David's Handyman Service

David's Handyman Service is a one-man operation out of Malden, run by David Carucci, who says he's been doing home repair and remodeling since before he was 15 and later served as an Electrician's Mate in the U.S. Navy — today, he says, with 43 years of experience. Both Angi and HomeAdvisor list the business as veteran-owned, and his own profile names electrical and plumbing as his specialties, alongside general handyman jobs and TV mounting. The written record is thin but consistent — and dated: the five reviews on file, quoted identically on both Angi and HomeAdvisor, all run from April through September of 2017, averaging 4.7 stars. In them, customers describe him as punctual and thorough — one 2017 reviewer called his rates 'very reasonable' and said they'd already rehired him for more work; another needed a job finished ahead of a deadline and said he was the only one who could get it done in time. The one blemish is a 2017 review rating him 3 stars for showing up late, though the same customer said he was efficient once there and fixed all the minor problems. Worth asking about before booking: his own profile states plainly that he holds no contractor license of any kind, doing the work at handyman rates rather than as a licensed tradesman — worth confirming what that means for the specific job, especially anything electrical or plumbing that might call for a licensed pro depending on scope. For small, mixed jobs — electrical fixes, plumbing repairs, mounting a TV, odds and ends around the house — the reviews on file describe someone reliable and fairly priced, even if that record is now several years old. Confirm current availability and, for anything code-sensitive, ask directly about licensing before he starts.
