TG Handyman Boston

TG Handyman Boston is a small Dorchester operation run by a handyman customers call Timmee, and the jobs people keep describing aren't the usual shelf-and-faucet fare — they're brick and stone. A tree pit with a rat grid built into it, a chimney pointed with its walkway and stairs redone: the masonry work is what recent Google reviewers single out, and it's where the sharpest praise lands. On Google, the business carries a 4.9 average across 11 ratings, and the last six months have been uniformly positive — nine recent reviews, none negative. Beyond the brickwork, the everyday handyman range shows up too: a TV mounted, three grills installed, siding and an exterior drain pipe patched after a rough winter, an appliance handled same-day. Two themes recur. They answer fast, including after hours — one homeowner had them out at night for an out-of-reach CO2 alarm. And they clean up daily, which more than one reviewer mentions without being asked. Pricing gets called reasonable or competitive across several of these jobs. What's worth knowing before you call: the history is short and thin. All 11 reviews date from 2025 onward, and most sit on a single platform — Google — with just two more on Angi. That's a consistent, recent, positive picture, but not a deep one, so ask for references on a job like yours. The Angi 'Approved' badge on the listing is a background-screening mark, not a Massachusetts contractor license, and no state license turns up alongside it — confirm licensing and insurance directly before any work that needs a permit. For small-to-mid repairs around a Dorchester or South Shore home — especially brickwork, chimney pointing, or masonry patching — this is a reasonable call, with the fair caveat that you'd be an early customer in a short but clean track record.
