JMR Handyman Service

JMR Handyman Service is Tony Ferrao — one man, one truck, twelve years of it. The LLC was incorporated in March 2014 and works out of 9 Bartlet Street in Andover, and the BBB lists exactly one employee. The job list is the property-maintenance spread rather than a single trade: carpentry, drywall, painting, tile and grout, deck repair, windows and screens, cabinet installation, fixture replacement, retaining walls, and plumbing work. That is punch-list territory — the accumulated small jobs a house needs, done by the same person each time. The honest limitation is that no customer has said anything on the record. Its BBB page carries an A+ grade but no reviews and no complaint count, and JMR is explicitly not BBB accredited — the company has not sought accreditation, which is a choice, not a black mark. There is no third-party review history anywhere to weigh, so ask for two or three references from recent Andover-area jobs and call them. A reasonable call for a homeowner with a list of small repairs who wants one dependable person rather than several contractors. Before booking, get the scope in writing, confirm insurance, and — if any of the work runs to plumbing or a structural deck rebuild — ask which pieces he does himself and which he subs to a licensed trade.
