Michael showed up early, was helpful, consultative, informative and pointed out a couple of challenging house-related things that I didn't even know I should be paying attention to! Thanks for sealing up our basement, appreciate the work.

Michael did a great job fixing the issues I had with the doors in my condo. He was upfront, polite and very professional. When he was done, you'd have never known he was here. I would absolutely use him again in the future.

Needed assistance with replacement of rotted out outdoor railing. Difficult to find carpenters in the area who will do smaller projects. Highly recommend Mike Fonseca.

I had such a great experience with Lee! He removed my old wall-mounted sink and installed a new vanity and sink, and I’m so happy with how it came out. He was super communicative and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. He was very friendly, efficient, and did everything with so much precision and thought. You could tell he really cared about doing it right. He did an amazing job and honestly made my day seeing how good the new vanity looks in my bathroom. So happy with it!

The Mr. Handyman of Greater Newton team has been AMAZING! My husband and I recently purchased a home and had a long list of repairs and updates that came out of our inspection. Lee and Brian got right to work and have been fantastic to work with from the start. They are both incredibly attentive, kind, hardworking, and clearly take pride in their work. Brian did an absolutely fabulous job mounting a dresser to our wall. He even took the extra time to figure out how to keep an outlet accessible that would have otherwise been covered by the dresser. That kind of attention to detail really stood out to us. Lee has also been back to our house several times to work through our list, and we have been so impressed with everything he has done. Most recently, he installed a handrail next to our front entrance. He took the time to really understand what we wanted, including the look, type of wood, and stain, and made sure we were happy with the result. They have helped us with such a wide range of projects, including working with a plumber to add drawers underneath our washer and dryer, filling holes in our walls, making a door self-closing/fireproof, securing a loose floorboard on our stairs, fixing a stuck basement door, and plenty of other smaller projects. As new homeowners, having a team we can call and genuinely trust has been such a relief. Lee and Brian have been responsive, thoughtful, and great at finding solutions, and we have felt confident every step of the way. We will absolutely be using Mr. Handyman of Greater Newton for future projects and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, skilled, and trustworthy help around their home!

Our basement had many large holes in the walls due to decades of projects. We needed one window sealed and another window replaced. We also had the ceiling removed recently and were left with pipes and wires that were not securely fastened. When Tom came to assess the situation and provide an estimate, he also identified issues we were not aware of, such as a small leak in a water pipe (so we could call a plumber before it got worse), and unused hoses that went from outside of the house into the house that critters could just come in and out of without our knowing. He also identified an HVAC duct that was lacking support. For several days, Tom came on time every morning and worked until the afternoon. His work is high quality, and we appreciate his attention to detail. The large holes in the walls were repaired such that we can't tell that there were ever holes at all. Our pipes and wires are now securely fastened in neat bundles and routes. He filled in the gaps in the unused hoses. He and his associate Mike painted the walls well, and now the basement looks much brighter. He boarded up one window with a very neat cover, and replaced the other window. All high quality work we are happy with and importantly, he stayed within the estimate he initially provided.
