Richard is the name that comes up in Reeds Handyman's reviews, often next to the words on time. Customers of this Lowell, Massachusetts handyman business describe jobs such as wallpaper removal in August 2021, a console table assembled "in no time" in March 2020, and help with another customer's projects that same month. Three customers, writing in 2020 and 2021, say Richard was punctual or on time. A July 2021 reviewer called him prompt, flexible about timing and efficient; a May 2021 Angi reviewer said he was reliable and honest, did well with simple, straightforward tasks, and charged very reasonable rates. In September 2022 a customer gave 4 stars for pretty good work, "especially for the price," and said the worker was on time and communicative. One job went badly. In an August 2021 HomeAdvisor review, a customer gave 1 star and wrote that a door still did not open; the worker made a mess, did not clean up, and left the door off its hinges, and when the door fell, a window broke. The business holds 4.3 stars from 11 ratings on both Angi and HomeAdvisor, with 64% at 5 stars, 27% at 4 stars and 9% at 1 star.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Reeds Handyman. 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.

Pretty good work, especially for the price. Was on time and communicative.
He was very nice and replied promptly to my requests
Nice work
I hired Richard to remove wallpaper. He was punctual and did an excellentl job. He is very pleasant to work with.
The door still does not open, he made a mess and did not clean up after himself. He took and left the door off the hinges and felt this was a little unsafe. When the door fell, the window broke.
