Fix-It Phil is a one-person Massachusetts handyman operation that Thumbtack reviewers from 2023 kept calling for a mix of jobs — a screened porch rebuilt after winter damage, shutters repaired, shower doors installed, siding and window work. In a 2023 review, one homeowner described a damaged porch that Phil rebuilt with what they called an innovative design, drawing compliments from neighbors afterward. Another described emailing about failed shutter work, getting a response within a day and a quote within two. A third called the shower-door install a great job and said Phil was very responsive. Thumbtack shows a 4.3-star average from six ratings, though the breakdown includes one 1-star rating alongside five 5-star ones; the profile lists a background check and OSHA 30 certification, and shows 145 projects. Better Business Bureau lists the business as a non-accredited, one-employee handyman operation and shows no customer rating. The written reviews here are all from 2023, and the two directories disagree on where Phil is based today — Better Business Bureau lists an address in Rowley, Thumbtack lists Quincy — worth confirming both before booking a job like the porch rebuild or shower-door install customers have praised.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Fix-It Phil. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
A day rate replaces the task list — usually the better deal once the list gets long.
Estimated range
$220 – $850
Typical handyman visit around $540
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! Thank you, Phil!!
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. He finished the project before any other contractors could come out to assess. Phil is professional,personable,and affordable also talented. I hight recommend him.…
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. He is very personable, professional, the price was great and in spite of all the rain we had, he finished the porch in just a few days. I wholeheartedly recommend him and will call him again for other projects - thank you so much Phill…
