Liams Handyman Services DBA LHS Construction

LHS Construction is a Weymouth-area handyman and remodeling business whose reviews built a strong 2022 and 2023 track record for custom carpentry, roofing and general remodeling work — but that changed sharply in its most recent record. An NBC Boston report from August 2024 identifies Liam McNeil, a licensed nurse practitioner, as the contractor behind LHS Construction and says he was accused by customers of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments and then trying to have those debts discharged through bankruptcy. Two November 2023 reviews describe the same pattern directly: one customer paid a deposit toward a garage build and said the contractor "went silent" and was going through bankruptcy; another said they paid $40,000 for a job where only some trees were cut down with a hand saw before the contractor hired a bankruptcy attorney and left the rest unfinished. Before that break, 2022 and 2023 reviews regularly described finished, on-schedule work: a full roof replacement completed in two days, a kitchen renovation that involved removing a load-bearing wall, a custom-built outdoor cedar shower, and new stairs and handrails built for a homeowner who needed better mobility access. Several reviews from that period also describe additional workers and subcontractors being brought in to coordinate larger projects. Given the deposit-and-bankruptcy pattern described above, confirm the business's current standing, insurance and licensing before paying anything toward a project, and avoid large upfront deposits until that's settled.
