Helpful Handyman

Company Overview

Is your list of tasks getting longer? Is your home in need of numerous small repairs that you can't find time for? Let’s take care of it together.

We specialize in small jobs for your home repair needs. We handle the little jobs that no one else wants to do. Our work is limited to quick in-and-out jobs that take no more than a day or two. Most of our work is done in 6 hours or fewer. We do not handle projects that are more than 8 feet off the ground. We are not insured for that kind of work.

Roofing work, including any tasks on roofs, gutter installations, and fascia repairs over 8 feet, is not within our scope.

Look at our Yelp page for the website link. Our site showcases the services we offer.

Our pricing is competitive, and we have references available. We hold insurance and are registered as a Home Improvement Contractor in Massachusetts.

Our company began in January 1989 in a difficult economy, working as a home building and renovation contractor under the name Leonardi's Carpentry Co in Shrewsbury, MA. In the early years, we faced challenges but eventually established ourselves and worked with many fantastic clients. Today, we operate as a small two-person team focused on urgent service calls, minor carpentry tasks, and general handyman repairs as The Helpful Handyman Co. We no longer engage in home building, additions, kitchen or bath remodels, or roofing. We focus solely on small in-and-out home repairs.

I began my career as a construction laborer in 1977 before becoming a young carpenter apprentice. After a couple of years, I gained experience as a frame and finish carpenter, collaborating with reputable contractors such as Gifford Construction, Granger Corp., and DAS Construction.

In early 1989, I established my own carpentry contracting business, meeting new clients and tackling various projects. I took on projects in various locations, including home building, additions, and remodeling.

Recently, I shifted my focus to handyman services, adopting the ""handyman"" title and moving away from ""carpentry."" Now, The Helpful Handyman Co is strictly a small job repair and urgent service call specialist, leaving general contracting behind.
