Worcester Handyman Pro

Ray Crawford has been running Worcester Handyman Pro since 1997, and the list of what he takes on is long: painting, flooring, tile and plaster, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, basement restorations, concrete and masonry walkways, and deck, fence and siding repair. That range is the appeal. It is an owner-operated outfit working Worcester, Shrewsbury, Auburn, Millbury, Leicester, Paxton and Princeton, and it takes commercial property maintenance alongside the house calls. Crawford puts his own time in the trade at over 25 years; the business is listed at 29. Google gives it a 5.0 from three ratings, the Better Business Bureau grades it A+, and Angi lists free estimates. For a mixed list around central Massachusetts — a room to paint, tile to set, a deck rail and a walkway to fix — one person covering all of it is the reason to call. Before booking, ask which parts Crawford does himself and which he subs out, confirm the Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration that covers the remodeling and basement work, and get the estimate in writing.
