Mike from MNM Handyman Services could not have been more helpful when I really needed it…read more Completely went above & beyond, and saved me a lot of money on electrical work. For a little backstory: When some DIY electrical work replacing a ceiling light fixture went wrong, I was stuck without power in my kitchen, living room, or bathroom. I started calling electricians, handy-man services, Home Depot, and anyone else I could get on the line. Mike from MNM Handyman Services was the only person who took the time to listen to me over the phone, and immediately offered some safety tips that allowed me to at least restore power in the rest of my apartment without worrying about electrocuting myself. The very same day, he arrived at my door and took care of the problem. Turns out we were dealing with some pretty ancient wiring, so it wasn't the standard Black/White/Ground situation to connect the fixture. Mike quickly figured out exactly what needed to be done, and explained everything he was doing every step of the way (but of course reminded me never to do it myself unless I know what I'm doing... safety first). Would call 10/10 times for electrical work, or anything else that I can't figure out myself, because I know Mike would make sure it gets done RIGHT. Happy to say I found a friendly, professional, and skilled handyman... a great resolution to what was shaping up to be a disastrous day.

I can't recommend Vessen Home Improvements highly enough. Serge, the owner, was outstanding from…read morestart to finish. I contacted him after, unfortunately, hiring another contractor only three months earlier who did a sloppy job and left me looking at crooked doors every day. Serge and his team came in, replaced all of them, and the workmanship was outstanding. Our project involved replacing 13 interior doors (including 3 double door closets), and because our home has non-standard door sizes, it required extensive measuring and planning. Serge took the time to carefully measure everything multiple times and even researched the best sources to find the right doors rather than taking shortcuts. He also replaced a bathroom threshold and completed a few other projects, all with the same attention to detail. Throughout the project, Serge was exceptionally communicative, professional, and reliable. His crew was hardworking, respectful, quiet, and left the house clean at the end of each day. Most importantly, the quality of the workmanship was exceptional. Serge is a true perfectionist, and it shows in every detail. The doors fit perfectly, operate smoothly, and the finished product exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for someone who takes pride in his work, communicates well, and delivers outstanding craftsmanship, I would wholeheartedly recommend Serge and his team.

Applied some laminate that had been ruined, and the baseboard was not affected. I also asked him to install a supported piece of wood to extend my washer and dryer area. They did a great job I couldn't be happier. And they were done with the work in a short amount of time. And his pricing was great. I will reach out to him with further work when I need to get it done.

TL;DR: John is freakin' AWESOME! We hired John a couple of…read moreyears ago to do a few odd jobs around our new, very old home. We assumed it would take several days for him to complete the work, but he finished everything in one day and at maybe 1/4 the cost we'd expected. One of the original visit jobs was installing a railing on the basement stairwell, and when one of the screws loosened up a few months later, John came back the same day, worked on it for nearly an hour, and did not charge us a penny. YES, no charge at all! Who does that anymore, especially in Boston?!? Fast forward to today, years after we last called John. I asked if he could swing by for a few odd jobs during the next week or two. I described everything via text and included a pic of the house to jog his memory. Just a few hours later as I'm wrapping up work, John sends over pics of everything--FIXED! The invoice, parts included, is 1/3 the cost anyone else would charge. Just three reviews? This guy is Yelp's best kept secret right now. Despite his funny Scottish accent, I really can't say enough good things about John--he is best described as a handyman superhero. He's a reliable, trustworthy guy who works super fast, does great work, and actually has a great sense of humor to go along with his great Scottish accent. Hire him with the peace of mind that he'll do the job efficiently and at a very fair price.

He answered me the same day with a text number, set up a convenient time to come and take a look and came back to do the work, all in less than a week. He did an outstanding job and was very patient with me when I asked him to move a couple of pieces a few inches higher. He worked really quickly, and while he was at our house also installed a light fixture for us. I found his rate quite reasonable. Looking forward to working with John again in the future.

He gave us good advice on how to prevent the problem in the future. His price for a Saturday visit was very reasonable. I can recommend him highly!
