John Murphy JM Handyman Services, John Murphy, UNPROFESSIONAL; DIDNT SHOW UP; CLAIMED TO FIX ITEMS ONLY TO LEARN THAT HES AMATEUR AND CANT FIX ANYTHING Tewksbury Massachusetts
Find a different handyman!!!! This guy will continuously tell you hes coming to fix an issue and then never shows up....comes up with all of the excuses in the world. He promised he could fix my leaking fridge...claimed he did it all the time. Did some makeshift repair only for it to leak days later and $100 cash later. My mistake...should have called the appliance repair company at first...but wanted to give him business. He suggested I needed to buy a part for $400....Appliance repair guy fixed it for $90....
Was a no show (cancelled 3 days in a row with different excuses) when I asked if he could fix my running toilet....called my plumber and he got the job done.
He claimed to fix my outside faucet...but didnt. Once it got warm out and I turned on my outside faucet...he essentially broke the connection and the leak is worse...should have called a plumber...my mistake...$100 mistake again. Promised to come fix his mistake...never showed up or returned my texts. Unprofessional.
All of these calls were essentially my mistake as I tried to give this guy business. But after multiple experiences with no-shows, subpar jobs, and false claims...I would avoid making the mistake and hiring this man...Its just not worth your time. They're are better handymen out there...MUCH BETTER. Save your money and hire a professional.

"Handyman" is Latin for "Deadbeat Scammer"

If a "handyman" was at all good at his job or reliable at getting it done on time and on budget, he'd have a license and be bonded or work for a legitimate company. Being a "handyman" means you are handy only at making promises and then doing crap-quality work or none at all.
The only people who hire them are soft-headed (not hearted, sorry) fools who think they are giving someone a break or cheap idiots who think they can take advantage of someone's misfortune and get an expensive project done at low cost. Neither is worthy of sympathy, sorry.
