General Repairs
The running list — sticking doors, loose railings, drywall dings, things that have been annoying you for months. Knocked out in one visit where possible.
The leaky faucet, the door that sticks, the deck railing the town wants fixed — you don't need four different contractors. Steve handles the list, start to finish, and he answers his own phone.
Fifteen years of general repair work means most jobs are something he's already done a hundred times. Here's what people call about most.
The running list — sticking doors, loose railings, drywall dings, things that have been annoying you for months. Knocked out in one visit where possible.
Faucets, shower panels, vanities and valves swapped out properly — including the low-water-pressure problems that turn out to be the fixture, not the pipes.
Railings built to the height your town's inspector wants, board replacement, posts and stairs. Steve has finished permit work other contractors left open.
Doors hung, trim and moulding, shelving, framing and the finish work that makes a repair look like it was always that way.
Thermostat replacements, fixtures, switches and outlets — the small electrical jobs that are too little for an electrician to bother with.
Flat-pack furniture, TV mounts, shelving and fixtures — assembled level, anchored properly, and the box taken away.
Bathroom and kitchen updates, plus the punch list at the end of a bigger project when the original crew has moved on.
Heat out, water running, something unsafe? Steve has come out on a Sunday more than once. Call and tell him what's happening.
Steve answers his own phone. Tell him what's broken — or read him the whole list. He'll tell you straight whether it's something he does.
An honest hourly rate or a flat price for the job, before anything starts. Free estimates, and he can often quote small work over the phone.
Same-day when the schedule allows. He works until the problem is actually solved — not until the clock says he's done.
Want something adjusted? Say so. Steve has unpacked his tools again to get a detail right more than once, and he'd rather do that than come back.
Steve Grant has been doing handyman work around North Andover since 2009. He runs a small operation — himself and a helper — which is exactly why the person who quotes your job is the person who does it.
That also means he takes the jobs bigger outfits turn down. A single thermostat. One deck railing. A faucet that never worked right. If it matters to you, it's worth his time — and he'll fit you in rather than tell you to call someone else.
“He wouldn't leave until the problem was solved. Thorough and persistent with a positive demeanor. I even got him on a Sunday.”
“My prior contractor couldn't finish my deck. Steve interrupted his Sunday and got the railing done — his emergency response kept my permit in compliance.”
“One of the few contractors I've used where money was not his priority. Flexible, trustworthy, and he knows what he's doing.”
“He showed up the same day. After the tools were packed up I asked for an adjustment — he happily unpacked and fixed it. What a great find!”
“Even though my job was small, he took the time to fit me in and made it important. Steve is my go-to handyman.”
“Steven fixed her thermostat and got the heat back on. Kind and considerate — came back later the same day when she missed his first visit.”

Most people wait months on jobs that take Steve an afternoon. Call and read him the list — the estimate is free either way.
