Shoreline Home Services

Shoreline Home Services is a Saugus, Massachusetts operation run by Dan Swanson, and if there's one job people call him for, it's a stuck or broken storm door. Homeowner after homeowner recounts the same scene: a door that won't close, a DIY project gone sideways, or a frame that needs replacing, and Dan showing up — often the next day — to sort it out. The track record is deep and consistent. Across 25 reviews spanning 2023 to 2026, all but one rate the work 5 stars, and HomeAdvisor's own tally backs that up: 4.9 stars from 93 ratings, 96% of them five-star. Customers keep returning to a handful of specifics — Dan repairing a damaged door frame and painting it to match, re-hanging an old custom storm door after a homeowner got quoted "crazy" prices elsewhere, or fixing a botched DIY drill job without leaving any sign the homeowner had gotten there first. A few reviews go past the door itself: one customer had him look at a deck repair, and he flagged and fixed three other exterior issues on the house while he was there. Pricing comes up unprompted and consistently as fair rather than cheap-sounding, and several reviewers specifically mention he did more work than they'd asked for at the quoted price. One quirk worth knowing before calling: HomeAdvisor's own "About us" write-up on the Shoreline Home Services profile is written under a different business name, Shoreline Roofing & Construction — likely leftover boilerplate from a related listing, but worth confirming which entity you'd actually be contracting with. For storm door repair, exterior trim work, or a stuck door that needs an actual fix rather than a replacement quote, this is a one-person outfit whose reviews describe the same kind of visit over and over.
