A deck replacement, cathedral-ceiling tape-joint work, and ice-dam Sheetrock repairs are the kinds of hands-on jobs customers recently describe McCarthy Repair and Maintenance handling. The Litchfield-based business serves a broad set of southern New Hampshire communities; its website says Brian McCarthy created it in 2026 after nearly 40 years of home-repair and odd-job experience and operates it himself. The four Google reviews, all posted between March and May 2026, are uniformly five stars. Customers describe meticulous work, creative solutions, promptness, responsiveness, clear follow-up, and a final cost that matched expectations; one reviewer specifically praised tape-joint repairs across two cathedral-ceiling rooms at an extremely fair price. McCarthy’s own site lists repair, maintenance, installation, small first-story siding repairs, and limited plumbing among its offerings, while stressing that it does very little plumbing because complex issues are better handled by a plumber. Ask about the scope of any plumbing request and whether a project falls within the stated service area before booking. This looks best suited to homeowners who need a careful handyman for repair, installation, drywall, decking, and maintenance jobs rather than a full-service plumbing contractor. Confirm the exact work scope, travel expectations, and price before scheduling.
Brian replaced my deck. I love the result and enjoyed the process. The work is meticulous. Brian was prompt, hard working, and pleasant. He came up with creative solutions to issues. The final cost was as expected. Highly recommend.
Fantastic to work with. Full transparency and follow up throughout the process. Highly recommend.
Brian redid some tape joints on two rooms with cathedral ceilings including matching the pattern on the rest of the ceiling. Good quality work for an extremely fair price.
Brian was great to work with. He’s responsive and pays attention to detail. He completed some Sheetrock repairs that were caused because of ice dams. This is my second time working with Brian. Call him, you won’t regret it.
