Weymouth Handyman

Thirty years on the job, by the company's own count, and still one person doing it: Chris runs Weymouth Handyman, and the site gives the contact simply as "Chris the Weymouth Handyman Service." Most of the work is the ordinary stuff a house needs — repairs and small home-improvement jobs. The bigger end is bathroom and basement remodeling, which the site says he takes on across the South Shore. Two things are worth settling on the first call. The site names Weymouth as its service area while describing work out across the South Shore, so confirm your town is in range; and since it is one person taking on both the repair list and the remodel, ask how he schedules a job that runs weeks rather than hours. A sensible call for a South Shore homeowner who would rather have the same person handle the punch list and the bathroom or basement project than juggle two outfits — settle scope, price and start date up front.
