Helping Hands Handyman Service is a one-person Acushnet operation run by Jay — a generalist whose customers call him for everything from a loose dishwasher to a full bathroom overhaul. Every one of his 15 Google reviews since 2021 is five stars, and Google's own page shows the same 5-star average across 17 ratings. The recurring theme is communication: reviewers keep mentioning that Jay gives clear updates on timing, shows up when he says he will, and cleans up after himself. Recent jobs from 2025 and 2026 span wood flooring installed in a single day, fence gates, a bathroom vanity and ceiling fan install with a kitchen-floor regrout, gutter cleaning, and — in one case — a complete bathroom overhaul that included new flooring, a light fixture swap and a full repaint. Two older reviews, from 2021 and 2022, point to a different skill: Jay also builds custom furniture. In a 2022 review a customer had him sketch and build a set of radiator covers designed to double as furniture, and in a 2021 review another bought a solid-walnut nightstand and called the craftsmanship excellent. For homeowners with a list of small jobs — or an odd request like a built-to-order piece of furniture — Jay's reviews suggest he's worth a call; for anything larger, the usual step of getting a written quote still applies.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Helping Hands Handyman Service. 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.
