Realty Home Improvement is a Clinton, MA handyman and home-improvement company — demolition, cleanouts and dumpsters, painting, carpentry, kitchens and baths — that says it started in 2005 working with realtors and homeowners trying to get more out of a property. The one written account, posted on Thumbtack in September 2025, is a hard one. A homeowner who hired the company for a basement renovation wrote that the agreement with Rick, the owner, projected 7 to 10 days of work; on day seven the job was not complete, everything was rushed at the last moment, and the customer was told they were done. Thumbtack shows 1.0 stars from that single rating, with seven projects on the profile. The listings elsewhere set out the mix: Angi and HomeAdvisor both show bathrooms, kitchens, cleanouts, dumpsters and interior residential painting, each with 19 years of experience self-reported and Spanish spoken; Thumbtack adds handyman work, junk removal and general carpentry. The company's own site claims 21 years and names Concord in its service area. If you are weighing them for a renovation rather than a cleanout, pin the schedule down in writing — what counts as complete, and what happens if the last day arrives with work left — and ask to see a finished basement or kitchen. Confirm the Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration and insurance before any money changes hands.
The worst experience ever. I hired RHI to renovate my basement and got an agreement with Rick (the owner). Projected work per the agreement is 7-10 days. On day 7, the work was not completed, everything was rushed at last moment and I was told we are done today on day #7. I asked if we should need one more day to wrap up everything left, but I got an attitude from Rick. He was not professional. Long story short, he got someone for another day to wrap up the project, but it was not easy to work with him. He should show respect and professionalism to his customers. Respect the timeframe and complete the job to the finish line. I would never hire this company again. Not recommended!!
