# Thank You Handyman

**Trade:** Handyman · **Address:** 500 Washington St, Dedham, MA 02026, USA · **Phone:** (781) 801-3718 · **Website:** http://www.thank-you-handyman.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 5.0/5** (high confidence) — from 128 reviews across 5 sources.
100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 5 reviews, 0 negative.

## The honest read

Thank You Handyman is Bruce Terzian working solo out of Dedham, and his Google page holds a 5.0★ average across 186 ratings — an unusually clean record for anyone who's been in business since at least 2021. A Reddit thread asking for West Roxbury contractor recommendations named him directly in June 2026.

The range of what one person handles is wide. In a 2022 review, a customer listed a drywall job, several paint jobs, a carpentry job and a window repair all done under one guaranteed, task-based quote. In a 2024 review, another spent five days having Bruce renovate a bathroom — waterproof board on the lower walls, repainted upper walls and cabinets — after using him for prior jobs; that same year he replaced an attic ladder and built a protective rim inside a tub-shower, and painted a home's front and side doors, deck trim, and rotten back-stair boards in one visit. More recently, reviewers describe him replacing attic stairs with careful attention to alignment and fixing a chewed baseboard, a water-stained ceiling, and basement ceiling patches in the same trip. Several customers say they've called him back more than once, and more than one credits him with steering them away from an idea that wasn't the right fix — in a 2025 review, he 'advised against some of our ideas' when quoting a cat-door install, a window repair, and a TV mount.

His BBB page is an A+ with zero complaints on file, and recent activity — five reviews in the past six months, none negative — is thinner than the all-time pace simply because he's one person, not a sign of a slowdown. Nothing in the record raises a real concern.

Thank You Handyman fits the backlog of small jobs a homeowner keeps meaning to get to — a door that won't latch, a patch of drywall, a room that needs painting — more than a full remodel. Given it's a one-person operation, confirm his current schedule before counting on a specific date.

**Strengths:**
- Job walkthroughs — explains scope and pricing before starting
- Repeat customers — many return for job after job over years
- Honest scoping — steers customers away from the wrong fix
- BBB record — A+ rating with zero complaints filed
