"The job went well, very brief and surprisingly inexpensive. (I understand everyone has to live, so I expected to pay for a livelihood, but I was delighted to have my wallet only lightly crimped.) Bertie Walsh arrived around the agreed time.  I gave him the two grab bars the VA decided I needed in my bathing area, an old retired vet in a wheelchair, like me. I live alone, in a condo, so I needed a handyman to install them.
I'm glad I had a professional person install them because, even if I were fit, I surely would have botched the job. This place was cut up into condos in 1987. It used to be just a red brick factory-- originally constructed around the turn of the 20th century to work with Brockton by making those metal lacing eyelets for boots. They used metal--not plywood--when they cut the factory into apartments like mine (Bertie Walsh later explained to me). If I were doing the job myself I would have been expecting wooden studs behind the tile--which would have been full of exploratory holes when I got done.
So, I pointed to the bathroom, assured myself that Bertie Walsh had all he needed, and went to finish watching the program I had on, wondering what I had to offer Mr. Walsh when he broke for lunch soon. How pleased I was when that time arrived and he said the job was done and that I only owed him $50!
Bertie Walsh explained to me that the grab bars were firm, but that he had to install them in the metal. Should they loosen, over time, do not risk injury, by all means call him.

"I have done a lot of research into soundproofing and had a quite a few contractors stop by for an evaluation and a quote over the past couple years, and Robert stood out with his friendly demeanor, level of knowledge, and being easy to talk to; he seemed to have good experience in soundproofing and actually knew soundproofing concepts I'd read up on earlier (surprisingly many other drywall contractors were either evasive in rating their confidence in their proposed projects or simply did not have good plans or knowledge of options). He worked with me on a plan to redo a wall separating my bedroom from noisy neighbors, and the result is excellent! Robert and his team have turned a single stud wall into a decoupled double stud wall, with all the right elements for soundproofing, such as quality insulation, acoustic caulk and dampening compound (both by Green Glue), socket putty, etc. Robert's choice of materials was well informed, and the quality of his work was very good, neat, and precise. I could tell he enjoys doing his work well. He cleaned up after the job was done, and the new wall was perfectly plastered--all I had left to do was to paint (which I enjoy doing myself). The total expense was very reasonable for the cost of materials and labor. I also appreciated that Robert always kept me up-to-date on his schedule and coordinated his visits--great communication. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the experience and glad that I found Robert and his team! I can heartily recommend his services for your drywall and related projects! I'd like to also note for general reference that soundproofing is a global project: learn the weak areas where the sound travels--it's frequently not just your walls, but also through your floors and through your ceilings, including from neighbors on the same floor as you! You may think that just fixing one area will solve everything, but sound wave propagation needs to be considered from all directions/sources, and week areas need to be identified: e.g. you may need to redo your wall and your floor, for example, or your wall and your ceiling, or all 3 at once, depending on your exact needs and situation."

"????? Joe did an awesome job mounting my TV on the wall. He was professional, showed up on time, worked efficiently, and made sure everything was level, secure, and looked clean when he was finished. The whole process was easy and the TV came out perfect. I?d definitely recommend Joe to anyone who needs a TV mounted or other handyman work done."

Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

Homeowners in Gloucester should account for salt air and humidity, which can accelerate material wear, so opt for weather-resistant products and proper ventilation. Historic district guidelines may limit certain updates, and summer tourism can affect contractor schedules and parking. Some areas face flooding or water pressure issues, so consulting local experts familiar with Gloucester’s neighborhoods helps ensure your handyman service project is well-planned.

Helpful?

In Gloucester, handyman service contractors often specialize in areas such as coastal repairs, historic home restoration, and seasonal weatherproofing. Some focus on vacation property maintenance or storm damage response, while others are skilled in moisture control for waterfront homes. Choosing a handyman service pro with experience in Gloucester’s unique coastal and historic challenges ensures your project is handled with local expertise.

Helpful?

Your Gloucester home is a strong candidate for handyman service if you need repairs, seasonal upkeep, or weatherproofing. Older homes, like those in the Rocky Neck or Annisquam areas, often require specialized care, while newer properties suit standard handyman tasks. Look for signs of salt air damage, foundation moisture, or storm-related roof wear. Waterfront and historic homes especially benefit from pros with local preservation experience.

Helpful?

When hiring handyman service pros in Gloucester, focus on their experience with local historic homes and knowledge of coastal weather impacts. Ask for references from Gloucester projects, and check if they’ve worked in neighborhoods like East Gloucester or Lanesville. Confirm they carry proper insurance, understand local building codes, and are familiar with historic district restrictions. Comparing multiple quotes helps you gauge typical Gloucester service expectations.

Helpful?

To ensure a smooth handyman service project in Gloucester, review any permit or historic district requirements before starting. Schedule work during spring or fall to avoid summer congestion and limited contractor availability. Plan for possible material delivery delays due to Cape Ann’s location. Consider parking restrictions in older neighborhoods and have emergency contacts ready, especially before storm season, to address urgent repairs quickly.
