Shire Handyman Service LLC

Shire Handyman Service is Mike, an owner-operator working out of New Hampshire and covering Southern New Hampshire, coastal Massachusetts, and coastal and southeastern Maine. His site says the business dates to 2001 and that he brings more than 20 years across the trades. What people hire him for is the list — the small jobs that pile up in a house and never quite get done. His Google page shows a 5-star average across 26 ratings, and ten of those 26 reviewers describe more than one job he has done for them. A February 2024 customer ran through one such list: patching plaster, pulling out shelving the previous owners had glued to the wall, leveling cabinets, putting up closet rods, fixing doors. Another homeowner that same month had him rebuild a very heavy antique oak desk alongside a laundry list of little projects, and mentioned he was careful with both the house and the cats. Bigger jobs show up too. An April 2025 reviewer attached a photo of the drywall he put up in their basement; a January 2025 customer had him find water leaking behind a shower wall and clear a clogged kitchen drain. In September 2025, someone who asked for a tub to be recaulked got all the wall corners done as well. A 2023 reviewer had him install a U-shaped air conditioner he had never fitted before, and he worked out a way to seat it in a window of the wrong configuration. Price comes up as a compliment rather than a question: a 2021 customer called him fairly priced, a 2023 reviewer called him transparent about pricing, and a 2023 homeowner who had two bathroom projects done said they felt confident in both the price and the quality. When a 2023 faucet repair hit a valve problem right away, that customer wrote that he worked on a solution and got the job done. If your list is a dozen small-to-middling jobs — a door that sticks, drywall to hang, a fixture to swap, repairs before a house goes on the market — this is the shape of outfit built for it. Get the scope and price for each item in writing before work starts, and since the jobs span plumbing and electrical alongside carpentry, ask how anything needing a licensed trade is handled and confirm his insurance.
