Verified record
Picture Perfect Handyman Services is a Swampscott operation run by James Do, sometimes joined by his brothers and father, doing everyday fix-it work — trim, tile, small carpentry, appliance installs — rather than big remodels. The entire written record, 17 reviews across Angi and HomeAdvisor, dates to 2014 and 2015. Most of it describes small, specific jobs done reliably. In a 2014 review, a homeowner had James and his father strip and restain the shingle siding on their dormers, paint trim and rebuild the corners in Azek, supplying the materials themselves — the price came in "better than reasonable" and James threw in extra flashing and Tyvek at no charge. Other 2014 reviews describe a storm door fix handled with what one customer called meticulous follow-up, a kitchen cabinet replacement done "quiet and efficient," and a Saturday-morning kitchen ventilation hood install that started at the exact time promised rather than a vague window. One account is a clear outlier: in a 2015 review, a customer reported tile installed crooked and an adjacent appliance dented during the work, calling it "VERY poor workmanship." James Do runs this as a small, personal outfit for routine handyman jobs — tile, trim, carpentry, appliance and fixture installs — and the written record, while positive on the whole, is now over a decade old. Worth a current conversation about availability and a look at any tile or finish work in person before committing to something larger.

Excellent company. I hired James Do, his brothers, and his father to repair plaster, seal and paint 4 ceilings and walls. Beautiful job.
Tile was installed crooked and the appliance adjacent to the wall being tiled was dented following his work. VERY poor workmanship.
Excellent job, very affordable, and timely
James was very very easy ro talk to. He told me when he was coming and arrived on time. Haven't been on the roof but he was and I assume he cleaned all the gutters. What else would there be to do? Unfortunately I did not get estimates so I can't evaluate the amount he charged.
Very professional. Good work ethics and skills! Will be using them again for future projects.
