Handiqueers is a handyservice collective in Turners Falls, and a 2026 customer said it rebuilt their basement stairs and worked quickly. The company describes itself as a small team of queer tradespeople taking on small home projects such as drywall, light carpentry, tiling, flooring, painting, decks and steps, clean-outs, power washing and yard work, at $55 to $85 an hour, and says it also runs DIY workshops. A recent customer said a request sent through the online form got a quick response, and that the company fit in the installation of their railings in a reasonable timeframe. A 2025 reviewer wrote that Handiqueers built a deck for them, called it a big project, and said the property was cleaned up after the job. A 2025 customer said it built a shed to keep cordwood in, planning the size, cost, materials and location with them, and that it was willing to clad the shed with rough sawn wood from the property. A 2024 customer hired it to screen in a front porch. A 2025 customer said it spent four days assembling furniture in an apartment building they were staging for work. A 2024 reviewer described one of the largest projects the team had managed, with T managing plumbers, electricians and inspectors. A 2024 customer with a 100-year-old house said they had come back for four or five jobs, and that the company arrived on time with a clear picture of the job, cost and timeframe. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 206045, held by Handiqueers, LLC, is active on the state registry. A 2026 customer described a power-washing job that went wrong: the worker arrived late without a commercial ladder, left with only the bottom of the house cleaned and did not return, and the invoice came to double the original quote. That 2026 customer said the company also tried to charge for gasoline and mileage, and that they paid what they felt was reasonable after a lot of back and forth.
“Maybe look into [Handiqueers](https://www.handiqueers.com/)? I’ve never inquired about their services, but they do post a lot of porch builds on social media.”
“I’d try the handiqueers if you’re in western ma!”
Very grateful for Handiqueers! They were very communicative and professional. Quick response to submitting a request via their online form. Easy to schedule and they were able to fit in the installation of my railings in a reasonable timeframe.
Handiqueers rebuilt our basement stairs for us. They were great at communication, worked quickly, and the finished stairs are perfect! I will be using Handiqueers for all my future projects!!!
had a really terrible experience for a number of reasons. I totally forgot about it until now until I just looked over at my house again and realized I still have to find a contractor to actually do the work that was originally supposed to actually be done by this company. It's just not a good experience all around. I was quoted to have my home power washed. simple right? I sent them pictures ahead of time, and after some back and forth they sent me a quote. I agreed to the quote. It was a bit higher than other companies nearby but I wanted to support my community. On that day, the person showed up late and also didn't even bring a commercial ladder? she had a little tiny step ladder but it didn't exactly do the trick. strange. She proceeds to leave my property with the house only halfway done. She tells me she'll be back. never returns. I get an invoice for double the cost of the original quote. I'm like ummm whaaaat... So you didn't finish the work and now you're invoicing me for double the cost? that's not how this works. so, I finally speak with someone on the phone on behalf of the company to figure out what the heck is going on and they told me that she's not returning, she got very sick and they believe it's because of my house? LOL. and also they let me know that the quote doubled even though only half of the work was done, no negotiations. I tried to reason with them and explain how change orders work etc., To help them understand why this is extremely frustrating for me as a customer. they don't know how to operate change orders. they don't know how to quote it seems... extremely unprofessional. It felt like a bait and switch. It really sucks to have had this experience especially being a queer person myself... I was so excited to work with these folks and then.. womp womp. such a shame. after lots of back and forth and snarkiness and unprofessionalism and arguing , I paid what I felt to be reasonable despite the behavior and the fact that I'm stuck with half of a dirty house because she only power washed the bottom of my house. Yes you read that right. The bottom of my house was beautifully cleaned and white and the top was still covered in debris. so, still an eyesore. It's a shame that it didn't work out with this company because the concept is really beautiful. The execution, not so much. the communication, standard protocol, and the job preparation needs to be worked on. another thing, they tried charging me for a gasoline and also mileage too. seems unethical. anyway, I hope they figured it out since they were last at my house. To this very day, I still never heard from them again. they never called to update me or anything... I genuinely hope they work with a consultant to figure out these issues. And I hope the lady who tried to power wash my house is okay. Good luck with everything.
I hired Handiqueers for a large furniture assembly project. They came and spent 4 days assembling items in an apartment building I was staging for my job. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They were reliable, detail-oriented, accommodating with schedule, and generally a delight to work with. I would highly recommend them for any job!
Great communication, easy to work with, and I was very happy with the quality of the job. Thank you, Handiqueers!
