The New England House Doctor is a home-repair business that holds 4.8 stars from 44 Google ratings and 4.8 stars from 188 ratings on HomeAdvisor. A recent Google customer called about a crumbling front porch and a removable dog fence across the driveway; Roland returned the call the same day, gave the name of a mason for the porch, and came up with a solution for the fence at a reasonable price to install. A recent customer says Roland patched a ceiling. A 2025 customer said he assessed a window problem and fixed it immediately. In a 2021 review, a customer said Roland repaired a garage door that lacked a counterbalance and a fence that needed new hinges; that 2021 customer said the repairs took about 5 hours, 1 more than he anticipated, and he stuck to his quote. A 2021 customer said Roland installed a wrought iron railing inside the front door area and cleaned up after. A 2021 customer said Roland finished the remaining work on a kitchen that someone else had left unfinished. A 2020 customer said he removed and replaced wooden cedar shingles on the exterior of the home. A 2020 customer who hired Roland to install a Murphy bed, desk and cabinet combo wrote that the trim was not lined up and screws stripped the wood, and that an email about it went unanswered. A 2020 customer wrote that they fired him because he never showed up when he said he would.
Great price and work was extremely professional would recommend 10/10 times.
Kindest and knowledgeable man. Patched my ceiling- looks incredible.Price great. Thank you Roland.
I called New England House Doctor to see if I could get a quote on fixing my crumbling front porch, and to see if they could come up with a creative way to install a removable dog fence across my driveway. Roland returned my call the same day, fit me in the following week (even moving my original appt from Friday to Monday because he had an opening), and was very knowledgable when he came. He gave me the name of a mason to fix my porch (with great advice on what to ask for), and he came up with a great solution for my dog fence, with a reasonable price to install it. I'm very happy with New England House Doctor's work and will be calling Roland to have additional repairs done around the house. I would recommend them to anyone needing an honest, reasonably priced handyperson who not only knows his stuff, but also knows when to hand a job off to someone else who might have the right skills for it. To me, that's huge.
Roland did such an excellent job of explaining what needed to be done and how. He finished up very quickly and I am very happy with the results.
We highly recommend Roland. He was timely, friendly, and fair. He quickly and accurately assessed our window problem, and fixed it immediately. We intend to seek him out again in the future.
