A customer writing in December 2022 said repairs by Larry's handyman services failed within a week. The work included a gutter, a vent and a retaining wall. The customer said a two-week job stretched past eight months, that they paid the quoted amount in full and were asked for more before a quarter of the work was done, and that they eventually hired another contractor. They also said Larry agreed to repairs and a refund, then missed appointments and ultimately said he could not refund the money. The reviewer described seeking help from the BBB, the Attorney General's Office and court. That was the customer's account of seeking recourse. A September 2021 Google reviewer had a different experience: they praised the work, said Larry charged what he quoted, and described him helping with additional household tasks while doing contracted work. An August 2021 reviewer, however, said two attempts to arrange an estimate ended without a callback. These written reviews date from 2021–2022; Google's September 2026 listing showed 3 stars from four ratings.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Larry's handyman services. 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.
Estimated range
$220 – $850

Would not recommend. Does not show up on time, does not show up on days scheduled, repairs failed within a week. Small gutter repair, small vent repair, retaining wall repair. Was paid in full per quote then asked for more when he wasn't even 1/4 done Was to take two weeks took over 8 months and then had to fire and bring in a new contractor. Was shown how shady the work was from new contractor and why they failed so quick. Informed Larry and he agreed to repair again and refund money. Waited months and he never showed up when scheduled again. Then informed me he doesn't have money and can't refund and blocked my number and messages. Now working with BBB, Attorney General's Office and Court. This buisness is a scam so is the owner Larry Morse do not use.
Larry is great! Very skilled and knowledgeable, high quality work, super fair pricing, charges what he says he’s going to. And such a good guy. He has helped me more than once with additional little things around the house that I couldn’t handle myself, while he’s here doing contracted work, going above and beyond with a friendly and easygoing attitude. Highly recommended.
I have called him two times to get a estimate and each time he said he was going to stop by and set up a time to give me some but is never called me back so experienced not good at all
