Mr Carl Handyman Services LLC

Mr Carl Handyman Services works out of Medford, handling the everyday jobs a homeowner calls a handyman for — a quick repair, flooring, kitchen or bathroom work, or putting together furniture and playsets. The company's own site says it dates back to 2011 with more than 3,000 projects completed, though its Better Business Bureau file only credits it with about five years in business — a gap worth asking about rather than taking either number at face value. The people who've hired Carl mostly describe a quick pace and a clean finish: on Angi, four reviewers gave a perfect 5.0, citing a fast quote, work starting as soon as materials arrived, and a couple of extra small jobs thrown in at no added cost. That history isn't deep, though — five known reviews spread across six sites since 2022 — so those marks rest on a small sample. Not every account matches that picture. On Google, where the rating sits at just 3.7 from three ratings, one review describes a missed appointment — a time set for a simple repair that never happened, with no response after repeated follow-up. That's worth weighing against the praise elsewhere, since dependable scheduling is exactly what the happier reviewers point to. The license itself is solid: its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and the BBB gives the business an A+, though it has never sought BBB accreditation. Before booking, it's worth getting the appointment window in writing given the mixed record on follow-through.
