Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from J HANDY 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.

Paul did an amazing job renovating my half bath. I’m very happy with the quality of his work, attention to detail, and communication throughout the project. I’ll definitely hire him again for future projects and highly recommend him to others.
Paul is a great handyman.. I had a few specific odd jobs to tackle and Paul recommended a better way to repair one of my items on the list! Went to work immediately, did a fantastic job of fixing my antique bedframe; Was very fast in hanging my large tapestry, and was very concerned and conscientious that he didn’t leave any nails lying around for my kitty to get a hold of.. I highly recommend Paul for any of your jobs that you need accomplished.
Paul did a fantastic job hanging my wall art. He was precise but also incorporated my opinion. He showed up on time and worked fast. 10/10. Thank you!
Paul did a phenomenal job with my Lego display project idea. He came prepared with all of the necessary tools (including dry wall anchors) for the job. He took great care in measuring and being precise with his placement of my frames. He even went the extra mile to ensure that my car collection actually fit the frames appropriately! Exemplary professionalism and customer service. I recommend him without reservation! Sorry pictures taken at different times of the day!
Paul was great to work with - responsive all the way through, did excellent work with clear attention to detail, and worked efficiently. He was not deterred by the task of hanging a heavy mirror on the wall of a 130+ year old building with horsehair plaster and no studs to be found. Would not hesitate to hire him again and highly recommend him!
