Flannery's Handymen isn't the fix-your-faucet kind of handyman — it's the crew North Shore homeowners call to empty a house. Junk removal, cleanouts, hoarding cleanup, demolition, and local moves are the work, run out of Salem by brothers Todd and Rory Flannery, who say they started the business in 1999 and now run it as a family operation with Rory handling day-to-day estimates. On Google, the pattern across recent jobs is consistent: crews that show up when they say they will, often early, and move fast. A repeat customer had them back this past June to clear a few things from the house, the same way they'd hauled off a couch a couple of years earlier. In March, another praised a quick cleanout at a fair price with no damage to the house. Todd's name comes up directly — one longtime customer credits him and his team for punctual, professional help across several moving and decluttering jobs. Even a January move on the coldest day of the year drew a note that the crew drove down from the North Shore to the South Shore without complaint. The 4.4-star average across 72 Google ratings is the fuller picture: mostly strong, not spotless. The history carries at least one serious complaint — an account of damaged belongings and a final bill that ran over what was quoted. It's the exception against a longer run of praise, but it points squarely at the two things worth settling before any crew arrives. So if you're clearing out an estate, a hoard, or a house before a move, Flannery's is a credible North Shore call with a deep, mostly positive Google history behind it. Before they roll a truck, get the price and scope in writing and ask how they handle any damage — the detail that turns a good cleanout into a smooth one.

This was our second time hiring Flannery’s Handymen to help us remove things from our home. The first time was a couple years ago, when we needed our couch removed. They were excellent! This time, we had a few things for them to take away. The two men who came to help us were great! They were so friendly and had our things loaded in their truck in just a few minutes. I don’t know what other companies charge for this service, so I am unable to comment on the cost. But even if other companies cost less, we will utilize Flannery’s Handymen again in the future, if needed, as they have an incredible work ethic and are kind and helpful. We also like that they are a local business, not a big corporation.

These guys — Archie and Kevin were our guys — showed up on time and worked with so much energy and strength and responsiveness that I just felt I had to write a great review. I was amazed by how much they accomplished — and always with a helpful, “Sure!” attitude. We are definitely going to be using them again. I feel personally really grateful to them for attitude, energy, and achievement. Just the best!

I highly recommend Flannery’s Handyman. Todd Flannery and his team have helped me several times with moving, hauling away unwanted items, and decluttering projects, and every experience has been excellent. They are always punctual, efficient, and incredibly professional. Todd brings a calm, solutions-oriented approach that makes even stressful projects feel manageable. The team works quickly while still being careful and respectful of your home and belongings. If you need help with gutter cleaning, decluttering, junk removal, or moving assistance, Flannery’s Handyman is a dependable, hardworking team you can absolutely trust.

We used Flannery’s moving service for our move today (the coldest day of the year) they were supper professional and super nice guys! They had come recommended from friends and although we are on South Shore they came down from the North Shore for us! Super happy and will definitely be using them again in the future! Custom service and communication was great.
