Our numerous years of experience, great attention to detail, friendly service, and all around dedication to our work and customers make us a great choice for anyone looking to have work done on their house, business, apartment, or condo.

"Ortolani & Sons painted our house and did some carpentry to replace rotted wood and shingles. Throughout the process, Chris kept me updated and was always available to answer my questions and point out what needed to be done. The prep work was very thorough. Chris's attention to detail such as securing and painting wires as well as cleaning and painting the rod iron railings enhanced the final result. The house looks great. I highly recommend Ortolani & Sons for your painting needs."

"I couldn’t be happier with the work from AML Landscaping! They removed a large tree and trimmed several shrubs around my yard, and the results are outstanding. The crew was professional, punctual, and friendly. Their pricing was very fair, and they left everything spotless when they were done. It’s rare to find a company that combines skill, efficiency, and genuine kindness — but these folks nailed it. My yard has never looked this clean and professional. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-quality tree and landscaping work!"

Cromer Remodeling, your trusted partner for all your building and remodeling needs in Boston. With our expert plastering services and no subcontractors, we deliver exceptional results. Contact us today!

"Installed two heavy window air conditioners, lugging them up from garage under to first floor. Appt was scheduled for 9:30 am, called them at 10:15 and unfortunately the owner had had a very bad night with his mother in hospice care. Finally came at 11:20. They were willing to wear masks inside our house. Installation went very quickly and smoothly. They knocked $25 off their usual minimum hourly rate because of the delay. Very friendly, would definitely hire them again (and probably will for A/C removal in the Fall). Would have been 5 stars except for the arrival delay."

Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

From drywall repair to fixture installations, pros address diverse home maintenance needs.

It’s worth asking a handyperson a few questions before hiring to ensure they’re the right person for the job:

  • Are you licensed and insured?

  • Do you have any references?

  • Will you provide a written estimate and contract?

  • How much do you expect materials to cost?

  • How long do you expect the project to take?

  • Do you have any questions about the projects on my list?

  • Do you provide a guarantee for the job?

A handyperson is the professional term used to describe professional fixers who can tackle a wide range of general home repairs. Some pros may prefer to use the term handyworker, handyman, or handywoman, so we recommend politely asking your pro how they would like you to identify them during the project.

The average handyperson charges $50 to $150 per hour. The exact amount varies based on several factors, including where you live, the difficulty of the job, and the handyperson’s level of experience. Other factors like the cost of travel, permits, and materials might come into play, too. Customers should also anticipate a minimum flat rate of around two hours of work for a handyperson to agree to a job.

If a contractor is in breach of your contract, sometimes it is possible to collect damages for unreasonable delays. However, such claims can be expensive and difficult to prove. If there’s a way to complete the work and maybe negotiate for a discount for some of the inconvenience, that might be a simpler and cheaper way to resolve any disputes.
