Parrett Carpentry and Home Services is a one-person handyman and carpentry operation run by Dave Parrett out of Carver, Massachusetts, with 32 years of experience in the trade, according to the company's own profile. The business handles a broad range of home repair and finish work rather than one narrow specialty -- painting, trim and molding, furniture assembly, minor plumbing and electrical fixes, and general carpentry. Every review on record is a full five stars, and several describe a long relationship rather than a one-off job. One homeowner has used Dave for eight years of house projects -- painting ceilings in the living room, kitchen and bedrooms, replacing and painting outside trim, laying a new floor, and building out walls in a laundry room. Another reviewer, caring for an antique home, praised his skill across carpentry, electrical and plumbing work alongside his dependability. A third described him handling everything from furniture assembly to full room repaints, calling him her default call for fixing almost anything around the house. The reviews consistently emphasize attention to detail and follow-through -- one homeowner called out an accurate estimate, on-time completion, and impeccable cleanup after painting an entire interior and sealing and staining a deck. All five reviews on record are from early 2024 and appear identically on both Angi and HomeAdvisor, describing repeat customers rather than one-off hires. Anyone hiring for a specific licensed trade -- electrical or plumbing -- should confirm the scope of work directly, since the reviews describe him handling minor repairs in those areas rather than licensed installs.

Dave is an expert and a true professional. He takes pride in his work. He makes the effort to do things the right way the first time. I’m reluctant to leave this recommendation in fear that he won’t be available to help me the next time I need his services. He’s THAT good.
Very professional and very polite. Did a great job on entire interior of home. They also sealed and stained my deck. Estimate was accurate and fair, all jobs were completed in a timely manner. Clean up was impeccable. The next job was some minor plumbing repairs and small carpentry projects, replacing doors and addressing some leaks. Highly recommend!
For the last eight years Dave has been helping us with house projects. He has painted the living room , kitchen, and bedroom ceilings as well as replaced outside trim and painted outside trim and windows. Recently he laid a floor and put up walls in our new laundry room. Dave’s reliable attention to detail and quality of work has always been appreciated. We would highly recommend Dave Parrett for his truly professional work.
Dave has done so many projects around my house and I am so grateful for him. From painting to repairs, to carpentry, to assembling furniture, to fixing literally anything, Dave is my go to! He can always figure out how to get the job done. Sometimes I request a ‘lipstick on the pig’ job and other times, he will fully repair or replace something. Dave is very trustworthy and he always does a great job.
Dave is an expert with all professions—carpentry, electrical, plumbing, etc. He is also very friendly and dependable. He helps our family a lot as we take care of our antique home.
