Verified record
Prism Engineer is a one-person North Shore operation run by Preston Lofgren, a mechanical engineer who left corporate work to go out on his own after time spent as an independent contractor on handyman, bathroom-remodel and whole-house rebuild jobs in the area. The company itself focuses narrower today: home maintenance, carpentry, furniture assembly and one-off design work for homeowners and businesses around Swampscott. There isn't a written review record yet, but the name has come up twice in Salem-area Reddit contractor threads — a 2023 post shared a phone number for "Prism Engineering (Preston)," and a more recent 2026 thread linked straight to the company's site. Lofgren's site lists an insured, registered Massachusetts home improvement contractor number, though it hasn't been checked against the state registry. Too early to say much beyond that — worth a call for a smaller maintenance or design job on the North Shore, with the usual homework on licensing and references given how thin the public record still is.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Prism Engineer LLC. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
A day rate replaces the task list — usually the better deal once the list gets long.
Estimated range
$220 – $850
Typical handyman visit around $540
