Small repairs pile up fast. Hands on Duty takes care of them for homes and businesses across Boston, MA. Send us your list and we will get through it, one visit at a time.
Everyone has a list of jobs they keep meaning to get to. A door that sticks, a shelf that needs hanging, a faucet that drips. Hands on Duty is a local handyman company that clears that list for you.
We work with homeowners, tenants, landlords and business owners. Our professional handyman services cover everything from a single quick fix to a full day of odd jobs. We bring our own tools, show up on time, and clean up before we leave.
You always know what to expect. We explain the work, give you a clear price, and keep you updated until the job is done.
Here is a look at what we can help with.
Your home needs small fixes all year long. Our residential handyman services are made for exactly that. We work in single-family houses, condos and apartments, and we treat your space with the same care we would give our own.
Some customers call us once for a single repair. Others keep us on for regular visits, so little problems get fixed before they turn into big ones. Landlords and property managers also count on us for quick repairs and turnovers between tenants. One unit or many, it is no problem.
A shop, office or restaurant has to keep running, and a broken door or loose fixture slows everyone down. Our commercial handyman services keep your space safe, tidy and ready for customers.
We can schedule visits before opening, after closing or on quiet days, so the repairs stay out of the way of your business. For ongoing needs, we can set up a regular maintenance routine that suits your building.
Boston buildings have character, and they also have age. Older homes and triple-deckers mean doors that stop closing properly, plaster that cracks and windows that settle. Freezing winters and humid summers make things worse, since wood swells, caulk dries out and fixtures wear down.
Small problems cost more the longer they wait. A loose tile or a gap in the caulk can let water in. A quick repair now often saves a much bigger bill later.
Many Boston landlords and property owners also need things fixed quickly. If something breaks and you need it handled fast, give us a call and we will do our best to get to you as soon as we can.
Plenty of handyman companies promise a lot, so here is what we actually offer. You get one team for repairs, painting, plumbing, electrical, carpentry and more, so you never have to chase down a different company for each job. Our affordable handyman services come with clear pricing and no surprises, and we show up when we say we will.
We do careful, tidy work and clean up after ourselves, whether the job is in a home or a business. If something does not need fixing yet, we will tell you honestly, so you only pay for what matters. Many of our customers are repeat clients, including property managers who trust us with their buildings. We want to be the best handyman service you have worked with, and we earn that one job at a time.
