Fix-It Phil is a Rowley, Massachusetts carpenter and handyman whose HomeAdvisor and Thumbtack profiles both describe more than 40 years in home improvement work — trim work, drywall, decks, siding and kitchen and bath remodels among the services listed. The five reviews here, all from 2023, point to a range of real jobs rather than one narrow specialty. In one, a homeowner with a shutter problem said Phil answered within a day and had a quote back within two days. In another, a reviewer called him "very responsive" after he installed new shower doors. A September 2023 review praised him for staying in contact throughout the job, showing up on time, and doing exactly what was asked — enough that the customer said they'd call him again. And in a March 2023 review, a homeowner whose storm-damaged screened porch needed replacing credited Phil with an "innovative design" that drew compliments from neighbors. HomeAdvisor rates the company 4.7 stars from 15 ratings, and Thumbtack shows 4.3 from six; Thumbtack also lists him as OSHA 30 certified with a background check. For a remodel or repair job of any size, get a written quote and timeline up front — standard due diligence with any contractor.
Phil was a complete pleasure to work with: he did exactly what we wanted, kept in contact with us, and was punctual and expert in his work. We will be calling him again!! I highly recommend Fix-it Phil--he's a gem and we really appreciate the quality and care he shows in his work!
Phil did a great job installing our shower doors! Very responsive and a great guy
These are good people who show up and do a great job. They can do just about anything from siding to windows to walls and decks and many more. I would highly recommend them to others.
Using Phil is a no brainer. I attempted a project on my home involving shutters but failed so I looked up contractors for help. Phil responded to my email within one day. He came to my home for an assessment and gave me a quote within two days. On the fourth day after emailing him the project was finished and done to profection.
I have a screened porch which got damaged over the winter, and needed to be replaced. Phil came up with the most innovative design - the new porch is beautiful and I have been getting comments and compliments from neighbors and friends.
