Handyman Services by Mike

Handyman Services by Mike is a one-person handyman operation in Attleboro run by Michael Oberg, whom the Better Business Bureau names as both owner and sole employee. BBB dates the business to 1 January 2013 and files it as a sole proprietorship offering handyman work. The credential picture is the thing to settle first. Massachusetts registered Michael Oberg as a Home Improvement Contractor under number 188274, but the state registry shows that registration expired. BuildZoom records the same number as inactive with a 07-11-2019 expiry, re-checked and still expired in April 2026, and reports that Mass.gov showed the status cancelled at one point. BBB, meanwhile, still carries 188274 as a licence on file, so the directories and the registry do not agree. Anyone hiring should ask directly whether the Home Improvement Contractor registration has been renewed, and confirm it with the state before work starts. There is also no published customer history to weigh: BBB shows no reviews and no complaints, and BuildZoom reports it has received no reviews either. That is not a mark against the workmanship — it means nothing on record tells you how the jobs went. Realistically, this is a call for small owner-done repairs where you are willing to check the registration yourself and ask for references directly, since none are published anywhere.
