Fancy Finish Carpentry is a family-run handyman and finish-carpentry business based in the Haverhill, MA area. The company says it was started by the current operator's grandfather in 1974 and has been run by three generations of the same family since, with today's Thumbtack account tied to Michael Haritas, who has passed the platform's background check. On Thumbtack, 30 customers have rated the business a perfect 5.0 stars, with every single review five stars. Recent reviews describe drywall repair work done cleanly and promptly: a 2025 review credited the crew with fixing water-damaged, wasp-softened drywall "with attention to detail," a mid-2026 review described a crew returning unprompted to fully clear a lingering water stain from a ceiling patch, and other reviewers from 2025 and 2026 praised the team's professionalism, communication, and reasonable pricing for drywall and finish work. The business's history on Angi tells an older and more mixed story. Ten reviews posted between 2005 and 2007 split sharply between strong praise for prompt estimates and finished carpentry work, and serious complaints: in a 2007 review, a customer described tiles being removed and discarded without a replacement being sourced, two missed appointment nights, spray-painting done without a drop cloth, and a deposit that was never returned; another 2007 review reported a job that was simply never finished, with no refund. That Angi profile is currently marked "under review" and shows no activity since 2007, while the newer Thumbtack profile has been consistently active with fresh, positive reviews through 2026 — worth asking about directly, since the two records don't obviously describe the same working relationship with the same crew. For a straightforward drywall repair, deck, or trim job in the Haverhill/Newburyport area, the current record is strong and recent; anyone considering a larger or higher-stakes carpentry project might reasonably ask how today's crew relates to the earlier complaints before booking.
No complaints. They repaired my dining room ceiling quickly and professionally. When they left, my wife and I noticed that we could still see some of the water stain. They came right back out and put on a few more coats. Water stain is gone completely and it looked like nothing happened. Will definitely use them again and highly recommend them.
Drywall repair turned great! Arrived on time, worked skillfully, and cleaned up nicely before leaving. I was very happy and would use again.
Kyle and John did an amazing job with dry wall repair for us. Their price was unbeatable as well. They are kind and honest people with good skills.
Amazing work! They fixed our window drywall where wasps had built a nest and made it soft. Super quick efficient and great work with attention to detail. Highly recommend fancy finish and would be hiring them again for other house projects!!
Very professional, cleaned up after themselves. Communication was good and they are very generous. Quality of work is 10/10. Very respectful to my dog as well. Highly recommend to anyone that need drywall work done.
