Verified record
General Residential Services, Inc — also known as G.R.S. — is a Wayland handyman business Jeff McLeod has run since 2005, according to its BBB file (Angi's own page puts the start a bit later, in 2007). It carries an A+ BBB rating and, across Google, HomeAdvisor and Angi, every review on record is five stars. The written record itself runs mostly from 2016-2017: in a 2016 Angi review, one homeowner who has lived in their home more than 50 years and become disabled called Jeff 'a joy to work with,' saying he'd never left them unhappy with a result; another 2016 Angi review described using GRS repeatedly as their go-to for general handyman work, calling the team professional, friendly and accommodating. A more recent Google review, from 2023, praised the crew for showing up on time to job sites. Its services lean toward the classic handyman mix — HomeAdvisor and Angi list electrical work like wiring and panel upgrades alongside general handyman service, while BBB adds painting, carpentry, windows and landscaping maintenance, and Porch mentions regrouting, recessed lighting and roofing repairs. It's a two-employee operation, so expect a small, hands-on crew rather than a large remodeling outfit.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from General Residential Services, Inc. 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.

We have had a great experience working with GRS. They meet our folks on time on sites and we appreciate that!
Excellent.
We have used General Residential Services a lot and they are always the first we are in touch with when we need general handyman services. Very professional, friendly and willing to go out their way to be accommodating.
I find Jeff a joy to work with. He has never left me unhappy with a result. I care about my home and have lived their over 50 years and have become disabled. I feel very fortunate to have found him.
