The shop
A family trade, not a call center.
Michael started as a fixer in high school, working under a general contractor. He built Nailed It North Shore into a licensed electrical and remodeling crew — the shop neighbors call when the house needs a kitchen, a bath, electrical work, plumbing, or the punch list that has been sitting on the fridge.
15+ years on the North Shore. Our crew owns the job from the first look to the last wipe-down.

We come look. Then we do the work.
01
Call or request a visit
Tell us what is going on. A photo of the problem helps. We will get back to you — usually within a business day, and never more than 72 hours.

We come take a look
Nailed It North Shore comes out, looks at the work in person, and gives a clear estimate. No pressure, no padded extras. If we can do the work that day, we do.
03
Or we book the job
If it cannot be finished on the visit, we schedule another appointment. Weekday hours, 8:00 to 4:30. You will know who is coming and what the day looks like.
04
Done right
The job is finished, the space is cleaned up, and it is guaranteed. If something is off, we come back.

From the neighborhood
The kind of work people mention on Nextdoor.
4.9 out of 5 from 88 Google reviews.
“Michael took out the old toilets, set the new ones, and swapped an office light — then cleaned up after himself. That last part is rarer than it should be.”
“A true professional. He has done quite a bit of work for us over the last few years, and we have always been impressed with how he leaves the house.”
“I was wary of finding someone for a mix of small electrical and plumbing jobs. He was pleasant, on time, and treated the work like it mattered.”
