Hands on Duty

Hands On Duty is a Brighton property-maintenance company that's a step up from an informal handyman outfit — its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active on the state registry — and it takes on a wide mix of work: handyman repairs, painting, drywall and plastering, carpentry, electrical and plumbing fixes, HVAC, flooring, roofing and cleaning for homes and businesses. Its stated service area runs from Brighton, Newton, Watertown and Somerville out through Cambridge, Needham, Dedham and Boston. The company also markets handyman franchise opportunities elsewhere in Massachusetts. There's no customer review record here yet — its BuildZoom profile carries no reviews and a score of 0 — so there isn't independent feedback yet to weigh alongside the state's licence verification. Worth a call for the breadth of small-to-mid jobs it's registered to handle, but confirm scope and pricing for your specific job before booking, since there's no track record yet to gauge consistency.
