Gil is the one you call with a list. In a March 2026 review, a homeowner had him fix a leaking faucet, replace a second one and put up two new light fixtures — and before he left he offered to fix some cabinet doors he had noticed himself, and asked for paint so he could touch up the ceiling. Gille's Handyman works out of Everett and bills $75 an hour on Thumbtack with a two-hour minimum. Massachusetts registers home improvement contractor licence 215022 to Gilliard Silva — the Gil or Gille of the reviews — and it is active; Thumbtack completed a background check on him in May 2026. The site says the business has been going six years, doing general repairs, carpentry, painting and kitchen and bathroom work for homes and businesses, and its Angi profile says Spanish is spoken. The jobs customers describe are small and varied. A June 2026 customer had the awning on a second-floor deck reattached to the house, the old cover taken off and new material fitted, at what they called a reasonable cost. Another that month had molding and baseboard installed with wood they already had on hand, which kept the cost down. In May 2026 a portable AC went in, and that customer noted he arrived exactly on time and made sure everything was sealed and running before leaving. An April 2026 reviewer had a bathroom door repair diagnosed and the options laid out beforehand, and a January 2026 Angi reviewer had a pot rack hung on schedule. One thing to know when you compare the star counts: Angi labels three of its four reviews as Google reviews, and the HomeAdvisor page repeats the same four, so those two profiles rest on the same handful of customers rather than eight separate ones. Thumbtack, with 21 ratings, is where the depth sits. Angi also prints an $18,000 cost against that pot-rack review, which does not match the job described, so treat the platform price tags as unreliable. For a punch list — faucets, fixtures, doors, trim, a bathroom repair — this is a straightforward hourly call with an active Massachusetts registration behind it. Walk the whole list with him first and get his hour estimate, because billing starts at that two-hour minimum.
I am writing to provide feedback on the work recently completed by Gille. He was very professional, and the quality of his work was superb. I particularly appreciated that he helped keep costs down by utilizing wood I already had on hand. I am very satisfied with the results and would certainly hire him again for future projects.
