GLM Home Services Corp is a Boston-area home-improvement and handyman company serving Boston and Maine, with Gustavo and his crew handling repairs, painting, carpentry, remodeling, and related household work. Thumbtack describes a 10-person operation with four years in business, 205 hires, and 272 projects; the profile also lists broad handyman, contracting, remodeling, carpentry, tile, flooring, doors, bathroom, cabinet, and finish-carpentry services.
Customers describe several specific successes. A 2024 Thumbtack reviewer said GLM quickly solved a bathroom mold and moisture issue. In 2023, another homeowner said a handyman patched a basement-ceiling opening around a remediation pipe seamlessly, leaving the ceiling looking new. A 2023 wall-repair review praised efficient patching, reasonable pricing, and the crew purchasing needed materials. Two 2025 Thumbtack reviews praised punctual arrival, prompt communication, thorough work, cleanliness, and going beyond the requested task; one homeowner said a short-notice job was completed in two days and the house was left clean each day.
The written record also includes a serious completion concern. In a 2024 Angi review, a customer said they were still waiting after eight weeks for Gus to return and finish a job involving ordered doors, after changing explanations about the delivery and location of the doors. Angi and HomeAdvisor each show 3.5 stars from three ratings, while Thumbtack shows 4.3 from 104 ratings; the platform mix therefore warrants asking for recent references and a written completion schedule on multi-step work.
The company’s BBB listing shows an A+ grade and lists license number 207606, but that listing alone does not establish current state license status. GLM looks best suited to homeowners seeking hands-on repairs, painting, carpentry, and general handyman work who confirm scope, materials, milestones, and final completion before booking.
