Haggerty Home Improvement is a one-person handyman operation in Hanover run by Dan Haggerty, called on for the kind of job that doesn't fit neatly into one trade — a stuck toilet, a replaced windowsill, a ceiling fan swapped out for hanging yoga silks rated to 800 pounds, a run of holiday lights, a batch of window screens. The thing that keeps showing up across reviews going back to 2022 is speed: people describe calling on a Thursday and having an estimate done Friday, the job finished Saturday; one homeowner needed a repair fixed the day before a house closing and had Dan out and done within 24 hours; another had 21 screens replaced within a week of asking. Across Google, HomeAdvisor and Angi, reviewers keep returning to the same few points — he shows up on time, explains the fix, and cleans up completely before he leaves. A 2025 Google review specifically called his prices reasonable. Twenty-six reviews run from 2022 through 2026, all but one of them five stars — the lone four-star entry ("Polite") carries no complaint behind it — and two of the twenty-six landed in the past six months, both positive, so this isn't only a historical pattern. Angi and HomeAdvisor mirror the same 22-review set rather than two independent takes, so count the two platforms as one shared history rather than double corroboration; the separate Google reviews tell the same story on their own. Nothing on file states a license number, a BBB grade, or how long Haggerty has been in business, so there's nothing to check on those fronts before booking — worth asking directly about insurance and getting a written estimate for anything bigger than a quick repair, since the reviews describe quotes given on the spot rather than a formal contract process. For the kind of scattered to-do-list job — a stuck door, a broken fixture, a small install — that a bigger remodeling outfit won't take on, this is the call; for anything closer to a full room renovation, it isn't.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Haggerty Home Improvement. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
A day rate replaces the task list — usually the better deal once the list gets long.

Dan was great. Very communicative and responsive. Would highly recommend!
Had a great experience with Haggerty. Promot, responsive, professional! Job well done!
Dan was great! He was efficient and resourceful in problem solving the many items on my to do list - including fixing a toilet with hard to find parts others had wanted to replace. His prices are reasonable and his work is excellent. Highly recommend.
Dan did a phenomenal job getting all projects completed in a timely and professional manner. He was a pleasure to work with from start to finish.
I needed a handyman to do a job quickly because I have the closing for my house, and suddenly had a problem. Dan Haggerty came the day after I talked to him and he did a great job on my project. He arrived exactly on time, did great work and totally cleaned up. I would definitely recommend Dan Haggerty!
