Handyman, HVAC & Electrical Services in Charlestown, MA
Federal-style rowhouses, triple-deckers, and waterfront condos — we work across every corner of Charlestown with one call, one crew, and upfront pricing.
HDC-friendly, party-wall-aware, historic-district ready
Charlestown is one of the most architecturally distinctive neighborhoods in Boston — which means working here requires a light touch. Federal-style rowhouses on Monument Avenue. Restored townhouses on Bunker Hill Street. Post-war triple-deckers around the Thompson Square area. And a wave of modern condos along the Navy Yard waterfront. We know how to work in these spaces: narrow stairs, tight mechanical closets, historic exterior elements that need HDC (Historic District Commission) approval, and party-wall complexities that mean the "neighbor" is literally on the other side of your plaster. We're a short drive over the Bunker Hill Community College exit from Everett. Our Charlestown jobs are frequently 15 minutes from our shop.
Neighborhoods we serve in Charlestown
Common Charlestown home-service issues
Historic-district rowhouses
Gorgeous but complicated. Many have shared walls, shared chimneys, and original infrastructure that requires careful updates. Exterior changes require HDC approval — we know the process.
Tight mechanical closets
1850s houses weren't designed for modern HVAC. We specialize in space-constrained installs — ductless mini-splits, tankless water heaters, space-saving panel locations.
Navy Yard condos
Modern construction but often with specialty HVAC (VRF systems), smart-home wiring, and strict HOA rules on anything that touches shared walls.
Triple-deckers near Thompson Square
Shared electrical, aging boilers, zoning issues, tenant turnover.
What we've been up to in Charlestown
Ductless mini-split install, Bunker Hill rowhouse
1880 home with no existing ductwork and very little space for a traditional AC. Installed a 3-head ductless system with minimal exterior impact (HDC-friendly). Homeowner finally has AC on every floor.
Navy Yard condo appliance package
New owner moving in. Dishwasher, washer/dryer (stacked), range install. HOA-coordinated for entry timing.
Electrical panel upgrade, Thompson Square triple-decker
Old 100-amp service between three units. Upgraded to 200-amp service with three zoned sub-panels. Coordinated with utility and Boston ISD.
