Johnny5 Handyman is a handyman and painting business based in Hudson, NH, run by an owner named John (one review names him John Kostro). Across 15 reviews on Angi and HomeAdvisor spanning 2021 through early 2025, every review is five stars, and reviewers consistently describe John and his crew doing quality work themselves rather than subcontracting it out. The most frequently cited work is interior and exterior painting, but reviewers also describe flooring replacement, basement framing, extensive trim and high-ceiling work, and a complicated bathtub installation after a demolition. A recurring theme across multiple years of reviews is that John communicates well throughout a project and stands by his pricing: a 2025 review describes a basement painting and flooring job where he fixed unforeseen issues at no extra cost, and a 2023 review describes him maintaining communication from start to finish and staying afterward. Several reviewers say they have used him more than once and plan to again. Homeowners in the Hudson, NH area looking for a reliable, hands-on handyman for painting, flooring, trim, or general repair work should find a consistent, well-reviewed choice here, though the record is a modest 15 reviews, so it is worth confirming current availability and scheduling directly.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Johnny5 Handyman. 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.

John and his crew were great and my project came out better than I expected! I hired them to paint 2 rooms in my basement as well as to rip up an old carpet and put down a new floor. John gave me a reasonable price and stuck to it. There were a couple of things I hadnt thought of that he pointed out to me and he fixed them at no additional cost. His crew went above and beyond and moved a fridge so they could put down flooring underneath. Communication was great and I knew everything that was going on at all times. I have a couple of other projects I need done and you can bet I will be hiring John again. I highly reccomend!!
John and his crew showed up at our home early and worked all day. They were professional and courteous and the work that they did was impeccable. They all went above and beyond. I would definitely hire them again and recommend them!
John is friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely reliable. The quality of his work is excellent, and I would highly recommend him. We have utilized John's services multiple times, and he comes through every time.
Far above expectations for their quality of work, prep work and cleanup of all areas to bring living area back to original setup.
John and his crew showed up each day, was very courteous, and did a great job on my trim and walls. It was a great deal of trim work and high ceiling work, and they did it all for a great price. John even helped me install a bath/tub that I had demo'd and it was extremely complicated, and he stayed the entire time to get it done. I'd highly recommend Johnny 5 Handyman to anyone!
