Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Common Goal Contracting is a Revere-based handyman operation that, per its own site, is run by one person focused on smaller jobs around Greater Boston — though every review that names names describes two people, Marisa and Rangel, working as a team. The range of work described is wide for a handyman outfit. A March 2025 review says a job that started as repainting two rooms grew into repainting an entire condo. A late-2024 review describes something closer to a full renovation — a studio space redone with new insulation, walls, windows, flooring, a bathroom and a woodstove — with the crew helping trim costs along the way to keep it affordable. Other jobs run smaller and more specific: hanging towel rods and a curtain rod into plaster walls, building out an oddly shaped closet in an old house with plumbing hidden behind the wall, replacing kitchen counters and repainting rust-stained metal cabinets, and repairing a front-yard fence that a customer said came out looking new. An October 2024 review stands out for urgency — outdoor steps that had been failing for four winters and were becoming dangerous got fixed in two days, at a price well under two other quotes the homeowner had gotten and couldn't afford. The pattern across the record is responsiveness and fair pricing rather than any single specialty — several reviewers specifically call out reasonable or competitive prices, and more than one says they plan to hire the team again for a different kind of job. Google shows a clean 5★ across 12 ratings, matching what's written. Given the range of work taken on, it's worth confirming upfront whether a given project — especially anything structural — is within what this team handles directly versus subcontracts out. **Strengths:** - Wide-ranging jobs — from fixture installs to full studio renovation - Fast on urgent fixes — dangerous steps repaired in two days - Fair pricing — repeatedly beat competing quotes **Where sources disagree:** - The company's website describes itself as a single-handyperson operation with no owner named, but customer reviews consistently describe two people, Marisa and Rangel, working together on jobs. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - The company's site describes itself as run by a single handyperson focusing on smaller jobs, without naming an owner _(confidence: low)_ - [Official Website](https://www.cogocontracting.com) — “Ownership (self-reported): Written in the first person by a single handyperson who says he serves the Boston area and now focuses on smaller…” - Reviews consistently describe two people, Marisa and Rangel, working together on jobs _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUN3OHVXSThnRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x115b7109e2d4b2e!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgMCw8uWI8gE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Rangel and Marisa are the absolute best.
