Kevin did a great job! On time, very nice/thoughtful, and high-quality work that exceeded our expectations. Will definitely ask for him the next time.

I really didn't want to write this review but, if you're considering this service please reconsider. Unfortunately I had an extremely negative experience with the manager/owner Dan. The job was to replace 2 exterior doors, which I purchased myself from Cape Cod Lumber and purchased the new hardware/door knobs from Lowes, and had all the materials delivered to my property myself. I simply needed an install. My first impression of the craftsperson was actually good, and he wrote me up a quote. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE learn from my mistake here, what was said next was a complete lie. A single panel, standard 36"×82" entry door, which comes pre-manufactured in a frame, is just that, it's standard. These guys sold me on the premise that this door installation was highly custom, and that my door (a Therma-tru) was custom and required 2 whole days to install! I'm in a bit of a time constraint due to preparing to rent the property for traveling Hospital workers (as i am also a travelling hospital worker) and unfortunately I didn't realize I was being lied to... So, for anyone out there who understands business 101, being transparent with scope of work and contract details is very commonplace, you can expect an honest person to explain those details. Dan Edwards refused to explain the breakdown of pricing when I respectfully questioned the invoice. Because I soon learned that i was paying nearly 4x more than i needed to. The doors were hung in less than half a day (was told it would be an entire day to hang one door) and the charge was nearly $4,000. Current MASTER carpenter hourly rates in Massachusetts for 2023 are ~$125/hr, and replacing an entry door is a $500-$600 job. The handyperson charged me $256hr after all was said and done, and they were clearly not a master carpenter. These guys do most of their service with our local elderly, and they're shameless with disingenuous business practice. I don't believe the owner truly understands basic construction, which makes it difficult to reason with him. He has a history of 15 different jobs in sales and marketing according to his linked in account, and judging by several other reviews here, he's done this before to local home owners! His approach to explaining scope of work and breaking down invoice details is to argue, insult, interrupt and threaten with mechanics liens. HOME OWNER BEWARE. Also, my door doesn't even close, after all of that. Please look elsewhere for work.EDIT: Replying to Dan's response here. Guys please look elsewhere for work, unfortunately some people refuse to acknowledge the truth.1) I purchased the doors completely on my own.2) Upon contacting the manufacturer and distributor, the doors are far from custom they are quite standard.3) Asking the installer to do "side work" is not true. The storm door was installer backwards.4) This property is co-owned, and Dan was visibly upset when he learned that I was related to the co-owner who wanted to just understand this expensive work.Service: Remodeling

We needed the metal screening replaced at the open end of our ground-level deck, to keep the critters out. Kevin came and removed the old, decaying screening and replaced it with sturdy, galvanized, stainless steel mesh screening. We couldn't happier with his work. He was prompt, fast, and took pride in his work. The new screening will last for years. See pix. We'll definitely be calling on him for help with our next project!Services: Home maintenance & repairs, General repairs

Kevin did a great job! He worked hard and was responsive to questions and need for additional help. Everything was completed in one day! Thanks!

Very disappointed with this company.Handyman came out to fix a leaking tub drain. The plumber diagnosed and changed a part that he thought was leaking - just below the drain. It was still leaking when he left. Called in a second plumber from Handyman who said it was a simple fix in a different spot of the tub - replace the spigot where the water came out, not where it exited. The second opinion was spot on.So bottom line, I had to go to Lowes, buy a part for the tub, install it myself, and ... oh yes, pay the Handyman Connection for a 2 hour job to replace a part that did not fix the problem.Why is it so difficult to get things fixed correctly the first time?

We were very pleased with the plumbing and handyman services provided by Handyman Connection of the South Shore. Both men were professional, friendly and timely. They also communicated well in advance of there arrival at the house. We will not hesitate to use the company again for future projects.

Highly recommend Handyman Connection in Hanover. My overall experience with the each person I came into contact with was very nice! Jim was the best! I had many odd jobs throughout the house from recessed lighting installation to door reframing. I also had an 800 sq ft drop ceiling replaced and a few other things done. Jim is clearly multi-talented because he was able to get everything done in good time without any issues whatsoever. Also, my dog loves him which is a huge plus because she has massive anxiety and he was so nice to her! Hands down the easiest house project transaction/experience of the year.

Dave was an exelcant electrician, did all the work as expected and in a timely manner, I would recommend him for all electrical work. He has a friendly nature, and keeps the customer informed at all times.

Turned out that the carpenter was a close-by neighbor, so that made it easy to communicate and to arrange for the estimate. The job was done quickly and professionally. What's best is that I'm confident that my project was done well and will last.

We had an excellent experience with John! He was very accommodating with his time when we had questions & the job itself was very well done. Much appreciated!

