One contractor, start to finish. We do the work ourselves, so there are no rotating crews and no subcontractors you have never met. Clean jobsites, a written estimate before anything starts, and 20+ years in the trades behind every project.
Next Step Property Services is a Derry, NH based handyman and remodeling company working across southern New Hampshire. We handle kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, basement finishing, deck and outdoor builds, property maintenance, rental turnovers, HOA and 55+ community work, and the everyday repairs in between. One experienced tradesman quotes the job and does the job.
The three we get called for most, shown before and after on real southern New Hampshire jobs. Same person planned, built, and finished every one of them.
Tile, vanities, cabinetry, counters, islands, walk-in showers, and tub-to-shower conversions. Bathrooms are the job we get called for most, and the one where what sits behind the wall decides how long the new finish lasts. Accessibility upgrades welcome.

Framing, insulation, drywall, electrical coordination, flooring, and trim that turn an unfinished basement into a room you actually use. Two decades of demolition work means we know what is behind that wall before we open it.
Ask about basements
Decks, stairs, railings, pergolas, gazebos, sheds, and outdoor kitchens, framed for New England snow load and freeze-thaw. Pressure-treated or composite, built on site from the footings up.
See deck buildingRecurring work for people who manage property rather than just live in it. One contractor, one number, paperwork ready when you need it.
Between-tenants make-ready for landlords and property managers. Demo, paint, repairs, and a clean handoff so the unit gets back on the market.
Turnover DetailsOne contractor on call for the running list. Seasonal upkeep and small fixes handled before they turn into a bigger repair bill.
Maintenance DetailsCondo associations, 55+ communities, and aging-in-place modifications. Certificate of insurance and W-9 provided on request.
HOA DetailsThe smaller jobs and repairs that fill in around the big ones. Plenty of homeowners meet us this way first.
Patch, repair, and repaint interior walls and ceilings. Trim repaints, room refreshes, and damage repair.
Kitchen backsplash, bathroom floors and walls, mudrooms. Proper waterproofing and clean grout lines.
Baseboards, crown, door casings, built-ins, and custom trim. Clean miters, tight joints, no gaps.
Caught early it is a simple fix. Sill plates, subfloor, trim, and siding rot repaired before it spreads further.
Faucet swaps, shower valves, toilet replacements, and small-scale repairs. Bigger jobs get referred to a licensed plumber.
Flat-pack furniture, swing sets, trampolines, and anything else that arrives in a box. Done right the first time.
Same four steps for a bathroom remodel or a single drywall patch. No runaround.
Send a message through the contact form. You hear back from us directly, not from a call center.
On-site walkthrough, a written scope, and a straight price. No high-pressure pitch and no large deposit to book.
We do the work ourselves. Clean jobsite at the end of every day. If something unexpected turns up, you hear about it before it changes the price.
We go through the finished work together. Anything you want adjusted gets adjusted. Then the invoice.
The questions homeowners, landlords, and boards ask us before the first visit.
Both. A loose stair rail, a drywall patch, or a faucet swap is a normal call for us, and so is a gut bathroom. Small jobs are the reason a lot of homeowners meet us in the first place, and they usually get on the calendar faster than a full renovation.
Roofing. We also stop short of work that legally needs a licensed trade. Small plumbing swaps and fixture changes are ours, but a re-pipe or a panel upgrade gets referred to a licensed plumber or electrician. Telling you that up front is cheaper for you than finding out halfway through.
We look at the actual space, then put a written estimate in front of you before anything gets torn out. Small repairs can run hourly, and most handymen in New Hampshire fall between $50 and $150 an hour. Larger projects get priced as a job so you are not watching a meter. If we open a wall and find a problem, we stop and show you before spending your money on it.
Yes, and we provide a certificate of insurance on request, which HOA boards and property managers usually need on file. Worth knowing: New Hampshire does not issue a statewide general contractor or handyman license, so "licensed" means less here than most homeowners assume. Insurance, references, and work that gets permitted and inspected are what actually protect you.
No. The person who walks your job and writes the estimate is the person doing the work. No rotating crews, no day labor, and nobody in your house you have not met. That is the whole reason the business is set up this way.
We do not ask for a large check before work begins. Payment tracks the job as it moves. A contractor who wants most of the money up front is the single most common story we hear from homeowners who got burned.
Where the town requires one, yes. Work that touches structure, electrical, plumbing, or the footprint usually needs a permit. Cosmetic work like paint, flooring, or swapping cabinets in place usually does not. Permitted work gets inspected and goes on the record, which matters when you sell.
We work across southern New Hampshire from our base in Derry, including Manchester, Nashua, and Londonderry. The full list is below. If you are just outside it, ask anyway.
Based in Derry, NH, working with homeowners, landlords, and communities across Rockingham, Hillsborough, and Merrimack counties.
