Local Door Repair and Installation Services in Natick, Massachusetts

Greg was awesome, polite and really efficient. Took it upon himself to take note of some other things that I was unaware of that needed to be fixed. Appreciated the experience. Highly recommended.

When I called to hire the handyman, the person on the phone warned me that sometimes exterior rot is like peeling an onion. What an onion! The visible rot was on the weather side of the house on a clapboard chimney. After a little excavation, it soon became clear that this was a much bigger project. Water has been leaking into that chimney for some time and the rot on its base was incredible. Four of five joists holding up the fire box and the entire chimney were rotted to within a few inches of the foundation. Worse, it appears that the previous owners dressed up the problem before selling us the house five years ago. The crew from Mr. Handyman Central MetroWest was terrific. They removed the rotted wood and essentially rebuilt the chimney's base, tying it into the existing, solid joists; cut out the other jerry-rigged fix the previous owners had attempted, and rebuilt the frame of the chimney; and then resided the chimney. That sounds simple, but it was a major job–definitely well beyond what I was capable of and worth every nickle we spent on it. The guys working on the project were professional in every sense of the word. They were dutiful–there wasn't really anytime I didn't hear them hammering, sawing, drilling, etc. They were on time. They were polite. They cleaned up every day of a three-day project. And they did the little things that make the difference between getting the job done and really solving the problem for us. They even built a shelf for a dehumidifier under an adjacent crawl space, solving another problem for us before it really became a big one. To top it all off, they replaced a couple of other rotten pieces of trim. Last summer, I brought out a couple of contractors to look at the rot and they all said the work was too small for them. I wonder if they would have agreed if they knew what the project became. And in honesty, the reality of paying by the hour for a project like this is not something I would have planned to do. But once the extent of the problem was there for me to see, we had to solve it–getting three quotes from other providers wasn't really an option. The bottom line is this: I am extremely happy with the work Mr. Handyman of Central Metro West did. The cost was more than I had planned on going in–but that was the function of the size of the problem and what it would take to fix it.

Jeff from Mr.Handyman was professional and courteous upon arrival.I showed him the issues and he went right to work.i was extremely Happy with his work.He went over some other projects I asked him about and he made some suggestions which I appreciated..I look forward to working with Jeff and Mr.Handyman again

Mark out of MetroWest was great. On time, friendly, listened, fixed a stuck Lazy Susan cabinet and a rocking chair, and the price was very reasonable for an hour's work. (Updated) Just had John out to paint our bathroom ceiling and fix a broken drawer. Professional and friendly, which is what I have come to expect from Mr. Handyman MetroWest and all their great staff.

Got a call back they are 24 extremely busy!!
