In a March 2025 review, a homeowner described Jay resurfacing peeling drywall above their shower. He explained the process during his first visit, then followed through over the next three days: scraping, skim coating, oil priming and painting the entire bathroom ceiling so it blended. The customer said Jay left the bathroom spotless after sanding and responded promptly to messages. Jay's Improvements describes itself as a family-owned, locally operated handyman and home-improvement business serving Natick and nearby areas. The company claims more than 35 years of experience and offers free estimates. BBB lists it as a Natick sole-proprietor handyman with an A grade. Angi lists free estimates and no emergency service. A customer writing on Angi in February 2025 described Jay installing an electric vented dryer and cleaning out its vent. The customer praised his knowledge and cleanup and said they would hire him again. In an August 2024 review, a homeowner said Jay had handled a variety of jobs around the house and praised the quality of the work. A November 2023 Angi reviewer praised his craftsmanship and described his prices as reasonable. An older customer, writing in December 2014, said Jay returned their call promptly, visited to assess an assortment of household repairs and provided a quote they preferred to those from other local contractors. In a March 2026 review, another customer praised his work and said they planned to hire him again. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration 171962 is expired. The website describes the business as licensed, while the state registry identifies that registration as expired.
Jay is professional and does great work. I plan to hire him again.
Jay did a professional job resurfacing the drywall above our shower that has been peeling persistently. He took the time to explain the process during his first visit, then followed through over the next three days - scrape, skim coat, oil prime, final painting of entire bathroom ceiling so it all blended. Jay left the bathroom spotless despite what I know was a lot of dust after he sanded the spackle. We will be calling on Jay for multiple projects around our home, including electrical, other drywall repair, and painting. Jay is very prompt in responding to messages and is a very personable presence. Don’t hesitate to have Jay come over and do some work on your house!
Jay installed our electric vented dryer. He did a fabulous job. He also cleaned out our vent. He was friendly, knowledgeable and cleaned up. We will definitely hire him again for other jobs.
Jay was a life saver for us! anybody who’s getting the house ready for sale MUST call him. His work is amazing and so perfect. He’s super smart and conscientious- a combo hard to beat.
Jay was very professional, prompt and efficient. I'd hire him again without question.
