Frozen shutoff valves, two towel rods into plaster walls, an awkward closet with plumbing behind it: the February 2026 reviews of Common Goal Contracting are a list of small, fiddly household jobs. The business works out of Revere and, by its own description, covers Greater Boston with handyman work, siding, and interior and exterior painting. Twelve Google reviews, all five stars, run from October 2024 to February 2026. Most name Marisa; three of them name Rangel working alongside her. A February 2026 customer had frozen water shutoff valves freed so a new water filter could go in under the kitchen sink, and said the job came in at the price quoted. A January 2026 reviewer said she responded immediately, showed up promptly, and did exactly what she said she would. The heavier work sits in the older reviews. A December 2024 customer described a studio renovated with new insulation, walls, windows, flooring, a bathroom and a woodstove. In March 2025 someone hired them to repaint two rooms and ended up having the whole condo done. An October 2024 review recounts front steps that had been getting dangerous over four winters, handled in two days after two earlier quotes the customer called astronomical. Half of the twelve reviews mention money — quoted up front, competitive, or simply reasonable — so the price conversation should be a straightforward one. Its own site describes a one-person handyman operation now taking smaller projects, while the reviews describe two people on the job, so ask who will be at your house and on which days. For a punch list, a closet, a fence or a couple of rooms to paint, this is a sensible call; the 2024 reviews describe bigger jobs too, so those are worth asking about. Get the quote in writing, and confirm the Massachusetts home improvement registration and insurance before booking a renovation.
Marissa did a great job getting some water shutoff valves unfrozen so they could install a new water filter under my kitchen sink. It was easy to schedule, and we had good communication along the way. Job done successfully at the price quoted and they cleaned up after the job was done! I will be using their services again when needed.
My wife and I hired Marisa to both guide and assist us with installing several small items into the plaster walls in our new home. Marisa was very helpful on all accounts. We were so grateful when all was said and done we had 2 new towel rods installed in our bathroom, a curtain rod in our child's bedroom and more know-how and confidence to do more projects of this kind on our own. Would highly recommend Marisa if you'd like to have a friendly and competent person do those various house projects for you or if you'd like to learn in the process so you can do it on your own in the future.
Marisa outfitted an empty closet for us and we are thrilled with the results. The closet was quirky and in an old home, with plumbing behind the wall. She had great attention to detail and made it super functional. Easy to work with, reasonable prices, and great work! Would highly recommend.
The repair was performed expertly and the price was reasonable. Easy to talk to. Highly recommend!!
Marissa responded immediately to my request, showed up promptly, and did exactly what she said she would. Thank you, Marissa!
