Williams Landscaping Handyman Service

Williams Landscaping Handyman Service is a New Bedford business run by Whynton, who a 2021 community feature named alongside his wife as fellow small-business owners in the city. The clearest praise sits in two 2020 reviews: one homeowner said he cleared 200 feet of heavy overgrowth along a property line, showed up on time, and cleaned up afterward, calling him "a real find"; another called a landscaping job prompt and high quality enough to become a repeat customer. Things get more complicated after that. A 2020 review said a job was left unfinished while more money kept getting asked for. A 2022 review described someone who worked in short 30-45 minute stretches, requested payment upfront, and never finished the job. And the most recent written account, from 2023, was for a different kind of job — installing vinyl flooring, a wall, and a tiled shower — and described uneven flooring and warped, misaligned tile that would need to be redone. That split is worth noticing before booking: the positive reviews are about outdoor landscaping and cleanup, while the complaints cluster around larger interior jobs and money changing hands before the work was done. Its HomeAdvisor and Angi listings, which mirror the same reviews, put the overall rating at 4.2 from 16 total ratings, though only five carry written detail. For yard cleanup, brush clearing, or routine lawn and power-washing work, these accounts point in his favor. For anything bigger — flooring, tiling, structural work — get a clear scope and a payment schedule in writing, and hold off on paying in full before the job is done.
