Shoreline Home Services is a one-person outfit in Saugus run by Dan Swanson, doing storm door repair and installation, deck and porch fixes, and small exterior carpentry around the North Shore. HomeAdvisor lists six years of experience and credits nearly all of the work — door frames, storm doors, decks, even a mailbox install — to Dan by name. Homeowners who hire him describe the same thing over and over: a fast callback, next-day visits, and a job finished in one trip. One customer who botched an Andersen storm door install themselves called Dan in to fix the drilling; another needed an old storm door re-hung after getting quotes elsewhere that seemed high. Several reviews mention Dan going beyond the original ask — repainting a repaired door frame, checking other small exterior repairs while he was already on site, fixing a mailbox alongside a door job. The reviews run from 2023 through this year without a stated complaint anywhere in them — even the one four-star rating among them praises the work without noting a problem. HomeAdvisor's own profile is a little confusing on paper: its About text opens under a different business name, Shoreline Roofing & Construction, even though the reviews and project history clearly belong to Shoreline Home Services and Dan Swanson. Shoreline is a solid call for storm doors, exterior trim, or a small deck repair around Saugus — confirm which business name is on the invoice, since HomeAdvisor's own page opens under a different one.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Shoreline Home Services. 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.

Not only did he repair our deck quickly and well, he also noticed three other small repairs on the house exterior and took care of them as well. Absolutely great.
Dan was here as promised and punctual!! He arrived and got to work immediately and had the door working properly within half an hour!! Reasonably priced and courteous and a genuinely nice person!! I would not hesitate to call him when I need something done!! Thank you Dan!!
I tried to DIY an Andersen Storm Door at my daughter’s house. Every video I saw online made it look easy. 45 minutes tops….wrong…3 trips to Home Depot for the correct drill bits. Messed up drill template and holes didn’t line up. HELP … Connected with Shoreline Services. Dan came out, didn’t judge, quoted me a reasonable price, fixed the holes I drilled incorrectly and installed the door professionally, easily and quickly, without any sign of my amateurism. Thanks Dan Swanson at Shoreline for a job very well done! Next project, give Shoreline a call. You won’t be disappointed.
