Larlin's Home Improvement is a handyman and remodeling business that says it has been at it nine years and lists a service area including West Haven, New Haven, Hamden, Milford and Branford. It holds 4.8 stars from 23 Google ratings and an A+ from the BBB. Its written reviews are few. In an October 2025 Google review, a customer said Larlin's sent a handyman for several small jobs around the house and completed everything on the list with care. A 2023 Thumbtack customer credited him with coming out to look at the work when others did not respond, but said he did not deliver on written estimates as promised and did not honor his word. The company says it offers free estimates and 24/7 emergency service and is insured. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0643977, is listed as expired on the state registry, inactive due to non-renewal of the credential.
