Scott's Handy Services is a Swansea, Massachusetts operation built around small-to-midsize home jobs — a garage door opener that needs installing, a bathroom fan's vent and pipe, a TV that needs mounting cleanly, or storm cleanup after a fallen tree. The company says owner Scott Mandeville has worked in the trade since graduating from Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School in 1989, and describes itself as a Massachusetts-and-Rhode-Island handyman, carpentry and remodeling business that also takes on deck, patio, siding, roofing and general contracting work, with a stated service area reaching Rhode Island towns including Barrington, Providence and Warwick.
What customers keep coming back to is how the job actually goes. One 2026 review called a fan-vent-and-pipe repair "quick service at a great rate"; another, from February, praised a garage-door-opener install for a technician who showed up on time and explained every step. A late-2025 review called a TV mount the best of several the customer had had done elsewhere, and in 2024, after a storm toppled a neighbor's tree onto one property's fence, deck and gutter, the homeowner's account of that repair became the business's first review on Google. A 2025 snow-removal call drew a standout write-up too, after the customer's usual provider failed to show during a freezing-rain event. The ratings bear this out at scale — 5.0 stars on both Angi (20 reviews) and HomeAdvisor (20 reviews), 5 stars on Google (6 ratings), 4.8 on Thumbtack (16 ratings) — and Angi's and HomeAdvisor's own Approved-Pro summaries describe the work spanning handyman tasks, carpentry, painting, flooring and small remodeling. The state registry confirms its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active.
What's worth asking about before booking: in a 2025 Thumbtack review, one customer said the business never returned a call and described the experience as unprofessional — a contrast with the responsiveness described in the reviews above.
For a homeowner with a list of small-to-medium repairs, installs or storm cleanup rather than a single big remodel, Scott's is a reasonable call — worth confirming current availability and getting a firm quote before booking.
