Verified record
D & P Handyman and Construction Svcs is a privately owned handyman and construction business based at 38 Shaw St in Quincy, Massachusetts, run by Paul and Dave, offering handyman work along with doors, plumbing, roofing, siding, and electrical services. In reviews from 2017 to 2019, homeowners repeatedly praised Paul and Dave for punctuality, professionalism, and clean, well-finished work on projects like deck building, tile work, bathroom updates, and painting, with several reviewers saying they planned to hire the pair again for future jobs. A few reviews raise things worth asking about directly: a 2019 review described a job that was rushed into a single day with a disputed price increase and an unfinished result, a 2017 review felt overcharged despite being pleased with the pace and quality of the work, and a March 2019 review claiming leftover construction debris was met by the company saying it has no record of that customer. Overall the written record is heavily positive across two directory platforms, with detailed, specific praise for the two owners' craftsmanship outweighing the handful of pricing and service disputes.

Initially was told multiple day job, day of job showed up at 3pm and stayed till 9:00pm. No idea why initial plan changed. Also, the owner who looked at job didn’t do one thing or inspect after. It looks terrible and I’m going to have to redo. I paid this guy just so I could get him out of my house. I would never recommend this company to anyone that wants a finished product done correctly. I wouldn’t have been so upset if price was reasonable, but $875 for about 6 hours of labor seems especially high. This was made extra evident when the worker who was here kept saying he didn’t know why this two day job was being rushed to one day. When I called to ask about why things changed and why price was so high for a rush job I was told “should have handled that before signing contract”.
Paul clearly explained the scope of work that needed to be done. It was more than I’d planned but I am pleased with the outcome. It started pretty much on time and progressed steadily to completion over two weeks. They were always courteous and professional. They focused on doing the job correctly which I appreciated.
