My Handyman of Dover, Portsmouth and Rochester is an independently owned Mr. Handyman franchise location (a Neighborly company) based in Dover, NH, hired for a wide range of home repair, carpentry, painting, and small remodeling jobs across the Seacoast area. The company holds a 4.6-star Google rating from 315 reviews and is a BBB-accredited business with an A rating, with a review history stretching from 2021 through 2026. The most consistent praise across years of reviews is for responsiveness and the quality of hands-on repair and carpentry work. Reviewers describe technicians arriving on time, often the same day or within a week of a call, and completing jobs efficiently: deck rebuilding and stabilizing, siding repairs after storm or winter damage, drywall and sheetrock patching, custom mantle builds, and small installs like shower doors, grab bars, shelving and light fixtures. Several reviewers name specific technicians — Jason, Justin, Norman, Dana and others — and say they would request them again. Alongside that record, a specific and recurring type of complaint shows up on both Google and HomeAdvisor: pricing that changed significantly after the initial quote. One review describes a roof-flashing repair quoted between $300 and $500 that became $1,215 with no refund issued for months; a HomeAdvisor review describes a $750 quote for four small jobs that became a $740 bill despite far less time worked than estimated, and a nearly identical review describing severe overcharging for a water-heater repair appears on both Google and HomeAdvisor. Other reviews describe a gutter-cleaning quote raised mid-process, a shower-door estimate reviewers say wasn't accurate up front, and a gazebo assembly job billed at roughly $130 per technician-hour that one reviewer called outrageously expensive. A smaller number of reviews describe work that was never finished or a repair that was misdiagnosed — one reviewer says a technician replaced a garage door opener that only needed a loose wire reconnected. Before booking, it's worth asking for a written, itemized quote up front and confirming it won't change once work is underway, since that is the specific issue the negative reviews describe — not the quality of finished work, which the majority of reviews rate highly. For homeowners in the Dover, Portsmouth, and Rochester area needing a wide range of repair, carpentry, or small remodeling work handled by one company, My Handyman has a long, mostly positive track record — just confirm pricing details in writing before the crew starts.
This is the first time I’ve used this company and it won’t be the last. They were so wonderful . Yes they were knowledgeable but most of us know that being personable goes a long way in having an excellent experience. And these guys were exceptional ! Gian and Dana were the men that came here and I recommend them highly . I will share though , just as long as other customers know they are mine 😂! But seriously, just a great experience !!
My Handyman did a great job on stabilizing and rebuilding my deck. Jason arrived when he said he would, gave me an accurate quote for the work and dived right in to get it done the same day. On a sweltering and hot day, he maintained a thoughtful and efficient pace throughout for the day and a half project took. This included a trip to purchase lumber and supplies, and cleanup at the end of the project. I am impressed with the quality of the work and would recommend My Handyman for any kind of homeowner projects. Previously we had another My Handyman project (to clean out gutters) and that was done very well too, including overcoming obstacles of 3 wasp nests and cutting off a tree limb that was contributing to our gutter clogging.
Great job. On time and right price.
Norman was great, he was able to help us with a short term solution and long term plan.
Beyond pleased with my experience with MyHandyman’s service and professionalism! I had been reaching out to various companies to get some work done and MyHandyman was the first to even pick up my call. They sent someone over same day to check out the job and provide a quote and book service within the week. Dolton reached out via text to give me updates on the schedule and Dan who did the work was so friendly and knowledgeable. He was transparent about expectations and checked in frequently on the progress of the work and was done within a few short hours. We have a few more projects we are considering and will absolutely be using MyHandyman again in the future! 10/10 recommend!
