One review describes a Stoneham handyman turning up on a Sunday to finally fix a problem the homeowner had put off for a year and a half — and another describes hanging an 85-pound piece 15 to 20 feet above a staircase after several other pros assessed the job and said they couldn't do it. That's the range MRG Home Solutions, run by Michael Ray, keeps showing up in: small, specific fixes other people either won't schedule or can't pull off. All five written reviews on file come from Thumbtack, where the business carries a 4.8-star average across 103 ratings (93% five-star), a completed Thumbtack background check for Michael Ray, and — per its own profile — 17 years in business. The 2025 reviews describe lighting-fixture installs, a slider screen replacement, and quick, courteous service, with more than one customer saying they'd call again. One thing worth checking before counting on a booking: the Thumbtack profile currently shows Michael Ray as not available for handyman work, so confirm current availability directly.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Mrg Home Solutions. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
A day rate replaces the task list — usually the better deal once the list gets long.
Estimated range
$220 – $850
Typical handyman visit around $540
Michael was very responsive and professional. Not only did he fix the issue I contacted him about quickly and cleanly, but he also took the time to explain what was happening. I will definitely consider him again for future projects!
Michael was great— came on a Sunday to tackle a project I’ve put off for a year and a half. He problem solved and found a solution that fixed the issue, and did so in a timely and courteous manner. Happy to add him to my team of professionals. Thanks again!
I hired MRG to hang several large items in my home, one of which was 15-20 ft above a staircase and was 85 lbs. After contacting several other professionals who came to assess the job and said they could not achieve the request, MRG came and quickly and effectively completed the job with a high quality result and professional experience within a matter of days . I highly recommend hiring MRG as they are responsive, professional, and provide your desired results without giving up quality. I plan to hire them again for several other projects as they are versatile in their skills.
Replaced the screen in my back door slider. It was quick and he did a great job.
Michael did great work installing two new lighting fixtures in our home. He was prompt, efficient, and everything looks great. I will definitely call him again.
