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 trim that could use a fresh coat every few years. 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.

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 1-hour minimum; common jobs like TV mounting have flat rates, and bigger projects like painting get a free quote.
Can you handle repairs in older Victorian homes?
Yes — that's most of our Melrose work. Plaster walls and original doors and trim 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.
