Pisano's Odd Jobs and Appliances

Pisano's Odd Jobs and Appliances is a Mendon handyman business run by Richard Pisano. BBB lists it as a handyman business and says it has been operating for 36 years; HomeAdvisor describes it as family-owned, with 29 years of experience, emergency service, free estimates and warranties. Its work spans small home repairs, appliance installation and general household projects. The dated HomeAdvisor reviews are mostly positive. Homeowners describe timely replies, clear scheduling, polite and professional work, appliance and gas-dryer installation, tree-branch removal, flooring repair, fencing and punch-list work. In a 2016 review, one customer said Pisano responded within minutes, arrived on time and was knowledgeable while connecting a gas dryer; another said he completed most of a punch list after providing a quote. The written history runs from 2012 through 2023, while HomeAdvisor reports 4.2 stars from 32 ratings. There are also specific cautions to discuss before booking. A 2018 one-star review says subcontracted work was left half done and that follow-up became difficult; a separate 2018 reviewer reported not receiving a response to a cleaning request. A 2017 reviewer found the price reasonable and the effort strong but cited communication problems. Those accounts are old, but they make the scope of subcontracting, the point of contact and the completion plan worth confirming in writing. This is a fit for homeowners looking for a broad handyman or appliance task and willing to define the job clearly. Confirm who will perform each part, how follow-up works, and whether the current license status and estimate cover the specific project.
