We had a 32 year old deck with good underlying structure but badly in need of resurfacing. We wanted to go with a low maintenance Trex product and White pvc railing. Handy and some quote was competive and work on deck was superlative. Finished Deck looked better than original deck ever did with white pvc lattice surround and framing. Team was good to deal with and commucation was excellent. Project got town building permit which gave us more confidence, with Handy and Some handling the process. I have a vacation home in Maine with 2 decks and would have no hesitation hiring them again if they would travel that far and the price was competitive.

We have worked with a number of contractors over the years. Sean and his team were outstanding and we would highly recommend them. They were always very professional, communicative, reliable, clear about costs, very patient answering questions and attentive to finding the best solutions.

Sean is an absolute gem in the contractor world honest, responsive, upfront about costs, knowledgeable about the industry and materials, and well-connected to skilled sub-contractors. He came highly recommended and because of his extensive experience we were immediately comfortable with him. We appreciated the information and transparency he provided in the budget and how he walked us through different material types, including pros and cons of various cabinets, flooring, lighting, etc. Sean also brainstormed creative ideas, such as helping us change a space of kitchen that was not utilized into a workspace with glass cabinets. He took on the challenging task of renovating the kitchen in our intergenerational home. During this renovation process, every step of the way he was incredibly patient in explaining the process and providing updates to all of us; this often meant additional visits or correspondence on his end, which he was happy to do so. Also during the renovation, he kept in touch daily with any changes as well as updates to the scheduling. He was responsive when we asked for modifications to the paint color or wanted an add-on during the process. All of his workers including Ronnie and Larry were not only highly skilled at their craft, but they were also diligent and respectful. We are extremely pleased with selecting Sean and will be using him for other projects ahead as well as recommending him to all of our friends and family!

Sean did not complete the job as contracted then got belligerent when asked about deficiencies Became quite sarcastic in his follow up contacts to the point where I had to block him

"Hahaha, nothing better to do in your retirement Peter? On New Years eve no less? One a job we did back in June? You need to be careful when you post reviews as to make them accurate. We did the siding job for you and you told me what a great job we did and paid me in full. Weeks after we finished you told me we missed a row of nails which were not see due to the stagging being in place. We came out and took care of it as soon as we were able but since it had been raining out for weeks, it was not the day after you told me about it. I was far from belligerent to you and only sarcastic when you said you were going to take back your excellent review you gave us and replace it with a negative one because we didnt go the next day after your review threat. Anyways, hope you enjoy your retirement. Seems like you may need a hobby. BTW, you live in Georgetown, why did you change this to Haverhill? Just so you could publish another review? I wish I could post our text message chain."

Sean and his team were responsive to any issues, communicated well so we always knew what next steps were and they did a very nice job on our kitchen. Sean resolved issues quickly and followed through to correct or fix those little issues that arose. For example, he promptly reordered a couple items that either had a flaw or were damaged in shipping. His team of electricians, tilers, floor refinishers, etc. were great and did a great job. Good communication all along. We are very happy with our new kitchen!

10/8/21 Sean and his Crew were great to work with. Because of the Covid supply problems, we had a long wait to begin. But we all worked together to make my beautiful kitchen area happen. Don’t waste your time on any other Contractor, because Sean can do it all for you. He is professional, reliable, caring, and he is really so proud to complete your project the way that you want it and make you happy. Most importantly, he was always available by text or phone to answer any concerns you have. I also want to thank his Crew who were all great, hard working guys that helped me cope during the entire project. We had a lot of fun too. Thank you Darren, Jason, Kyle, Ronnie, Larry and Zack. Just give Sean a call. You won’t be disappointed!

Company from Owner(Sean) to his employees are knowledgeable, professional, on task and on time, affordable price and Veteran friendly business. For our first experience with a contractor, it was a pleasure. From Demo to final product no major issues. Would highly recommend Handy and Some, LLC to friends/family and fellow Veterans! Will hire again!

This being our first experience with a contractor, we could not have been more happy with our selection. Sean and his team are professional, trustful, fair pricing, identified issues on the walk through, flexible to scheduling, friendly to Veterans and fast at their craft. We did an entire demo and remodeling of the bathroom, kitchen, flooring (bath, kitchen and hallway) as well as 6 foot wall gap and reinforcing support beam. Pricing was within budge and the contract was detail. Payment was made weekly with detail sub-billing, that made it easy to review work and mark progress. Continue communication made it easy to id issues, coordinate purchases of items and keep up with timeline. Sean even went out of his way to assist me when pipes froze during weekend that my husband was away on business which save potential damage to the home. We highly recommend Handy and Some, LLC for any project you have in mind and we will reach out to them on all of our future projects. I am wicked happy with my bathroom and kitchen. Thank you Sean, the team and Handy and Some, LLC

Sean and his crew are truly Professionals within this Industry. Courteous, Friendly, Responsive and produce Excellent Quality Workmanship. By far, Sean and his crew are the best I have ever had the opportunity to hire for a major construction project that resulted in a comfort level knowing that everything was being handled properly. Construction is a challenging venture when putting on an Addition to an existing dwelling. There are many obstacles and challenges that can be faced throughout the project and within the home. Sean and his Team went over and above and addressed each challenge professionally and with timely resolution. I couldn't ask for any better service and results! The addition came out beautiful, I have an awesome Garage and my Wife is ecstatic with her new Mud Room and Pantry! I would recommend Hand and Some for any project that you may need.

"I expect all people to share their honest experience with potential customers. I pride myself on our quality and service and offer the best price possible which allows me to be competitive and profitable. Obviously some contractors can be better priced as they do not have the same overhead as I do. This is a difficult business and has a lot of moving parts and I do my best to make it all come together as painlessly as possible for my customers. That said, I discounted your price, gave you extras at little to no mark up and frankly had to put up with your very inappropriate behavior. Its not often I am called a liar and it is one thing I am not and I believe you threw my yard signs away because you didnt want them on your lawn. If you could not wait for us to get to your project, I offered your small deposit back and you could have went elsewhere. Although I am not sure who you would have found that would not have had the same back log I do if they were any good at what they do. If you had went with someone else, I am certain they would not have put up with your repeated calls and texts at all hours of the day and night and during the weekends. Your behavior is why I needed to push back on you and I assume is why I was given a 3.5 rating for service. This is not really of great concern to me as I have hundreds of customers who would not agree with you and I think you did this just to be spiteful. That is poor if true and something I do not take lightly as this is how I feed my family and all of my employees families. What I am totally not understanding to is why you want us to do more projects for you? Why would you if you were not totally satisfied with what we did? Your review actually brought my overall rating on Home Advisor down and would have been better for me not to have asked you for a review. Had the job gone badly and I didnt do what I was contracted to do, I would expect a low rating from you. I thought given the challenges, we went above and beyond to deliver a superior product for you. Clearly I was wrong. We have satisfied our contract with you and signed off (and complimented) by the building inspector. I have no obligation to you at this point and I really think it would be best for you to find someone else to do your shed project or any future work we discussed."

Sean and everyone on his team was very professional, friendly and communicative. We changed scope a couple times and they provided good recommendations and advice. We redid our kitchen, taking down 2 load bearing walls, as well as two bath makeovers, floors and paint. We have had problems dealing with less than professional contractors in the past and this was an excellent experience for us. I would highly recommend Sean to my friends.
