Locally owned & operated. The technicians are all bonded and insured and have been put through criminal background checks so it is safe to have them work in and around your home. They show up in clearly marked Mr. Handyman vans ready to get to work! They are carpenters by trade, but have many skills ready to tackle your projects large or small. Mr. Handyman of Central-Eastern Norfolk County and the South Shore is a professional, safe, reliable handyman service for your entire "To Do" list and just one call away. That's why local residents choose our service rather than calling a different specialist to patch drywall, repair wood rot and clean your gutters, our customers consistently choose us for quality work that's guaranteed .
"hired Mr. Handyman to put two drawer fronts, handles, and two sets of glides. The first time they came out he looked at the job quickly and said the office didn't schedule enough time. I showed him the drawer glides and said Im not sure if these are right. He said dont worry I will make them fit. We talked about a day he could come out. I believe two weeks later. There was no confirmation of anyone coming. I forgot until I saw the van pull in. He came and showed me their hourly cost. I agreed. He looked at the glides and said they won't work. I paid 108.00 for them and had them a month from the time I ordered them until the time he came back. The company said it was too late to return. If I returned them two weeks earlier I would have been in the time frame to get a refund. He left to go to a hardware store 6 minutes away and came back over an hour later. On my dime. As time was going on Im doing a rough estimate in my head of the cost and thinking he was on the second drawer. He was not. Now with the clock ticking we are already into this for around 4 1/2 hours. This is one drawer. I told him to stop after he was done with first drawer for fear of what it would cost. He finishes up and hands me a bill for 575.00. One drawer. After he left I went to open the drawer and not only is it slightly crooked the door handle isnt on correctly. He also used cheap 10.00 glides which will fail due to the weight of the silverware. I emailed the office telling them how mad I am about the cost of the drawer and that its wrong. The office sporadically gets back to you. When they said they would fix it I finally agreed and made the appointment. Meanwhile I had another handyman come to do the other drawer. He finished in an hour and a half with sturdy soft close glides. It cost me 160 including glides. I emailed a copy of the receipt with the correct glides. No response. Today before my appointment I emailed confirming he was getting the correct glides before he came. They said they were only coming to fix the cheap glides if needed and fix drawer front and handle. I said I never asked for cheap glides that are not soft close. Also the correct glides are bottom mount. The glides he installed are side mount. Not one drawer has side mount glides. Then the office responded I have to check with the owner but we didn't schedule time for him to replace them. I just told them to cancel. If you responded a few days ago telling me this I wouldn't have spent half a day waiting for someone to come. 575 for installation of one drawer front, glide and handle. $55.00 of which were supplies that I googled and come to around 19.00. 108 I lost because I cannot return the drawer glides I was told would fit. On top of that 4 hours of my morning to find out they had no intention of replacing with the equivalent door glides. Yes people agree to the hourly rate. But NEVER in a million years would I have agreed to that amount of money for one drawer. I also told him to stop when he planned on being there a day which would have been well over 1000 for TWO drawers. They also will not provide receipts of purchases. So their sticking it to you on that also."

"Our heater stopped functioning on Nov 27, 2023 and we called Petro who had done the maintenance on it before and replaced a motor two years ago. They were responsive and a technician came two days later. He worked for 3 hours without explaining what the problem was. Then said he needed to replace the motor. He fixed the problem and left without much explanation. Two days later a bill of $2500 came via email. No explanation, no break-down. I called 4 times over the last 20 days, spoke to 4 different reps and was promised that a supervisor will contact me with the bill details. Nothing happened. Irresponsible customer service and unprofessional behavior. They show all the symptoms of big, bureaucratic, and indifferent service company. I would not recommend Petro if you have options of more personalized services."

R-value measures how well insulation resists heat flow, which directly affects your home's energy efficiency. The higher the R-value, the better the insulation. By calculating the R-value needed for your specific climate and home design, you can choose the right insulation materials and thickness to keep your home comfortable and reduce heating and cooling costs.
You don't need to remove your old insulation before adding new insulation, as long as it's in good condition. Adding new insulation over existing materials can improve your home's energy efficiency. For example, you can install blown-in insulation around fiberglass batts or place rigid insulation over existing layers to enhance the overall R-value. However, if your current insulation is wet, moldy, or damaged, you should remove it to avoid health risks and maintain optimal performance.
Installing insulation typically takes five to twelve hours for batts or boards, and two to five hours for spray foam or blown-in insulation. The exact time depends on the type of material and your home's layout. If you need to remove old insulation, have a larger home, or hard-to-reach areas, the project may take longer.
The International Association of Certified Home Inspectors has said foam board insulation can last up to 100 years if properly installed. Some insulation materials can suffer from water damage or start to sag over many years, thus reducing their insulating ability. Foam boards shouldn't suffer from sagging but have the potential to get damaged. Any broken pieces of foam board can reduce its insulating effectiveness.
