Mrg Home Solutions

Several contractors looked at an 85-pound piece that needed hanging 15 to 20 feet above a staircase and said they couldn't do it. MRG Home Solutions said yes and had it up within days — that September 2025 job explains this Stoneham outfit better than any list of services would. Michael Ray runs it with three employees and, by the company's own account, seventeen years behind him. The work is handyman work in the broad sense: picture and art hanging, light fixtures, drywall repair, door screens, interior painting, TV mounts, garage doors. Homeowners have hired it 182 times through Thumbtack, where it holds 4.8 stars from 103 ratings. The written reviews are short and they keep landing on the same thing — he turns up and the problem goes away. A customer writing in December 2025 had a project sitting untouched for a year and a half and got it solved on a Sunday. Another that same month said the fix was quick and clean, and that he stopped to explain what had been going wrong. A January 2025 review describes two lighting fixtures going in prompt and tidy; a June 2025 one was a back-door slider screen, in and out. Two things to weigh before calling. Four percent of those 103 ratings sit at one star — a small but real minority whose experience ran the other way. And Thumbtack currently shows the profile as not available for handyman work, so the first question is whether he is taking jobs at all. For a list of small, awkward household jobs — particularly the ones someone else has already turned down — this is a sensible call. Confirm he's actually available before you plan a weekend around it.
