Westwood Handyman is a one-person operation run by Orest Llagaci out of 616 Hartford Street in Westwood, Massachusetts, doing the kind of small jobs a homeowner calls a handyman for rather than a specialty trade — installing a dishwasher, replacing weatherstripping, fixing a stuck door, hanging a grab bar by the front steps. The reviews that exist tell a consistent story: customers name Orest directly and describe him showing up, finishing the job, and calling back afterward to confirm it was done right. In a 2018 review, one customer described getting a storm door fixed over a holiday weekend after it had sat broken for two years; another, in 2019, called him able to work around the quirks of an older home while installing a new dishwasher. Worth knowing before calling: the written record is dated, running from 2018 through a January 2020 complaint, with nothing more recent on file. That 2020 review describes a day-rate billing dispute, and Angi's own page notes it involved threatening behavior toward the reviewer. Westwood Handyman looks like a fit for smaller household fixes and installs around Westwood, but given how old the record is and that one serious complaint, it's worth asking around locally or confirming current availability before booking.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Westwood Handyman. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
A day rate replaces the task list — usually the better deal once the list gets long.
Estimated range
$220 – $850
Typical handyman visit around $540
Quoted me $500 for the day to work. Ended up getting a flat tire and could not work until after lunch. Had to come back later in the week to finish and ended up charging me several hundred dollars on top of the $500 for the job. Ended up correcting my balance and charging me the correct amount eventually. However, he just called me up and told me if I didn't remove my review that he will "find you [me] and get you [me] motherf*****". With a temper like this I would not trust again in any of my properties. Not sure how many other people he threatened that actually removed their reviews so his rating could be artificially higher than what it should be.
Orest and his partner were professional, and did a very good job in painting our windows and deck. Orest was quick to quote the price and complete the work. He also provided useful advise beyond the work. We would be happy to hire them again.
Mr. Liagaci was wonderful. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, courteous and he completed the job on time. In my 23 years of home ownership he is the best handyman I've come across. I highly recommend Mr. Llagaci.
Orest was very knowledgeable and helpful in answering my questions. He was able to trouble shoot the quirks of an older home to make the installation of my new dishwasher a breeze!
Came as promised and did the job well. Also, was very neat.
