Handyman James
Lexington knows James first for snow. The handyman work followed, and a good deal of it started with a driveway.
Get a quoteClearing a property every storm for a winter teaches you the house. Which gutter overflows, which step ices, which door swells. A fair number of Lexington handyman jobs began as something noticed during a January round and mentioned to the owner afterwards.
The older colonials here, and the houses around the historic district, carry the maintenance that age brings: sash windows, exterior trim that wants repainting before it rots rather than after, interior doors that move with the seasons. None of it is dramatic. All of it gets worse if left.
Covering Lexington Center, the historic district, and the neighbourhoods off Massachusetts Avenue and Waltham Street.
Hanging blinds, TVs, artwork and shelving. Furniture assembly and fitting out a room from scratch.
Patching, repairs, and full painting and decorating jobs, interior or exterior.
Deck cleaning and repainting, leaf clearance, lawn mowing and hedge trimming.
If it's broken and it's in your house, there's a good chance James has fixed one like it before — from a sticking door to an industrial sewing machine.
Most people meet James through a single job. A fair number then move onto the monthly retainer, which is less a service than an arrangement: $50 per month, per property, and from then on there is one licensed number to call at any hour, with no emergency premium attached to calling it at the wrong one.
A 3am callout is billed at the same hourly rate as a Tuesday afternoon.
Phone, text or email, 24 hours a day. Not a call centre or a ticket queue.
Gutters, exterior and weatherproofing checked before the season that causes the damage, not after it.
The same licensed tradesman every time, who already knows where your shutoff valve is.
Lexington has a lot of larger properties and a lot of owners who are away for stretches of the year. A frozen pipe in an empty house is not an expensive repair because of the pipe; it is expensive because of how long it runs before anyone notices.
The Lexington retainer in full“The best snow clearance team I've known in 50 years of living in Massachusetts. Never fails and always clears the drive perfectly, no matter the depth.”
