Gille's Handyman Inc is a one-man handyman and light-remodeling business working out of Everett, Massachusetts. The owner, who customers call Gil or Gille and whose Thumbtack background check is filed under the name Gilliard Silva, charges $75 an hour with a two-hour minimum and was named a Thumbtack Top Pro for 2025. The work is small-job breadth rather than one trade. Customers writing this spring and summer describe a portable air conditioner installed and properly sealed, a second-floor deck awning reattached to the house with new awning material fitted, molding and baseboards installed, a leaking faucet fixed and a second one replaced, two light fixtures hung, and a bathroom door repaired. The stated service list runs from lighting and fan installation through TV mounting, garbage disposals, switches and outlets, tile, drywall, painting, carpentry, flooring installation and doors and trim. What recurs in the accounts is care about the small things. A customer in March 2026 noted he asked for paint to touch up the ceiling before mounting a new light fixture, and offered to fix cabinet doors he had noticed on his way out. A June 2026 customer specifically appreciated that he kept the cost down by using wood she already had on hand. A May 2026 customer said he arrived exactly on time and checked the AC was sealed and running properly before leaving. An April 2026 customer valued that he diagnosed the problem and set out the options before starting. The ratings are uniformly five-star — 5.0 across 21 ratings on Thumbtack and 5.0 across four on the Angi listing — but the volume is still modest and concentrated in one platform, and the record only really begins in 2025. Angi and HomeAdvisor are the same listing shown twice, and three of the four reviews there are Google reviews republished rather than independent ones. On credentials, both Angi and HomeAdvisor print a Massachusetts trade licence number, 215022, expiring 3 March 2027, but each states plainly that licence and insurance details are self-reported rather than checked. Ask to see that registration and a certificate of insurance directly. For odd jobs, fixture and appliance installs and small carpentry around Everett and the towns next to it, this is a well-reviewed and currently active option.

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.

Absolutely outstanding service from start to finish. He responded quickly, arrived exactly on time, and installed my portable AC perfectly. The work was very clean, professional, and he took the time to make sure everything was sealed correctly and running smoothly before leaving. You can tell he really knows what he's doing. Honest, respectful, and very fair pricing. It's hard to find reliable people like this nowadays. I highly recommend him to anyone needing AC installation or handyman services. I will definitely call him again in the future Details: Less than 2 hours (Simple tasks) • Installation • Bedroom • Windows • Home

Gil was fantastic — he helped me with all the odd projects I had, including fixing a leaking faucet, replacing another faucet entirely, installing two new light fixtures, and even offering to fix some of my cabinet doors that he noticed before he left. He had great attention to detail as well — asking for paint to touch up paint on the ceiling before putting on the new light fixture. Super friendly and helpful, and will be using him again. Highly recommend! Details: 2 - 5 hours (A few different projects) • Repairs • Installation • Bathroom • Kitchen • Bedroom • Plumbing • Lighting • Home
