Verified record
Holliston Handy is a one-person handyman service run by Cortney Black, a woman working in the trade, covering small home repairs around Holliston — window repair, painting, drywall repair, insulation work, and fixture installations. In a 2022 write-up, Holliston Handy took on a public-library bench restoration: disassembling the old bench, refinishing its cast iron frame, and reassembling it with newly made slats. Worth knowing before calling: Massachusetts records Cortney Black's home improvement contractor registration as expired, with an expiration date of January 30, 2021, and BuildZoom's own record still shows it inactive as of a 2026 check. A fine call for small, hands-on repairs around the house — just confirm the status of any required registration for a larger job before booking.
