MG Contracting and Handyman Service

MG Contracting and Handyman Service is a one-man operation on Conant Road in Nashua, New Hampshire, run by an owner customers call Marc (or Mark). He is hired for the jobs that fall between trades - porch and deck rebuilds, rotted-wood replacement, door and trim installation, drywall and ceiling repair, gutter and siding fixes - and its Porch listing claims 42 years in the business. The written record runs from 2016 to 2026 across Google and Porch, 18 reviews in all, and it is unusually specific for a handyman. A 2022 customer describes a long-standing leak over an unused chimney bump-out re-roofed properly and never leaking again after heavy rain; a 2023 reviewer lists three doors installed, a clogged gutter cleared and a vinyl siding piece repaired in one visit; a 2025 customer had drywall repair, ceiling texture, ceiling painting and crown molding done together. Speed and communication come up constantly. A June 2026 reviewer preparing to list a house says Marc came out within 48 hours, quoted 12 hours later and was on site the next day. Several reviewers are repeat customers, and a Reddit commenter in r/nashua recommended the company in August 2026 when a neighbour asked for a handyman. The caveats are two one-star reviews from 2023 and they are worth reading before booking. One is short - not professional, unreliable, unhelpful. The other is from a customer who says the job was quoted high, was accepted and then cancelled at the last minute before any money changed hands, and that the owner sent an abusive text afterwards. Both sit against a long run of five-star accounts, and no complaint of that kind appears before or since, but they are the honest counterweight to the average. One credential note: New Hampshire does not register general contractors or handymen, so there is no state licence to check for this kind of work, and none was verified here.
