Your Melrose Handyman — Based Right Here in Town
TV mounting, drywall repair, painting, furniture assembly, and honest odd-job help — from a pro who lives in Melrose.
- Licensed & Insured
- Same-Day Available
- Satisfaction Guaranteed
Boston Handyman Co. is based in Melrose, which makes you our closest customer. When you book, you're not waiting on a crew driving out from Boston through Route 1 traffic — we're minutes away, which is why Melrose jobs are the easiest ones for us to fit in same-day.
Melrose homes keep us busy: a lot of the housing stock here is older Victorians and early-1900s builds, which means plaster walls that crack, doors that stopped closing square decades ago, and porches that need yearly attention. That's exactly the kind of work we do every week — done right, cleaned up after, priced up front.
We serve every corner of Melrose — from the Fells to Wyoming Hill to downtown near Main Street — with no trip fee, ever.

Melrose Handyman FAQs
How fast can you get to a job in Melrose?
We're based in Melrose, so often same-day. If you call in the morning for a small job (TV mount, a couple of repairs), there's a good chance we can be there that afternoon.
Do you charge a trip fee in Melrose?
No. There's no trip fee anywhere in our service area, and Melrose is our home base. Custom work is $100/hour with a 2-hour minimum; common jobs like TV mounting have flat rates.
Can you handle repairs in older Victorian homes?
Yes — that's most of our Melrose work. Plaster walls, original doors and trim, and older porches need a different touch than new construction, and we work on them every week.
What don't you do?
We don't do licensed-trade work: no electrical, plumbing, or HVAC. For everything else — if it's labor, ask us.
