Greater Boston Handyman Services

Greater Boston Handyman Services is a Belmont-based outfit people call for the odd job around the house — a wobbly staircase, a stuck gutter, a wheelchair ramp needed before someone comes home from the hospital. Roger runs it (he also operates Roger's Snow Removal and Landscaping Services LLC out of the same address), covering a wide swath of the region from Cambridge and Somerville down through Quincy and Jamaica Plain. Across Google, Thumbtack, and HomeAdvisor, the reviews tell a fairly consistent story of fast response and careful small-scale work. In 2024, a condo association president credited the crew with a full lobby overhaul on Beacon Hill — rebuilding the wood staircase, repainting the walls and windows, installing new doorways. A 2025 review describes a wheelchair ramp built 'safe, solid, and looks great,' and another from the same year mentions two 48-inch window boxes centered exactly beneath the windows. A 2023 Thumbtack review recalls a punch list finished before a condo sale, 'knocked out in really good time.' One recent account is worth flagging: a June 2026 Google review said an estimate for painting a porch fence — a straightforward job with details given in advance — doubled once the worker arrived, and the project had to be stopped. It stands out against an otherwise steady run of five-star jobs stretching back to 2023. Before booking, get any estimate in writing given that account. It's also worth knowing the business's own site is inconsistent about its history — one line reads 'Serving Since 2019,' another cites 'over 400 handyman jobs since 2023' — so treat any tenure claim as approximate. For homeowners in the Greater Boston area needing a versatile hand for carpentry, gutter work, fixture installs, or a multi-trade fix in a condo building, this is a responsive, well-reviewed option — just confirm the price before the crew arrives.
