A Natick customer writing in February 2015 described hiring Strout's About to build a wooden patio. They said Steve Strout listened to what they wanted, suggested options without trying to make the project more expensive, and delivered the patio on time and on budget. A December 2017 Google reviewer also reported work completed on time and under budget. The business is listed at 9 Nolin Street in Natick. Thumbtack lists handyman work, furniture assembly, trim installation, shelving systems and window repairs, among other services. The names differ across the profiles: the Google patio account identifies Steve Strout, while Thumbtack identifies Nick Colantuono. In a November 2024 Thumbtack review, a customer said Nick extended an oak railing and matched its existing stain and finish. Massachusetts confirms an active construction supervisor license held by Nicholas R Colantuono. These accounts should not be read as identifying Steve and Nick as the same person.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Strout's About Contracting and Handyman 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.
Estimated range
$220 – $850
Typical handyman visit around $540
Nick was awesome to work with! His attention to detail goes above and beyond as he ensures all his finished work comes out pristine. He makes himself available as often as needed and responds immediately. He prioritizes his clients that you feel it’s less of client/contractor relationship and more of a partnership. 10/10 Nick will be a go to in the future
We hired Nick to install an extension to an oak railing in an already finished space. This was for my elderly father who was extremely picky, and Nick did an amazing job. He was able to match the stain and finish to Match the existing railing. You could never tell that it wasn’t original to the house. Nick is very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with. He truly does have skills that are hard to come by. I would highly recommend him for any project in your home
We’ve had Nick do a number of jobs for us over the years at our houses. Nick is an excellent craftsman who really understands the importance of quality and timely service. We couldn’t recommend him enough!
Nick was very responsive and helpful getting what was a tricky diy project for us done quickly!
On time and under budget. He was amiable and available. I was impressed with his professionalism. Thanks Mr. Strout.
