Home Prep is Freddie's Worcester-area handyman and property-improvement business, and its website lists minor repairs, cleaning, gutter and yard services, hauling, painting and home-maintenance work. Freddie says he founded it as a solution to poor handyman experiences. A recent Google customer says Freddie has helped with a household task on a weekly basis for some months, and calls him dependable and responsive. A 2026 customer said Freddie was able to come the next day, replaced the weatherstripping and sealed the front and back doors of a house in Auburn. A 2026 reviewer wrote that Freddie weatherstripped both of their sliding doors and gave timely updates through ordering the parts. A 2025 customer said Freddie cleaned the gutters and downspouts the very next day after a last-minute call and sent before and after pictures. A 2025 customer said Home Prep did a fall yard cleanup, and a 2025 customer said Home Prep mounted a TV on the wall. A 2026 customer gave one star for bad service, guessing that a lack of tools was the cause. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 211829, is expired on the state registry, with Freddie Narvaez as the holder of record.
Freddie has helped me with a household task on a weekly basis for some months now over the past year and a half. Working with him has been great! He's dependable, responsive, kind, and professional. He consistently manages to fit me into his schedule, which I really appreciate.
Very bad service from home prep Usually they give good service but guess their lack of tools caused them to do bad this time It was a bad service
I had a 1/2" gap between the door frame and door on both my front and back doors. Standing next to the doors or even 5 feet away it felt like I was outside. We were expecting below freezing temps on Saturday. I looked for someone to help me on Thursday and Freddie from Home Prep was able to come on Friday. He replaced the weatherstripping, sealed the doors properly and now my house in Auburn feels noticeably warmer. No more drafts. The work was done cleanly and correctly and its such a relief to have it handled the right way. I talked to Freddie over the phone and I knew right away that I was comfortable with him being in my house while I had to go to work. Thank you Freddie for doing a great job.
Freddie did a thorough job weatherstripping both of the sliding doors we have. He was responsive along the process giving timely updates ordering the parts all the way to completing the job. Highly recommend!
I believe in supporting local companies and if you need work done this is the business to choose. I called rather very last minute to have my gutters and downspouts cleaned before the snow coming down today. Freddie came and cleaned everything the very next day (which was last Sunday!). He had other things on his plan for that day but he did this so I would feel secure that it was done and done right!! He sent me before and after pictures (even though I didn’t ask for that ) and let me know the job was done!! Thank you for everything!! Everyone - I repeat - if you want a job done professionally and right and with caring this is the company for you!
