House Doctors of Needham

House Doctors of Needham is a locally owned franchise of the national House Doctors handyman brand, which the company says has offered handyman services since 1997, covering carpentry, drywall, painting, and general home repair across Needham, Newton, Brookline, Dedham, and nearby towns. Four of the five HomeAdvisor reviews on file, from 2024 into 2025, describe attentive, well-organized service: one homeowner needed a job split across two visits around a trip out of town and says the crew worked around that schedule and cleaned up before they left; another calls a technician's work detailed and thorough. But the most recent review, from June 2026, tells a very different story — the customer says the phone number provided was disconnected, a job got scheduled without anyone speaking to them first, and they couldn't reach anybody to cancel it. HomeAdvisor's own summary describes that June complaint as a scheduling mix-up, but the review's own wording is more serious than that phrase suggests — worth confirming you can actually reach the company by phone before booking. The 2024-2025 track record here is solid for straightforward handyman work, but given the one account from this year, it's worth calling ahead to confirm the business is responsive and current before scheduling anything.
