Sam Handy works Boston-area homes as a one-person handyman operation — the kind of business you call for a TV that needs mounting, a bed that needs reassembling, or a shelf that needs to go up straight. Angi and HomeAdvisor both put him at 5.0 stars from 16 ratings. The five reviews on file, all from mid-2026, describe exactly that range of jobs. A homeowner's review posted in early September 2026 says Sam built a desk, mounted a TV, and hung a picture, calling the work quick. An August 2026 review walks through a tricky door knob replacement — a door with layers of old hardware built up over the years — that Sam coordinated directly with the reviewer's tenant and finished with skill and efficiency. Another from the same month describes him arriving on time to remove and reassemble a bed, with a reviewer noting he 'genuinely cares about his work.' A couple of the other entries are shorter — one just notes he was hired to mount shelves, another that a wall mount 'works grest' — but every review on file is five stars. There isn't much else to go on yet: no complaints, no licensing issues, nothing beyond these handyman jobs and some listed capability with computer and network wiring repairs. For small, one-off household fixes — mounting, assembly, minor repairs — the reviews line up consistently; for anything bigger, there isn't a track record here to judge yet, so it's worth asking directly about the scope of work he takes on before booking.

A day rate replaces the task list — usually the better deal once the list gets long.

Sam was great! He was able to build my desk, mount my TV and hang a picture for me. Very quick and great — would highly recommend to anyone!
Hired to mount shelves
Sam did a fantastic job with a tricky door knob replacement. It was a door with layers of hardware built up over the years, making it a complicated task. Sam coordinated a time directly with my tenant, showed up promptly, and completed the job with great skill and efficiency. Highly recommended!
Sam was excellent! He arrived punctually and helped with both removing and assembling a new bed. His demeanor clearly showed he has a kind heart and genuinely cares about his work. I would strongly recommend him!
Was polite & efficient. Wall mount works grest.
