Handy Master

Handy Master is a one-person handyman shop on Boston's North Shore, run by Serge Sagesse, who says on his own site that he has 15 years behind him across handyman work, plumbing, furniture assembly, appliance repair, cleaning and pressure washing. The site names Lynn, Swampscott, Marblehead, Salem and Peabody among the towns he covers, and states that one experienced tradesman handles the work personally. His Thumbtack profile carries 5.0 stars from three ratings and 77 projects on file, and lists him as background-checked. The three customers who wrote in late 2022 describe small, specific jobs: one in November praised a hard wood panel installation, another that month said he was helpful trying to fix an oven, and a December customer wrote that he knew what he was doing and finished the job quickly. That suits the kind of work a single tradesman takes on — an install, an assembly, an appliance that quit. Get the scope and the price in writing before he starts, and confirm current licensing and insurance for anything that touches plumbing.
