Dimas General Services

Dimas General Services is a Malden, Massachusetts handyman operation run by an owner named Dimas, and the six reviews on file — all written in June and July of 2024 — split into two clear stories: small fixes done well, and one larger job that never got scheduled. On the small-jobs side, a 2024 review described a doorknob and a loose electrical outlet fixed with good communication and a reasonable price, and another from that same week called the pace "so fast and so cleanly" finished. A repeat customer in Stoneham described Dimas converting an ugly garage into a functional workspace and turning a back closet into a private treatment room — the same customer's story shows up again on a related Saugus, MA listing under the name Dimas General Construction, describing more treatment-room conversions plus drywall, ceiling and floor work. The one sour note is specific: a June 2024 review said the contractor agreed to come Friday, didn't show, rescheduled for Saturday, and didn't show then either, calling the experience "Totally UNRELIABLE." That account sits alongside the positive ones from the same week, so it isn't the whole story, but it's a real one worth asking about. Worth knowing before booking: the business appears under two names in two nearby towns — Dimas General Services in Malden on Thumbtack, and Dimas General Construction in Saugus on HomeAdvisor, self-described there as Spanish-speaking with 16 years of experience, though Thumbtack lists the Malden operation at 3 years old. Confirming which entity and address you're actually contracting with is a reasonable first question. For small handyman fixes and room conversions, the reviews on file are largely positive — but given the scheduling complaint and the split identity across platforms, it's worth locking down a firm date in writing and confirming exactly who you're dealing with before work begins.
