Marc The Handyman

Marc The Handyman is a one-person Cambridge shop run by Marc Hedges, who has been doing small home-repair and installation work since 2012 — Thumbtack lists him with 17 years in the trade, and the Better Business Bureau grades the business A+. What people call him for is the small stuff that's hard to get anyone out for: hanging art and mirrors, mounting TVs, assembling furniture, installing curtains and rods, and quick fixes around the house. Reviews across Google, Thumbtack and Porch describe the same pattern again and again — he shows up close to the time he says he will, often the same day or the next, and gets the job done without drama. A recent review calls the work skilled and neat with clear communication; another from June 2026 describes him giving a 30-minute heads-up before arriving and being good with the homeowner's dog. In a January 2026 review, a customer described a meticulous curtain and rod installation where "every room came out perfect." The written record runs back further than most — in a 2023 review a customer called him "the most incredible handyman," citing his judgment and sense of space, and a 2019 Thumbtack review from a first-time user describes him hanging a large piece of art quickly after she'd been putting the job off. Thumbtack has named him a Top Pro four times (2017, 2018, 2020 and 2021), with its background check on file for Marc Hedges by name. A 2025 Reddit thread recommended him directly, calling him fair on price and friendly across several small jobs — though the same post notes he generally doesn't take on carpentry or electrical work, worth keeping in mind if your project needs either. Before booking, it's worth confirming he's the right fit scope-wise: this is precision small-job work — hanging, mounting, assembly, fixture swaps — rather than larger carpentry or electrical projects.
