Southshore Handyman, out of South Weymouth, takes on the small jobs other companies skip — hanging a stubborn picture, mounting a shelf, hanging a bedroom door, touching up paint after a repair. The company says it's been doing this work for 11 years. What comes through in its reviews is follow-through. In a 2025 review, a homeowner who hired him for touch-up painting said he matched paint precisely, estimated materials with no waste, and fixed a few extra spots he noticed himself without charging more — even though the job ran a little longer than planned. In a 2024 review, another customer who'd had him mount shelves called him responsive and said that was rare for someone booked through Thumbtack. The jobs on file so far are all small — a door installed at the top of a staircase, some general carpentry, a partial demolition — and every one of them rated him five stars. With only a handful of reviews to go on, it's worth describing the scope of your project clearly before booking to make sure it's the kind of job he usually takes on.

I recently had the pleasure of working with a professional who provided outstanding touch-up paint services. From the beginning, he demonstrated a deep knowledge of the various types of paint and helped me select the most suitable option for my project. Not only did he advise on the right paint to use, but he also accurately estimated the quantity required, ensuring that there was no waste or shortage. His attention to detail was evident as he meticulously prepared the surfaces before applying the paint, resulting in a finish that was smooth and flawless. Although the project took slightly longer than anticipated, he was upfront about the timeline and prioritized delivering high-quality work. What impressed me even more was his willingness to go above and beyond the original contract. He noticed some additional areas that needed attention and took it upon himself to address them without charging extra. This extra effort showcased his commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, leaving me extremely pleased with the result. The final outcome exceeded my expectations, with each touch-up blending seamlessly into the existing paintwork. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of paintwork, as his expertise and dedication are truly exceptional.
He gave me a quote and that was the price he charged me. He did everything I needed done. He was polite and professional.
Exavier was one of the best workmen I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He showed up on time and worked long hours until the job was finished. He answered my questions, pointed out things I hadn't noticed and took care of them. You can depend on him. He's easy to work with he's affordable too. Good Job!
We had him install a bedroom door at the top of our stairs. Great work at a great price. We have several projects lined up. We look forward to working with him again. Thank you so much for being accommodating to our schedule.
Exavier put up my shelves for me and did a great job. He was responsive, set up a time and made sure he showed up and completed the job.. That’s RARE on thumbtack!! I will definitely be contacting him for other jobs and I’d recommend him to everyone for sure.
