Eddygeneralservices

Eddygeneralservices is a Somerville handyman outfit that Thumbtack lists at 17 years in business, with 89 projects logged on the platform. Filed here under carpentry, but the actual call sheet skews toward everyday repair work — a stuck faucet, a washer and dryer hookup, a bathroom sink and toilet that quit — closer to a general handyman than a carpentry specialist. The five reviews on file, all from 2019 and 2020, describe a pattern: Eddy shows up fast and gets the job done. One customer says he fixed a leaking outdoor faucet during the same visit and "totally trusted his opinion on the materials." Another, in a 2019 review, describes a routine repair that turned into a full bathroom renovation — Eddy worked around tenants still living in the unit and stayed late to finish on schedule. A third calls his pricing reasonable and says he pitches in alongside his crew to keep jobs moving. Worth knowing before booking: Thumbtack's own rating breakdown puts the profile at 3.6 stars from 14 ratings, and while every review quoted here is positive, the platform's histogram shows 29% of those ratings landed at one star — a share not reflected in the reviews on file. None of the written reviews are recent either; the newest dates to May 2020, so there's no way to speak to how the business runs today. For a same-day fix — plumbing, appliances, doors, windows — this is the kind of pro past customers describe calling back. For anything bigger, it's worth asking for references from more recent jobs.
