ORC Contracting

ORC Contracting is a New Bedford handyman and home-repair outfit that says it has 28 years in the trade — the kind of business homeowners call for the job too small for a specialty contractor but too tricky to DIY. Its stated services span decks, doors, window installs, painting, tile and finish carpentry, and it reports serving Spanish-speaking customers as well as English. The reviews on HomeAdvisor and Angi, both showing a 4.8-star average, tell a consistent story of showing up and getting an odd job done right. In a July 2025 review, a customer described a mailbox that had been knocked completely down — the crew came out the next day, rebuilt it, and called the work fast and solid. Another July 2025 customer needed an old thru-the-wall air conditioner swapped for a new one; when the new unit's dimensions didn't match, the crew enlarged the wall opening to fit it and finished the job cleanly. In a 2021 review, a homeowner said ORC was the only contractor willing to come out and actually look at a small job, and did it professionally, in reasonable time and at a reasonable price. There isn't much to flag before calling — the five reviews on file, dated 2020 to 2025, are uniformly positive on both platforms, and nothing negative shows up on either one. For an odd repair or a small install — a broken fixture, a swapped AC unit, a stretch of finish work — this reads like a company built for exactly that kind of call. With only five reviews on record, it's worth asking for a couple of recent references before handing over anything bigger.
