# De Mello Charlie J **Trade:** Handyman · **Address:** 63 Acapesket Rd, East Falmouth, MA 02536 · **Phone:** (508) 540-8862 · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.6/5** (low confidence) — from 3 reviews across 2 sources. ## The honest read De Mello Charlie J is a solo handyman working out of East Falmouth, on Cape Cod's south side, taking on the kind of small-to-midsize jobs a homeowner doesn't want to chase down three separate specialists for — trim and molding, closets and shelving, window and door repairs, garage door fixes, and the occasional bathroom refresh. The three reviews on file are all from June 2026 and circle one theme: careful, unhurried craftsmanship. One homeowner hired him for wainscoting in a laundry room and hallway and called the finished carpentry skilled and professional. Another had him retile a bathroom and praised the timely, focused work and how the tile turned out. A third brought him in for wood rot repair and came away calling it thorough, efficient, and fairly priced. There isn't much else to go on yet — no license claims, no stated years in business, and no reviews beyond those three. Thumbtack also lists him under a long menu of standard handyman categories, from dishwasher installation to garbage disposal repair, but nothing in the record yet backs up work in most of them. He's a reasonable call for finish-carpentry-flavored handyman work — trim, built-ins, rot repair — on the Cape; for anything outside what these three jobs describe, it's worth asking directly what he's actually done before booking. **Strengths:** - Finish carpentry — reviewers praise wainscoting and trim work - Bathroom tile work — homeowner called the finished job great - Wood rot repair — thorough, efficient, and reasonably priced ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Performs finish carpentry, including trim and wainscoting installation _(confidence: medium)_ - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ma/east-falmouth/handyman/de-mello-charlie-j/service/580160896027197443) — “Charlie is very skilled, professional and knowledgable about finished carpentry.
