Highlights
- Broad repair range — faucets, glass, caulking, toilets, door hinges in one visit
- Clear communication — repeatedly praised across Google and Nextdoor reviews
- Prompt response — Nextdoor reviewers say he showed up quickly and on time
- Plumbing and electrical — handles minor jobs beyond typical handyman work
- Solo operator — owner-operated, so scheduling depends on one person's availability
MasterCare Handyman Services is a one-man operation out of Newton, Massachusetts — Marc Cohen runs it himself, covering Newton, Needham, Brookline, Waltham, Watertown, Weston, and Wellesley by his own account. The thing that comes up again and again is versatility: reviewers describe him fixing broken glass, a faucet, caulking, toilets, a grate, and door hinges in an old house, all in the same visit. His Google page carries a 5-star average across 13 ratings, and the praise lines up with what shows up elsewhere. A Nextdoor post from neighbors calls out his ability to take on minor plumbing and electrical work alongside the smaller repairs, and describes him responding quickly, identifying the problem, and fixing a leak. Communication is mentioned specifically and repeatedly, not just as a throwaway compliment. Because he's the only one doing the work, booking means working around one person's schedule rather than a crew — worth confirming timing up front, especially for anything beyond a quick single-item fix. He's a natural call for a house with a running list of small, unrelated repairs rather than one big project, and — going by a mention on aginginplacenewengland.com — for accessibility tweaks like grab bars for aging-in-place needs. Ask him directly what he can fit in and when.

Marc is absolutely the most amazing handyman. He has transformed taking care of an old house from being a major pain to easy - he can fix a wide range of things (broken glass, faucet, caulking, toilets, grate, door hinges, and the list goes on and on) and is so efficient at getting work done. Couldn’t be happier!

Exceptional Handyman Service: I recently hired Marc Cohen for a variety of home improvement tasks, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Marc Cohen tackled a diverse range of projects with skill and precision: He expertly installed grab bars, He handled minor plumbing and electrical work with confidence, He installed new shades flawlessly, and He installed a tile kitchen backsplash. He was consistently punctual, arriving on time every day. Throughout the project, he maintained excellent communication, keeping me informed of his progress and any potential issues. He was proactive, thorough, and clearly took pride in his work. He left the work areas clean and tidy, which was greatly appreciated. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and communicative handyman, I wholeheartedly recommend Marc Cohen. He exceeded my expectations and I will call him again for future projects. Lem
