Handyman/Handywoman reviews in Reading, Massachusetts

I called Finnegan & Sons on the 4th of July expecting to leave a voice message, what a wonderful surprise it was when Chris answered my call, I knew at that moment this is the gentlemen I would want to fix two window blinds.
He showed up as promised to give an estimate which was very reasonable and acceptable and the job was completed right on schedule, professionally, accurately, to my complete satisfaction.
Thank you Chris with your pleasing personality, professional caring, honest attitude you can't go wrong, keep up the great work!
Wishing you all the very best always,
Lal

I'm new to the area and don't know any handymen. I called Chris to assemble a dining room table that I purchased. He was very responsive, professional and fairly priced. He did a great job and I will definitely keep his business card in my "trusted" file for future needs. Thanks Chris!!!

We contacted Chris to fix some loose tiles in a bathroom shower. He professionally provided us with recommendations for options to address the problem including a rationale for his proposed plan. We couldn’t be happier with the results and will be calling Chris for all our handyman needs!

I needed someone in a pinch to install a new disposal for an elderly aunt. The situation was odd because we were dealing with her schedule, but I was the one doing the hiring. Chris was able to fit me in quickly, did a great job, and for a fair price. He was even sensitive to keeping servicing my aunt without involving her in the arrangements. Thanks Chris! Would definitely do business again.

Chris was very efficient, professional and personable. We had to do some minor home repairs to get our home listed quickly

The owner of this business, Christopher, took my telephone call as soon as I called him and was at my house that very same day. I needed to have gutters reattached to my house. The climb up on the ladder was way too high for me. But Chris went up the ladder and completed the job very professionally and very quickly for a fair price. He had all the tools to complete the job on the first visit so my time was not at all wasted. Would definitely recommend him.

I would recommend
Finnegan and Sons. I needed my fence replaced, Chris responded right away and came out to meet us the next day. Communication was great and showed up when he said he would. The fence came out great! Looking forward to using them for my next project!

We were referred to Finnegan and Sons by a friend for last minute yard work, cleanup and waste removal for an outdoor wedding. Chris was the gentleman who came and he was punctual and friendly.

We had originally discussed lawn care and treatment which he went above and beyond with. The space looked amazing and we received compliments all night long!

In addition to the original job, Chris assisted with installing mosquito deterrent lights, moved pounds of wood, helped with rubbish removal AND offered to assist with picking up chairs and tables when our original plan backfired.

He never hesitated to offer help and went above and beyond what we expected.

I would highly recommend Finnegan and Sons. Great worth ethic, awesome attitude and excellent communication. Chris was fantastic to work with. Thank you again for making a chaotic situation picture perfect !

Had a problem with my outdoor faucet leaking and the indoor shutoff rusted out. Chris came and provided a quote rapidly and did the job of.replacing them within days. He did the job efficiently and well and at a very reasonable.price. Highly recommend! Thanks, Chris.

Chris has done some siding replacement, deck boards replacement and painting for me. His quotes were reasonable and he did very thorough work. If he found something I didn't see or plan for he would bring it to my attention and we would decide if it was worth doing and how much extra it would cost. I liked his responsiveness and dealing with his friendly personality. I plan on having him do work for me again in the fall. It's really worth getting a quote from him for work you need done.

Chris has done so much work for me since I moved into my home 3 years ago. I'm a single mom in need of help with small and big jobs.. he has always been trustworthy, reliable, his rates are reasonable, and he does a great job with small and big jobs - landscaping, painting, masonry, waterproofing my bulkhead, moving and assembling furniture, hanging window shades, installing ceiling fans, snow removal, too much to mention. At a time when it's difficult to find contractors who call you back, I feel lucky to have him.
I noticed all of his review are 5 stars.. except one 1-star review from a competitor who has not had any work done by Chris. Sabotage.. pay no attention.
You won't be disappointed. Finnegan & Sons does great work.

The last storm we had was not only disastrous to the trees in my yard but also my shed. I didn’t know where to turn, so I turned to (Next door) to look for a handyman. Chris from Finnegan & Sons came out to assess the damage and gave me a very good quote, he explained in detail what needed to be done
to repair my shed. The price that he quoted was very fair, and I was ecstatic that my shed iwas going to be fixed properly and efficiently, The time it took Chris was astounding, almost no time at all. He didn’t stop until it was done, and he even braved cold rainy weather . His devotion to detail is unmatched by any handyman I’ve ever worked with before. If anyone is ever in need of a handyman for a job, that’s large or small, don’t hesitate to call…Chris from Finnegan & Sons.

Chris is an all-star! Dependable, professional, reasonable. He came to my house to fix my Bintelli Scooter. He showed me exactly what was wrong and I watched him repair it. He could have told me it was more complicated and charged me more, but he did not. I have had that experience before with other companies. I will be calling him for all of my handyman needs. It’s great that he does a little bit of everything !

Chris fixed my sink valve and installed a new faucet. Job was done on a Saturday which was very convenient.

We had a huge mouse infestation...but no more! Chris removed their nests, made repairs, and sealed up all the spaces mice could get in.
His work was efficient and thorough inside and outside the house.
He was careful not to use any toxic materials because we have a cat.
Clean up was awesome.
Fair contract and pricing.
We recommend him highly!

Our Fence was falling apart, we called Chris and he was here the next day to provide us with a quote. His quote was very reasonable so we decided to have him do the repairs. The work came out fantastic! and we couldn't be happier!. Thank you again for such an easy process and great job.

Absolutely Great! Quality of work was above and beyond. Very professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and communication was great. Start to finish this was the easiest home project/projects we've ever done thanks to Chris. We had him fix our Fence and replace some panels, Pressure wash our house, replace some rotted Fascia boards, replace some rotted Deck boards, replace some rotted Trim boards, and a ton of Painting. We also plan to have him clean our gutters in the spring.

Chris and his team assembled a wooden gazebo on our patio and they did a GREAT job. Chris was very responsive, was able to get us on his schedule right away, they always showed up when they said they were going to and we're so happy with the result! He was also able to save us some money with a recommendation on how to secure the gazebo to the patio - bonus! Would highly highly recommend Finnegan & Sons for your home project 👍

I hired Chris to power wash and clean my home here in Watertown. It is one of the biggest homes on the street and I had not done this since I had the new siding put on.
Chris came over on Friday, May 10th at 9:00 a.m. And did not finish until 6:00 p.m. that day. I must say he did a very good job. Like I said he arrived when he said he was going to be here, he unloaded his equipment. He had a few questions for me. Me I had a few for him and I let him get to work. He started at one end of my house and he thoroughly cleaned everything, Windows, siding, trim, railings. In the back I had a very big problem spot and it looks like new now. It's it's unbelievable the way my house looks now. I am so happy and so pleased with the job. He did all by himself and I will be having his company come and do the maintenance for the future. I cannot say enough good things about Chris and his work and the company. I highly highly recommended Chris and Finnegan and Sons for doing such a fantastic job. I'm over the moon. Happy about the results and my neighbors have already paid me. Many compliments. Thank you again Chris, thank you, Finnegan and Sons.

He was very professional, and dependable, The work was done properly and quick, and communication was very easy, he was always responsive. Highly Recommend!

Finnegan & Sons
Purchased a secondhand snowblower off Chris.
He was willing to deliver the machine and let me check it out prior to purchase.
While there Chris also was also able to repair my other snow thrower which just broke a belt.
Nice to know there are still honest mechanics out there
Both machine machines worked perfectly Through both back to back storms of 2026!
Thank you, Chris you saved my back!
