We needed a new porch for our 1920's colonial. Mike from LJR met with us, analyzed the situation in…read moredetail, and gave us well-explained options regarding materials, timelines and aesthetics. Friendly, professional, and efficient, Mike and his crew gave us a result that was even better than we expected. As a favor to us, he also recommended an electrician for a separate issue and we were completely pleased with his work, too. Most importantly, we are very happy with our new porch, recommend LJR highly, and would happily work with them again on any project!

I have used LJR for many projects over the years and they have always done exceptional work. From…read morejobs as small as installing a new bedroom door to as large as overhauling an entire commercial building they can do it all. My favorite thing about working with them is they ask me about every detail down to the exact placement of mirror or the color/type of a light switch. I hate when contractors make decisions without asking the property owner's opinion and with LJR you will always have the final say. They are also very neat and clean and always put down tarps and keep the dust down to a minimum. Most importantly they are meticulous with finishes and will not cut corners. I highly recommend them for any job and I will use them again and again for future work.

Henrique and his fixed the damage, made the room much more weatherproof, and made the inside far far nicer than it was before. Henrique also had great suggestions on how to improve, rather than just repair. My wife and I are extremely happy with how everything turned out.

Brutal experience with them back in 2022-2024. Would take weeks and, more than once, even months…read moreto get them to come back and do any work (see screenshots of my text interactions with them -- note the dates). They were supposed to build a new rubber roof. It started leaking on 3 separate occasions (which btw was never fully fixed -- we moved on to different contractors who did address the issues). And like I said, it would take months for them to actually come back and attempt to fix anything. Often they'd come by, look at the damage, then I wouldn't hear from them for multiple weeks. Meanwhile, more damage continues to accrue to the walls and ceilings. The internal fixes they applied for the water damage were just patch jobs. They just plastered and painted over. Meanwhile, the insulation behind the wall was soaked and accrued black mold that we had to address later. Also worth pointing out a major blunder at the beginning of the project (see attached videos and pics). They opened up the roof, and left it open for multiple days without doing any work. Well of course a major rainstorm came by (which was on the weather forecast well in advance). Alll that water poured into the house in the middle of the night setting off fire alarms. It was a nightmare to deal with on my end.

I am so glad I found Mr. Handyman of South Essex. I moved to a new home and some of the tiles in my…read moreshower were leaning in and the wall behind was damaged. I had no idea if this was a huge issue or a small one. I called Mr. Handyman and the staff is so very professional. They explain how they work and how much it costs by the hour. They sent Amir who was very kind and professional. He showed up on time. He worked quite quickly. He found the problem, bought the parts, and fixed my issue. He had to come back to grout as the tiles needed to dry. He showed up on time the second time and also worked quickly. Luckily the issue was just in the baseboard and Amir explained how the damage happened and made sure to seal everything well. They are licensed and insured and all the workers have a minimum of 15 years of experience. I felt very safe hiring them. I am happy with the end result. Thank you, Mr. Handyman and Amir!

I received service from Mr. Handyman from Peabody MA. The handyman, Edward Hickey, who did our…read morework was great. He repaired our ceiling. However, we would not recommend their service, unless for emergency because of the the lack of transparancy with the fees and charges. We were quoted $800 + materials for a job that actually took 4 hours, and they charged us the higher amount rather than adjust our fee to the actual time, which was much less than quoted by the administrative person based on a picture that we sent. It's clear that they are looking to make a quick dollar and not retain customers!.

Paul helped us remove a stuck broken dishwasher without destroying our island, something the…read more"professional installers" could not seem to do. While this work did not involve a lot of carpentry, I'll share that Paul was: - Incredibly responsive. He answered my call asap and came the next day to help as planned. - Persistent. This thing was really stuck and Paul would not give up. He got it out after an incredible amount of work. - Courteous. Paul cleaned up everything after the job very thoroughly. - Went the extra mile. Paul noticed that we were missing a plug on our disposal so he drove to the hardware store, bought one, and came back to install it, saving me the trouble. All of this speaks to Paul's character and work ethic. Should I have any carpentry work, I would not hesitate to call Paul. In fact, now that I have his number, I'm dreaming up carpentry jobs!

What a miserable experience. Pete was never on time, and cancelled last minute constantly whenever…read morehe was supposed to come and complete work usually while other workers were already at our house waiting for him (which we still had to pay for there time). He took thousands of dollars from us for a deposit and then said that our project would be delayed because he needed to move shops. He had already demoed our living room at that point which left us staring at a gaping hole in our living room for months. He would say that we were the next project in line and then would tell our designer that he had five projects ahead of us. He strung us along for months until we finally fired him. We had to go to court to secure some resemblance of our deposit back because he refused to give any of it back. There are so many other carpenters that do a far better job in half the time for half the price.

Felipe and his team have now completed two projects for us, and both experiences were outstanding…read more From the very beginning, Felipe was responsive, professional, and easy to work with. He took the time to visit our property, carefully review the scope of work, and provide detailed, timely estimates at fair prices. Throughout each project, communication was excellent. Felipe kept us informed every step of the way, regularly updating us on progress and making sure we felt confident in how everything was moving forward. He also offered thoughtful suggestions that we happily accepted--and those ideas truly elevated the final result. The transformation of our backyard has been incredible. Felipe and his team installed a retaining wall and replaced our worn-out concrete patio with a beautiful paved patio that completely changed the space. His attention to detail and pride in his work are clear in every aspect of the project. It genuinely feels like he approaches each job as if it were his own home. The team worked efficiently without ever compromising quality, and the results speak for themselves. We couldn't be happier and will absolutely be working with Felipe again in the future. If you're looking for someone reliable, skilled, and dedicated to doing the job right, I highly recommend Felipe and his team. You won't be disappointed.
