Golden Hands Construction is a Watertown, Massachusetts handyman and repair business run by Lucas Souza, with nine years in business according to its Thumbtack profile. The work described by customers spans finish carpentry, interior painting, drywall repair, furniture assembly, and even an unplanned metalwork job, rather than a single specialty trade. Reviewers from 2022 and 2023 consistently describe punctual, professional work: one homeowner had wainscoting, crown molding, finish woodwork, and mantel trim completed in two days, another had a full day of painting plus drywall replacement and ceiling plaster work on a porch, and a third called on him for an emergency trailer-hinge weld the day before Thanksgiving. On Thumbtack, the business carries a 4.6-star rating across 19 reviews, with 89% five-star. The Thumbtack profile also lists several plumbing service categories — drain repair, pipe repair and installation, water heater installation, and emergency plumbing — alongside the handyman and carpentry work, though none of the on-file customer reviews describe a plumbing job specifically, so it is worth confirming recent plumbing experience directly. This is a good fit for homeowners in the Watertown area who need a versatile pro for a mix of carpentry, painting, and general repair work, particularly smaller or time-sensitive jobs; several reviewers mention using him again for follow-up projects.

Lucas is awesome. He shows up always and on time and has done everything from painting to installing lights, a dishwasher, and fans to building a patio. My only hesitation in writing this review is that I don’t want him to not have time for me.
First off, I have an enclosed car hauler trailer, and as I picked up the second vehicle I noticed the hinge broke off after I loaded. It’s Wednesday and thanksgiving the next day, I had to leave but I ended up staying and contacted everyone in the city. I never thought of contacting thumbtack. One I did Lucas pops up as a Mobile welder and serving all areas. His team came and welded the hinges, checked it multiple times, and kept securing it. Well worth every penny. I’m happy they came and saved me from damaging any vehicle. Thanks again Lucas
Had a few great experiences with Lucas. First he painted my house - was neat, professional and paid attention to detail. He replaced dry wall and plastered the ceiling of my screened in porch and the job was high quality. He repaired and painted my 20’ columns in the front of my house and did a great job. I will be working with Lucas again to replace windows, install a new front door, and replace wood trim with pvc all around the house. I’ve also given his information to several friends and family and will continue to do so. I highly recommend him.
Lucas and his brother so amazing! They do top notch work at a great price. They are extremely trustworthy. They put up Wainscoating, Crown molding, painted, finish woodwork and put molding around my mantel all this work was completed in two days. They work so hard, and they clean after the work is complete! I would give them 10 stars if I could. I will definitely use them in the future.
Lucy’s was awesome. He came and put a bunch of stuff together for me and did an incredible job. I look forward to working with him on future projects.
