Cambridge has some of the most varied housing in Greater Boston — century-old triple-deckers in Inman Square, renovated condos near Harvard and Kendall, new construction along the Green Line. Whatever your housing situation, Tyler Home Services handles handyman work throughout Cambridge with reliable scheduling and honest pricing.
What We Do in Cambridge
Repairs and maintenance that don't require a licensed contractor:
- Doors — sticking, swelling from humidity, dropped on hinges, won't latch, hardware replacement
- Drywall and plaster — holes, cracks, nail pops, smooth finish ready for paint
- Mounting — TVs, shelves, mirrors, and heavy items — anchored correctly into plaster, brick, or drywall
- Light fixtures — swapping old fixtures, ceiling fan installs, basic replacements
- Weatherstripping and caulking — older Cambridge buildings lose heat fast through bad seals
- Furniture assembly — flat-pack, office furniture, anything from a box
- General maintenance — the repairs that keep getting pushed to next month
If something needs a licensed specialist, we'll tell you and refer you to the right person.

Why Cambridge Residents Work With Us
Cambridge's mix of old and new means you need someone who can work in both contexts. Patching plaster in a triple-decker is different from drywalling a condo unit. Hanging something in a lathe wall is different from new construction. We handle both without hesitation.
- Experienced with older Cambridge housing.
- Comfortable with new construction and renovated condos too.
- Clear pricing before any work starts.
- Fully insured.
