Verified record
John Greco Handyman Services is a Hingham-based painting and handyman operation with a written review record running from October 2018 to December 2019, roughly 3.8 stars across Angi and HomeAdvisor. Both directories describe it as locally owned, with about nine years of experience and interior painting as a listed specialty alongside general handyman work. The most detailed account, from a December 2019 review, describes a large basement painting job — sanding, priming and multiple coats on newly finished walls, trim and plaster — done tidily and billed hourly plus materials rather than a flat project price. The same period's reviews describe him as conscientious, knowledgeable and meticulous, with one reviewer who says he's known him for years recommending him without hesitation. A separate 2019 review describes him hanging an outdoor tree light on request and showing up as promised. Not every account is positive: a November 2018 review, rated 0.5 stars, says he was "ill prepared" and that the reviewer would not hire him again, and a December 2018 review for a leaf-removal job scored only 2 stars without explaining why. The written record here is a few years old rather than current, so it's worth confirming his availability and current approach directly before booking — the painting work on file, in particular, was thorough and well-reviewed.

A day rate replaces the task list — usually the better deal once the list gets long.

John was a big help when we needed to light a big tree outside. He came when he said he would and went above and beyond. Would certainly call him back if we have another project.
John did an excellent job painting our newly finished basement, walls and trim. It was a large job requiring sanding, priming and numerous coats on the new plaster and trim. He was fastidious in checking for any uneven spots and kept the space tidy during the process. He also hung pegboard in our storage area. We agreed to a price per hour + materials, and I was happy with that approach rather than a project price given how reliable he is. The job was bigger than originally estimated, but it was easy to see why. I highly recommend John. I met him through this site last year when I hired him to hang my exterior Christmas lights and found out he also did interior painting, which is why I reached out to him for our basement. He is a pleasure to work with.

Ill prepared. I would never hire him again.
He is a meticulous professional! Someone I known for many years and I have no hesitation on recommending for any job large or small.
