Dean's Handyman is a small Boston operation with a thin, mixed written record — four reviews between 2021 and 2023, evenly split in tone. Google shows a broader 4.7-star average from 14 ratings, but the detailed accounts on file tell two different stories about hiring Dean. On the positive side, a 2023 review describes several appliances installed in a few hours at a price well under a big-box store's installation quote, and separate 2023 and 2021 reviews each describe bathroom and sink jobs completed within budget and on schedule. The more serious account is a 2023 review describing a $300 deposit paid up front for a toilet installation — after the contractor asked for it, saying he didn't want to be left unpaid — followed by a missed rescheduled appointment, over a week of unanswered messages, and no refund by the time the review was posted. With only a handful of written accounts on file, this is one to vet carefully before handing over any money up front — ask for a clear timeline and be cautious about paying a deposit before work begins.
