile, door repair and installation, furniture assembly, floor work, interior and exterior painting — and customer reviews also describe actual plumbing repairs. On Thumbtack, Carrera holds a 4.0 rating from 7 ratings and shows 95 projects on the platform. In a 2022 review, a homeowner called Saul "responsive, available, reliable" through a floor color-and-material job and said the finished floors looked "fantastic"; another 2022 review credits him with quickly fixing several household issues. A January 2025 review is more specific: Saul correctly diagnosed a cracked toilet that a previous plumber had misdiagnosed as needing a new wax ring, and the customer called the fix "above and beyond." A December 2024 review calls the work professional and says the customer would hire him again. The one recent complaint worth flagging: a February 2025 review says a bathroom water-pressure repair didn't hold — the pressure was back to low within two days — and that a promised follow-up visit never happened. That's likely the review behind Thumbtack's 14% 1-star share, against a base of only 7 ratings. For smaller handyman, carpentry, and light remodeling jobs around Lynn, Carrera looks like a reasonable call given the background-checked badge and mostly positive multi-year history — just confirm any follow-up visit gets scheduled and actually completed before considering a repair done.
