Rotting trim, decks and the jobs other contractors left half-done: that is the work homeowners describe handing to Haggerty's Home Services. The South Shore carpentry and repair outfit says it is owner-operated by Ray Haggerty, and it holds 4.9 stars from 38 Google ratings. Trim and exterior wood are the backbone. A May 2024 customer had all the rotting wood on a colonial replaced before a paint job, from appearance boards to clapboards, and said it came in under budget. In June 2024, two customers had rotting trim replaced; one also had four windows swapped and said the quote was almost spot on. Decks come up again and again: an April 2024 deck build finished on time despite unforeseen rot, skirting added in September 2023 and June 2025, and a July 2025 deck repair. Several customers hired Haggerty's to clean up after someone else. In October 2023, a customer whose general contractor lost his license mid-addition said Ray and David finished all the exterior work in two and a half weeks. An October 2025 customer had exterior doors reinstalled and the first company's problems fixed, and a March 2026 homeowner said basement stairs were finished less than a week after the first meeting. Smaller urgent calls get the same attention. In a March 2026 review, a customer whose gable vents were damaged by an animal said Ray put temporary screening up the next morning and installed new vents within a week. February 2026 reviewers credited the crew with clearing snow and ice dams off their roofs, and a March 2024 customer had a leak-damaged plaster ceiling replaced and matched within about a week.

Great communication and solid worker. Would recommend for any home services that may be needed.
We had an animal trying to get into our gable vents during the night causing damage involving replacing both vents. We called Rlay the following morning and he came to the house that morning put temporary screening over the vents. He installed the new ones in a week and added a layer of heavy screening on them. He was easy to work with, very pleasant and workmanship was great. We would highly recommend him.
Deserves all 5 stars! We hired Ray to help finish our basement stairs after finishing a recent addition (done by someone else), and he was amazing. It was less than a week from our first meeting to the job being competed, which is just unheard of! His work was clean and precise and he was so responsive from the initial contact. I’m looking forward to working with him in the future!
Ray and his team did an amazing job clearing off my roof of snow and taking care of the ice caps on my roof. I would highly recommend him for any service! He’s very reliable and honest.
I had a major issue with ice dams from the last storm. Ray and his team did an amazing job in the harsh weather conditions. very professional, arrived promptly on time, and went straight to work efficiently and effectively. Highly recommended!
