Verified record
DR. Fix-it, LLC is a Swampscott general contractor whose written record is genuinely old — three reviews on Angi run from 2008 to 2014, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#180687) is expired. The written history splits. In a 2008 review, a customer called the work 'very high end quality remodeling' with a 'professional, skillful & efficient' crew and 'meticulous' attention to detail. A 2014 review described a gutter and flashing repair the crew handled quickly, sending photos before starting, though they left rotted wood and nails behind. A more troubling 2013 account said the owner was pushy, rarely onsite, and went six months without returning to finish a job — with paint already chipping and rust stains left on the railings; the reviewer noted having heard the owner had fallen ill. Angi's own profile self-reports 33 years of experience, Spanish spoken, and a kitchen and bath remodeling focus, and BuildZoom's permit history shows four projects in Revere, Beverly and Peabody between 2007 and 2020 — but neither the expired registration nor the age of the review history supports treating this as a current, active operation. Confirm current licensing and availability directly before hiring.

The Dr. Fixit crew came out quickly after some technical issues in the beginning. They were able to replace the gutter/flashing that had rotted and even sent pictures of it before work began. They did not take the junk (rotten wood, nails) with them however.
The owner was very pushy and he was NOT onsite during the construction to oversee the project. He did not communicate well AT ALL and while I've heard he has fallen ill recently, his business has not gotten back to me for SIX MONTHS in order to come finish the job they started. The paint job has already chipped, the nails were not replaced so there are rust stains on the white railings, etc. etc. etc. I don't believe this company will be in business much longer given the owner's health issues and I wish him all the best, but I would not recommend this company to anyone.
He does very high end quality remodeling; his crew is professional skillful & efficient. He is very knowledgeable about his trade, meticulous to detail and does exceptionally fine workmanship. I'd have no reservations about recommending him to anyone.
