True-Craft gets called for the jobs a box store can't solve. In a March 2023 review, a homeowner whose house was built in 1856 needed a base cabinet for a sink tucked into a small pantry, with the old sink staying put; Tom came over, talked through what they wanted, and built it to fit. That kind of work runs through the Google reviews, where the Franklin company holds a 5-star average across 15 ratings. A February 2023 customer hired Tom twice — first to knock out cabinet space for a gas stove and pull an in-wall oven, then to make and install new cabinet doors. In April 2023 another replaced a rotting riser beneath the front door, and Tom squared the door and weatherproofed it in the same visit: "No more drafts!" Several reviewers describe hiring him again and again, for exterior trim, cabinet modifications and general carpentry. He takes on bigger projects too. A January 2025 review describes a kitchen and two bathrooms repaired after a water leak, with Tom coordinating the other trades and building a custom island extension himself. Another January 2025 customer met him while he was repairing a neighbor's windows and then had him give seven of their own windows an exterior facelift. A January 2026 reviewer praised the attention to detail on recent work at their property. The paperwork is straightforward: the Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #204319, is active on the state registry under True-Craft Handyman Service, Inc. The Better Business Bureau grades the Franklin corporation A+ and lists four years in business and one employee, and the company's own site covers remodeling, finish carpentry, repairs, installations, windows and doors, with Tom and Andrew as the named contacts. If your list is trim, doors, cabinets and the repairs that need a craftsman rather than a crew, this is a strong fit — and reviewers say he also runs larger kitchen and bath work with subcontractors under him. Ask for a start date and a written scope before you commit, and confirm current insurance for anything structural.
Highly recommend True Craft. Tom worked on our property recently. Fantastic attention to detail and top quality finished product. We are delighted with his work!
Tom managed a large repair of our kitchen and 2 bathrooms after a water leak. He did an excellent job managing the contractors and the work he performed himself, including a customer island extension was top notch. I would recommend True-Craft to anyone.
I was fortunate to come across Tom, the owner of True-Craft Handyman Services while he was repairing my neighbor’s windows. From that moment, I knew he was the person I needed for my projects. Tom gave seven of my windows an exterior facelift, and his craftsmanship was impeccable. Initially, I didn't expect to work with him much, but his expertise quickly proved invaluable. During my new flooring installation, he closed the gaps on the finish work seamlessly. When I updated my kitchen cabinet hinges, he meticulously realigned the new knife-edge hinges. He also cleaned up the front door sill before our granite steps were installed, readjusted interior doors, added a handrail in my stairway, and fixed the lock on my kitchen slider that a painter had incorrectly reassembled. Tom even fixed up trim work after a plumber installed our shower. His modern trailer, which serves as his mobile workshop, is a testament to his readiness and efficiency. Here’s why I’ll keep working with Tom: - **Personable**: He’s friendly and approachable. - **Dependable**: You can count on him to show up and get the job done. - **Trustworthy**: His work is top-notch, and he stands by it. - **Thorough**: He completes each job with great attention to detail. I feel lucky to have found Tom and am looking forward to all the projects we have lined up. True-Craft Handyman Services is a gem! TB
Tom did an outstanding job replacing a rotting riser beneath the front door but also went above and beyond by squaring the door and weatherproofing. No more drafts! He's professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and personable. We're glad we found him!
Tom’s work is incredible very conscious to detail in every sense of the word. He is professional conscientious on time and we couldn’t be more pleased. We had an issue with the refrigerator in our cabinet. I thought we were doomed Tom came in in less than two hours corrected the problem you never knew the cabinet was touched. I highly recommend Tom and his company in every every way, we will definitely be using Tom going forward
