Boston's housing is some of the most character-rich in the country — and it comes with an equally diverse range of maintenance needs. Victorian brownstones with original woodwork, triple-deckers with plaster walls, modern condos with drywall and fresh fixtures. Tyler Home Services handles handyman work throughout Boston with reliable scheduling and clear pricing.
What We Handle in Boston
Repairs and maintenance that don't require a licensed contractor:
- Doors — sticking, swelling, dropped on hinges, won't latch, hardware replacement
- Drywall and plaster — holes, cracks, nail pops, smooth finish ready for paint
- Mounting — TVs, shelves, mirrors, heavy artwork — properly anchored into plaster, brick, or drywall
- Light fixtures — swapping outdated fixtures, ceiling fan installs, basic replacements
- Weatherstripping and caulking — Boston's older homes lose a lot of heat through gaps, we fix that
- Furniture assembly — flat-pack, office furniture, gym equipment
- General home maintenance — the list that comes with owning or renting in a city like this
For anything requiring a licensed trade, we'll be straight with you and refer you to the right person.

Why Boston Homeowners and Renters Work With Us
Boston's older housing — particularly brownstones, triple-deckers, and converted multi-families — requires care and experience. Hanging something heavy in a plaster wall is different from drywall. Adjusting a door in a 100-year-old frame is different from a new construction build. We know the difference.
- Experienced with older Boston construction.
- Clear pricing before we start.
