When a section of siding on one homeowner's house had rotted through and the back deck had pulled away from the wall, several larger remodeling companies turned the job down — Cole, of Norton SimpleFix, didn't. It's the kind of call that shows up again across his reviews: nine five-star write-ups since 2023, each describing a different fix — a shadow-box wall torn out and rewired, a sliding glass door swapped in, a rotted deck floor and its stairs rebuilt, a storm door installed and later serviced. Cole runs the Norton, Massachusetts handyman and light-carpentry business himself, and his Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. The reviews keep coming back to the same two things: he shows up when he says he will, and he explains pricing up front. One customer who's hired him for two separate projects called him "dependable, punctual" with prices that are "fair"; another, after six jobs mixing mechanical, carpentry and electrical work, said he'd "absolutely" be using him again. Before booking, it's worth asking about tenure — the About text on his Angi profile claims 20 years of experience, while Angi's own experience badge on that same page shows 9. He's a strong call for the mixed-repair list — a deck that needs rebuilding alongside a stuck door and a shaky light fixture — across Norton, Mansfield, Easton, Taunton and the other towns he says he covers into Rhode Island; just confirm how long he's actually been doing this before you book.
Cole at Norton SimpleFix is very professional with booking and keeps scheduled time. He is highly skilled and efficient at fixing multiple things. He tackles projects big and small. I already plan to book him again next month for projects and I’m telling friends what great work he does.
Cole is easy to work with. He has straight forward communication and pricing. He has done 2 projects for me replacing floor boards and a window and installing a storm door. More recently maintenance on the storm door hinge. He does good work, is dependable, punctual and prices are fair. I recommend Norton Simplefix!
I hired Cole to perform six projects requiring mechanical, carpentry, and electrical skills. He arrived when he said he would be here and performed all of the work efficiently and professionally. I will absolutely be using him for future projects.
We had a complicated issue where a section of the siding on our house had rotted due to water damage, and our back deck had detached from the house. Several larger siding/home improvement companies said that they couldn't help us but luckily Cole came to rescue! He did an amazing job fixing everything up and it's as good as new now. He also previously did a bunch of smaller projects around the inside of our house, which were a huge help (fixing a ceiling, replacing cracked tiles, replacing a broken electric outlet, redoing the grout/sealant for a part of our shower, installing new outdoor lights, etc.) He's easy to work with, responsible, and affordable, and I wholeheartedly recommend him.
Cole is fair and reliable and takes the stress away from homeowners faced with various tasks that are not worth attempting on one’s own. I highly recommend him!
