Taft-Pearman, Inc. trades as Surv of Needham and Norwood, a six-person home-services outfit based in Westwood that takes on the running list of jobs most homeowners never get to. Its Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration, number 217652, is verified as active in the state registry, and Thumbtack shows the same number with Leticia Taft-Pearman as the licence holder, verified in March 2026. The work is deliberately broad rather than specialised: gutter and roof cleaning, deck and porch repair, general carpentry, window cleaning, pressure washing, painting, furniture assembly, holiday lighting, yard and lawn care. The company also describes helping seniors stay safely in their homes, from handy work and decluttering to yard work and tech support. Every review on file is recent and five stars. In June 2026 a homeowner had roof and gutter cleaning plus chicken wire and latticework fitted around a deck base and called it "all done professionally at a fair price"; another that month praised a quick booking reply, clear communication beforehand, and service that was "on time and within estimate". A July 2026 customer described a yard "that had gone almost feral" cleaned up thoroughly. Several mention politeness and multiple small projects handled in one visit. The caveat is history, not conduct: the whole visible record is 17 Thumbtack ratings, and the five readable reviews all date from mid-2026, so there is little to show how the company handles a job that goes wrong. It covers towns south and west of Boston — Newton, Wellesley and Needham through Canton and Norwood — so confirm your town is served, and get the multi-task list and price in writing before the crew arrives.
They did a great job cleaning up a yard that had gone almost feral, very thorough. Very agreeable people to work with, no complaints.
First time using Surv of Needham & Norwood and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Roof and gutter cleaning along with putting up chicken wire and latticework around the base of my deck - all done professionally at a fair price.
Quick reply to my request to book. Great communication prior to appointment. Service was excellent, on time and within estimate. Im so glad I found them and will definitely call again when needed. Thank you to allthe hard and friendly workers!
I was so pleased that all of my projects were taken care of so well! These gentlemen were very polite and did a professional job. I highly recommend them!
Great experience from the first visit when they looked at the work I needed done and when they came the second time to complete the two projects. Thank you so much!
