Handyman Tom Brayer

The current Google profile shows a 4.6 average from 71 reviews, not 72 five-star ratings. A captured Google rating line in the supplied material instead says five stars from 72 ratings, so that count and headline need a live-source check before anyone treats them as matching. The broader review history runs from 2021 to 2026 across four sources, and recent comments remain strongly favorable. Tom Brayer runs a one-person handyman business in Duxbury, serving nearby South Shore and Plymouth County towns, according to his website. He says he started the business after 25 years at Harpoon Brewery, following repair work for a real-estate client; no start year is given. The Massachusetts HIC registration 199978 is active, with Handyman Tom Brayer LLC named as its holder. Customers call him for the sprawling to-do list: doors, trim, drywall, porch and deck repairs, screens, lighting, and small household fixes. Recent Google reviews describe exterior carpentry and finish trim, while an October 2025 reviewer recounted a basement punch list and a home-gym feature wall. A June 2026 customer praised his exterior carpentry and said they would hire him again. Older reviews add examples such as a repaired deck and reinforced framing in 2023, and a difficult door fit in 2022; those are useful illustrations of past work, not promises about current availability. Across these accounts, responsiveness, clear communication, careful workmanship, and practical problem-solving recur more than one narrow specialty. Before booking, confirm that the specific project fits his schedule and ask for the scope and estimate in writing; one 2022 customer appreciated being told that availability was several months out. He looks like a fit for homeowners who want one capable person to work through repairs and maintenance across several parts of a house. For a larger remodel or a regulated trade job, clarify who handles any work outside his handyman scope and confirm the project details directly.