Kevin & Scott were very helpful at coming up with ideas to work around a problem I was having with finding a right sized bifold door. Everyone else said can't do it. They both suggested that if they could find a wooden one, that they could cut it to fit. Perfect solution that I am very happy with! 😊Services: General construction, Remodeling, Interior painting

We needed some grab bars installed in a shower for my visiting 94-year-old mother-in-law. We have recently moved to Hanover and got lucky when we picked Handyman Connection to do the work. Dan Edwards carefully selected the right man to do the job and sent Jesse because he had lots of experience installing grab bars in tile. Jesse patiently worked through numerous drill bits until he found the right one for our tile then made sure that everything was secure and sturdy.I will certainly be calling Handyman Connection again very soon and requesting Jesse since he can fix anything.

Brian, from Handyman Connection of South Shore, did a great job of replacing the rotted fascia board and re-installing the gutter on my house. It was a cramped and difficult area to work in, but he seemed to do it easily and efficiently. I am very pleased with the work from this company and with Brian in particular. Highly recommend.Service: General construction

Kevin and Mike were great, showed up as scheduled and went right to work. Took time to make sure that the project was done and completed to my satisfaction. Cleaned up all debris and left the site in great condition. Both were very pleasant and professional. Very happy with both Kevin and Mike, would absolutely consider Handyman Connection in the future„

So this is my third time around using these guys... I needed a roofer this time since the rubber roof over my garage has been leaking on and off for some time.I've had it fixed 3 times... once by someone who disappeared mid-job, again by someone who finished the "disappearing acts" job and another person who just didn't stop the leaks.The contractor, Jeffrey Hingston, really knew what he was doing right off the bat. I felt confident that he would finally fix the issues right! So far so good!I highly recommend anyone these folks work with... seems they pick the best of the bunch!!!Service: Home maintenance & repairs

Jonathan Zakas did a excellent job. Quick, efficient cieling sheet rock job. No lines, smooth edges. The clean up was done appropriately. Every contractor is different from this company. He was our second person to come because the first employee was not right for the job. Ask for Jonathan if you need it done right.

We had a wonderful experience with our handyman, James Gaudino, of Handyman Connection. He is multi-skilled, professional, friendly, flexible, creative and undaunted by projects that end up full of surprises. We look forward to working with James again.

I needed some holes in drywall repaired and a cabinet wall replaced. They were recommended and I decided to try them. I'm very happy I did. I really like how they sent an email reminder with a picture of the technician. Kevin was great. He really knows what he's doing and did a fantastic job. The area was left clean and the price was good. I definitely recommend them.Services: General repairs, Drywall repair

I’d highly recommend Handyman Connection of South Shore. The staff is knowledgeable and professional. The estimate was reasonable with no surprises or hidden fees. Mike and Kevin who worked on my project really know their trade. They arrived early every day and completed the job on time. Will definitely call HC with my next project.

Kevin came out to rebuild a small porch. He went above and beyond to create a beautiful finished product. His attention to detail and level of care for our small project was meticulous. Plus, he was just a really nice guy! The whole family loved having him there. I would highly recommend Kevin and will be utilizing his skills again on some larger projects.

Our Handyman, Jim, was thorough in assessing what needed to be done to install new light switches and bathroom fan and deal with the old house wiring we have. He was prompt, personable and professional. We had him come out for additional work to install a new kitchen drawer and hardware as well as repair a leaking roof in our master bath. Would definitely recommend and will be using again as needed.Services: Roof repair, General repairs, Electrical work, Fan repair

I needed a dishwasher installed (not replaced) within an existing cabinet space which required electrical and plumbing work and had been having a hard time finding someone who would do both. Jim quoted a fair price and even deducted a few dollars at the end when the materials cost was overestimated because the dishwasher came with a kit. He was friendly, professional, provided details on his demo/install plans, and even taught me a couple things which is always nice as a homeowner! We need a lot of home improvements done and I'm excited to hire Handyman Connection again because they were so easy to deal with and hassle free from start to finish.Services: Installation, Plumbing fixture installation, Electrical work

I’ve used Handyman connection twice and they’ve done a nice job for us. Bryan came to our house and painted our front porch and door. He did a nice job, particularly power washing our deck. Looks great. Paul came by and painted our windows and worked neatly and quickly.We also had Jesse come to our home and he installed a new door knob and deadbolt.Great job.Highly recommend Handyman ConnectionGreat to deal with.

We decided to change all the lighting fixtures and ceiling fans in our home and wasn't sure who to call for the job. Handyman Connection was great at getting an electrician out to us and Jim did an amazing job with changing all our light fixture and ceiling fans and fixing out lights that weren't working. We were very pleased with the work we had done and the cost of the work was more than fair with all the electrical work and time Jim spent at this job. Thank you so much, we have already recommended your company to many of our friends and we will be using you again when needed!Services: Fan installation, Light fixture installation, Electrical work

Unfortunately I must say that Handyman Connection of South Shore is overall a poor value. It was a very good beginning and extremely poor final. In short I needed to replace a bow window, HC of South Shore responded promptly, dispatched one of their handymen, who came on time. This is where the good part is over. Handyman Mike along with his manager measured what was necessary and promised to reply within a day or two but no later than by the end of next week. It happened almost a month ago and since that we received just complete silence. The one can decide by himself (herself) a quality of this establishment. If you decide to use it be prepared to be forgotten or simply ignored.
