Somerville's triple-deckers and converted multi-families are some of the most lived-in housing in Greater Boston — and they come with a steady stream of maintenance needs. Doors that swell in summer, plaster that cracks, weatherstripping that's never been replaced. Tyler Home Services handles handyman work throughout Somerville with reliable scheduling and upfront pricing.
What We Handle in Somerville
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 items anchored properly into plaster or drywall
- Light fixtures — swapping old fixtures, ceiling fan installs, basic replacements
- Weatherstripping and caulking — older Somerville buildings are drafty; we fix that
- Furniture assembly — flat-pack, office furniture, gym equipment
- General maintenance — the items that belong on every tenant's and landlord's list
For anything needing a licensed trade, we'll tell you and send you to the right person.
