Tony Spahiu runs In Need of a Handyman, a Wakefield-area handyman business the company says takes on bathroom, kitchen and outdoor remodeling work. A Reddit poster in mid-2026 said a roughly $10,000 job went well after they picked him for his lower price on a small-scope project, and in 2024 and 2025 posts other Reddit users called his work great, with one saying he'd done a lot of work for their in-laws in Melrose. A mid-2026 Nextdoor post told a different story, alleging poor-quality tile work, an unfinished bathroom remodel and no cleanup, and said the business also operates under the name Krenar Spahiu.
“we ended up going with a local guy named Tony Spahiu we found recommended since he was cheaper and we had limited scope and disnt need all the paperwork or detailed plans. Overall it went well, total about $10k.”
“Tony Spahiu HANDYMAN [Mobile] +16178885997 Tony is great!”
“Tony Spahiu (617) 888-5997. He has done a lot of work for my in-laws on Florence Street.”
“Tony Spahiu (6178885997 - not sure if he has a website) just did some work for us and was great!”
“Just a warning not to use Tony Spahiu, company called "In Need of Handyman", also goes by Krenar Spahiu, who responded to this request. Bathroom Remodel: He is dishonest, poor quality work, doesn't finish, and is very difficult to work with, used wrong tile, never cleaned up spattered plaster, sawdust etc. and left damage to walls, warped wall, dumped old sheetrock from gut in my backyard, caught him going through my cabinets and drawers in my kitchen (wasn't doing work on kitchen), etc, etc.”
