Laddy's Home Services

Laddy's Home Services works out of Duxbury on the South Shore, and the call people make to them is usually about the kind of job that's been nagging — clogged gutters, tired exterior trim, a room overdue for paint. Owner Mike Ladd, who also runs Junk Busters, introduced the business to neighbors on Nextdoor as a local operation serving the South Shore, and the company's own site says it draws on more than 20 years of home-improvement experience — both self-reported, not independently verified, but they line up with a genuinely long review history. That history runs deep for a neighborhood outfit: 36 tracked reviews dating back to 2021 across four different platforms, anchored by a 5.0 average on 75 Google ratings and a separate 5.00 average across 93 reviews on Porch, where the business is categorized specifically as a gutter cleaner. Two reviews posted in June 2026 keep the same tune going — one calls out the crew's professionalism and Mike's own prompt communication, the other singles out a recent painting job for its attention to detail and notes having used the company before, saying they've "always been very satisfied." Nothing in the last six months breaks that pattern. The one blemish worth knowing about sits on Checkbook.org, where a reviewer flagged the company as expensive — a single word, no further detail, but it's the only discordant note across four sources of reviews. It's also worth noting that a separate lead-gen directory lists Laddy's under "Window & Door Installation," which doesn't match how the business, Porch, or its own site describe the work — window and gutter cleaning, not installation — so it's worth a clarifying question if that's the job at hand. For gutter cleaning, exterior painting, power washing, or the pile of carpentry and junk-removal jobs a house accumulates, Laddy's has the review volume across multiple platforms to back up a call — just confirm pricing upfront given the one complaint, and be clear about scope if window or door installation, rather than cleaning, is what's needed.
