- Reliability concerns — a 2026 review calls him unreliable and untrustworthy
Handyman Al is a West Newton-based, owner-operated handyman self-reporting 25 years in the trade, covering carpentry, electrical work, CCTV installation, bathroom remodels, and home conversions. The only written review on file is recent, from May 2026: based on two separate jobs, the customer found him skilled but called him unreliable and untrustworthy, and said she would not recommend him. Google's own aggregate sits at 3.7★ from three ratings, but there's no other written account here to weigh against that one review. With just one detailed account on file, and a critical one, it's worth asking for references and confirming scheduling commitments in writing before booking.

Based on two experiences, I would NOT recommend this handyman. I found him to be skilled, yet unreliable and untrustworthy.

Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Handyman Al. 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.

$220 – $850
Typical handyman visit around $540
