One experienced tradesman runs your job from demo to final walkthrough. No subcontractors, no rotating crews, no surprise line items at the end. You get a written number first, then the work gets done.
Next Step Property Services is a Derry, NH based handyman and remodeling company that covers Nashua and the rest of southern New Hampshire. We handle bathroom remodeling, kitchen remodeling, deck and porch building, rot and water damage repair, basement finishing, property maintenance, and rental turnovers, backed by more than 20 years in the trades. The same tradesman who quotes your job is the one who does it. See every service we offer.
Nashua housing runs the full range. Mill-era duplexes near Main Street, 1950s ranches on French Hill, split-levels off Broad Street, and newer builds out toward Sky Meadow. Each one hides a different problem behind the wall, and the fix depends on knowing which is which before the first cut. That is the part most homeowners never see on an estimate.
We take on full bathroom renovations and kitchen builds, decks and porches, tile, trim, drywall, rot repair, and the honey-do list nobody else will schedule. One call covers all of it, so you are not chasing four different trades.
Two decades on union job sites running civil and demolition work taught us how to sequence a job so it does not stall. That same planning shows up on a Nashua bathroom. You get one phone number, one person accountable, and a straight answer when something unexpected turns up.
From a gut renovation down to one stubborn repair, this is the work Nashua homeowners and landlords hire us for. We do not do roofing, and we will tell you when a job needs a licensed electrician or plumber instead. See all services.
Tile, vanities, showers and tubs, and full demo-to-finish renovations. Our most requested job, and the one where what is behind the wall matters most.
See bathroom remodeling →Cabinets, counters, backsplash, flooring, and layout changes. We sequence the install so your kitchen is out of service for as few days as the job allows.
See kitchen remodeling →New decks, replacement stairs, railings, and screened porches. Framed to New Hampshire code and built for the snow load we actually get here.
See deck building →Cleanout, paint, patch, and repair for Nashua landlords working against a lease date. Less vacancy, one contractor, photos when it is done.
See rental turnovers →One reliable contractor on call for the running list. Seasonal upkeep and small fixes handled before they turn into a bigger repair bill.
See property maintenance →Condo boards and active-adult communities that need one dependable contractor. W-9 and certificate of insurance provided on request.
See HOA and 55+ services →Bathroom subfloors, exterior trim, door frames, window sills, and deck framing. We track down where the water is getting in, then flash it so it stays out.
Drywall patches, trim, interior doors, backsplash tile, and small fixture swaps. The short list of jobs most contractors will not put on the calendar.
Two jobs from around southern New Hampshire, before on the left and after on the right. Same standards apply on a Nashua job.
Old cabinets and a closed-in layout came out. New cabinetry, counters, and lighting went back in, with the electrical and plumbing sorted while the walls were open. Planning the order of that work is what keeps a kitchen job from dragging into a second month.

The original deck was too small to use and the stairs had gone soft. We extended the frame, rebuilt the stair run, and tied the new work into the existing structure so it reads as one deck instead of an add-on. Framed for snow load and freeze-thaw.
See deck and porch builds →These projects were built elsewhere in southern New Hampshire. We are happy to walk you through what a similar job would take in your Nashua home.
Almost every contractor horror story is a version of the same four problems. Here is how we keep your job off that list.
Not a salesperson, and not a crew of subs you have never met. The person who plans your job is the person who builds it.
You are not handing over a big check before anything happens. Payment tracks the work as it gets done.
A written estimate before anything gets torn out. If we open a wall and find a problem, we stop and show you before spending your money.
Drop cloths down, debris hauled out at the end of each day, and a walkthrough before we go. You should not be cleaning up after us.
Four steps. No runaround, and no waiting a week to hear back.
Send the details or call. We talk through the project and set a time to come look at it. Estimates are free.
We look at the actual space, then put a written estimate in front of you. Straight pricing, and no large deposit to get on the calendar.
One tradesman, planned and sequenced. You hear from us if anything changes, before it changes the price.
We go through the finished work together, haul out the debris, and you sign off once it is right.
Straight answers to what homeowners here ask before a project starts.
Most handymen in New Hampshire land between $50 and $150 an hour. The spread comes down to the trade skill a job needs and whether the person carries insurance. For anything past a quick fix we price the job instead of the clock, so you see one number up front rather than watching a meter run.
New Hampshire does not issue a statewide general contractor or handyman license, so a company saying it is licensed usually means something narrower than homeowners assume. What actually protects you is liability insurance, workers comp where it applies, and a licensed electrician or plumber pulled in for the work that legally requires one. We carry insurance and provide a certificate on request. Electrical and plumbing that needs a licensed trade gets one.
Often yes. Nashua requires permits for work touching structure, electrical, plumbing, or gas, and for decks and additions that change the footprint. Cosmetic work like paint, flooring, or swapping cabinets in place usually does not. We handle the permit where the city requires it so the job gets inspected and lands on the record, which matters when you sell.
A handyman handles repairs and smaller projects. A general contractor manages larger builds and coordinates multiple trades. We work in both lanes, which is why one call can cover a loose stair rail in March and a full bathroom in June. You get quick scheduling on the small stuff and real project discipline on the big stuff.
A large check before any work happens is the single biggest warning sign homeowners tell us about. Materials for a big job may need a deposit, but it should be tied to something real and documented in writing. We do not ask for a large sum up front, and payment follows the work as it moves.
It depends on room size, whether plumbing moves, and the finishes you pick. A cosmetic refresh sits far below a gut renovation that changes the layout. Rather than quote you an average that will not match your house, we look at the space and give you a written number for your project.
Small repairs and punch-list work can usually get on the calendar within a week or two. Full remodels get scheduled around material lead times and the size of the job. Either way we reply within one business day, most often the same day, and tell you honestly where you would land.
Along with Nashua we work in Hudson, Hollis, Merrimack, Amherst, and Pelham, plus Londonderry, Manchester, Derry, Salem, and Windham. If you are near the line and not sure, ask.
All of it. We take jobs from downtown and the Main Street blocks out to French Hill, Crown Hill, the North End, the neighborhoods around Mine Falls Park, and the newer streets off Daniel Webster Highway in south Nashua. Exit 5 or Exit 8 makes little difference to us.
