Universal Handymen is a Roslindale outfit homeowners call for the odd list of small jobs no single trade covers — a range hood vent, paint and trim, a kitchen refresh, an emergency plumbing or electrical fix. Its own site lists tiling, flooring, painting, decking, masonry, carpentry, door installation, and 24/7 emergency plumbing, electrical, and handyman calls alongside its core handyman work. A recent review, from August 2026, says the same thing customers have been saying for years: responsive, expert, able to knock out several unrelated jobs in one visit. The pattern runs deeper than one review — 28 Google ratings sit at a perfect 5 stars, and the specifics back it up. A 2025 review credits the crew with a range hood vent installation, paint and trim, and a demolition job, each priced fairly and finished promptly. In a 2024 review, a homeowner said their kitchen project was finished exactly as quoted and came out better than they'd hoped. The most striking account, from 2023, is a landlord who says she has run over $300,000 of work through the company across five years managing 50 rental units, without ever feeling cheated — the kind of repeat business a one-job crew doesn't earn. Most of the written record clusters in 2023, with only scattered reviews since — worth knowing that the bulk of the testimony is a few years old even though the newest review is positive. Nothing in what's shown here raises a licensing, safety, or complaint concern. For a mixed punch-list, a kitchen or bath job, or an after-hours plumbing or electrical call, this is a company with a genuine multi-year track record — just confirm current availability and pricing before booking, since the deepest reviews describe work done a few years back.

David is the best. He is responsive, professional, and expert. I had three different needs in the house, and he took care of all of them in no time.
I’ve hired David and his guys for several projects, including a range hood vent installation, paint and trim, and demolition. Each time, the work was priced fairly, completed promptly, and with great results. I’d highly recommend Universal Handymen!
Choosing David and his team was the best decision for our kitchen project. David took our vision and turned it into reality, exceeding our expectations in every way. David and his team were professional, efficient and neat. Job was done as quoted and finished on time. The end results are better than we hoped for and our new kitchen is beautiful. We can’t wait to work with David on our future renovations.
Highly recommended for the price, quick service and good quality of workmanship. Moreover, I used them for several projects over the years and I found David and his team are talented and very dependable.
Great contractor and team. Super responsive and professional. Will work with them for my future needs
