Surv of Needham and Norwood is a home-maintenance franchise, and a recent Google customer said two carpenters, a father and son, fixed an aging play structure so it is now safe for seven young grandchildren, adding a new roof and reinforcing and strengthening the slide. That customer called the price, including picking up the needed supplies at Home Depot, very reasonable. The company describes itself as the local Massachusetts franchise of Surv, a national home-services company offering yard work, odd jobs, exterior cleaning, junk removal and local moving help, and names Needham and Norwood as its service area. A recent customer said that when custom pantry doors would have run well over budget, the company had them buy doors in a standard size and then trimmed them to fit. A recent customer said the company replaced an old cellar door and sealed and coated two outdoor decks. A recent customer said Surv cleaned the gutters, power washed the house, and repaired and stained the deck. A recent first-time customer said roof and gutter cleaning, plus chicken wire and latticework put up around the base of a deck, were done at a fair price. A recent customer said Kurt and his team showed up on time for a yard job and sent text updates when they were on the way, and that the owner stopped by during the project and called afterward. A recent customer said the windows were so clean "I think they're missing," and that the team walked them through an inspection. A recent customer said Letty explored multiple options for a move and was very responsive. A 2026 customer said that after a job request went in late on a Thursday night, the company called on Friday and scheduled an appointment for Monday, and that the technician went to the hardware store to get the lightbulbs the job needed.
We had a wonderful experience working with them on our pantry doors! Initially, custom-made doors were going to be quite expensive and well over our budget. They came up with a brilliant, cost-effective solution—having us purchase doors in a standard size that they could then trim to fit our space. The doors were installed with exceptional precision and attention to detail. Everything was done so carefully, and the final result looks absolutely beautiful! We truly appreciated their creativity, workmanship, and willingness to find a solution that worked within our budget. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and great service.
SURV fixed our aging and well-used favorite play structure so it’s now safe for our 7 young grand kids. The renovation included adding a new roof, reinforcing and strengthening the slide, and repointing structure. The 2 carpenters (father & son) took their time to make sure everything was perfect and strong. The price for their work, including picking up the needed supplies at Home Depot, was very reasonable.
The movers were excellent but Letty who responded to my request was even better. She explored multiple options for my move and was so responsive! I’ll use Surv again for my next move!
Great work - great crew!
Recently hired this company to complete some tasks in my apartment. The entire crew did a wonderful job. They arrived on time and were very professional. The pricing was within reason too. I would definitely hire them back to complete any upcoming projects.
