Tim's Handyman Service

Twenty-one years running, and reviewers describe Tim's Handyman Service in a way that keeps surprising itself: "he's more of a general contractor than a handyman." Tim Heroux has run the sole proprietorship out of Braintree since 2005, according to both the company's own site and its BBB listing, working window replacement, kitchen and bathroom work, roofing, and basement finishing across the South Shore. The 30 Google reviews on file, nearly all five stars, sketch a business built on long relationships rather than one-off jobs — several customers describe using Tim for a decade or more, across roofs, windows, decks, and porches. In a 2024 review, one homeowner listed siding, two kitchen renovations, two bathrooms and two walkways done at two different houses over the years; another, also from 2024, described a whole-house remodel with a new kitchen, two bathrooms, outdoor stonework, and stairs. A more recent pair of reviews from June 2026 has the crew blocking porch eaves to keep birds from nesting and building a new deck staircase and railing section after the old one rotted out. Named crew members — Eddie, Blake, Bruce — show up across different jobs, suggesting a small team beyond Tim himself. BBB lists the business as not accredited and not formally rated, but also shows no complaints on file. Nothing in what customers describe points to a dispute, a licensing problem, or a government action. For a homeowner in Braintree or the South Shore who wants one contractor for a range of jobs — a leaking roof, rotted trim, an outdated kitchen — rather than juggling separate specialists, this is a long-tenured option with a genuine repeat-customer base. Get a clear scope and price in writing before a larger project, since the reviews describe broad capability more than any one specialty.
