Homeowners have all been there - looking at an ever-growing list of things to complete around the house and being utterly overwhelmed by it. Whether it’s a faucet that needs fixing, a bathroom or kitchen that needs an overdue remodel, walls that need a fresh coat of paint, a wobbly railing that needs to be secured, a new light fixture that needs hanging, a garden shed or piece of furniture that needs to be put together, or any other task that’s just been put off again and again, people often don’t have the time, expertise or motivation to get things done when they are busy with other responsibilities.

That’s when you call Leo.

Leo Doran is no stranger to great customer service. Having owned six Massachusetts Gymnastics Center (MGC) locations providing services to thousands of young gymnasts and their families over the years, he strongly believes that responsiveness, clear communication, and a positive attitude are pivotal when it comes to working with clients. Providing a high level of support is second nature to him and has made him highly successful in his ventures. Though he is now ready to move on from the gymnastics world, he isn’t ready to turn in the proverbial towel and retire either.

With a dad who was a firefighter and painter, Leo spent time on his summer breaks in high school and college to help with painting, and it’s something that he found he was really great at. It started within him a lifelong passion for making spaces even more functional and beautiful. 

“I recently did most of the work to upgrade our entire kitchen here in Hopedale, knocking down walls, putting in new counters, cabinets, fixtures, flooring and windows. Investing in remodeling and home improvement projects greatly increases the equity of any home,” shares Leo.

In fact, when Leo’s parents moved into an assisted living facility from the home they built nearly 30 years ago in Harwich, he and his wife bought the house and Leo jumped right in  to improve and renovate it. 

“The home needed quite a bit of work, and I did most of those projects myself. The truth is, I really do enjoy all of it – it’s fun for me. So, when it came to thinking of what the next step in my career journey would be, I decided to apply my business and customer service background, get my handyman license, and start BCL Home Services – where I can actively work and do something I am truly enthusiastic about.”

BCL stands for Better Call Leo, so clients can rest assured that he is going to stand behind his name.

“People need dependable workers who are going to do what they say they are going to do. Integrity is lost a lot of the time with these kinds of things, with people not showing up or doing shoddy work. I am going to be there when I say I’ll be there and do the job right, whatever the task – because I care about providing a level of service that goes above and beyond expectations.”

Leo provides a variety of services including, but not limited to painting, small repairs, furniture assembly, fixture installation, fence and gate repair, power washing, drywall repair, light carpentry, babyproofing, and other odd jobs. His attention to detail and dedication to providing quality results shines through in everything he does, ensuring that every task is done with care and expertise.

BCL Home Services is based in Hopedale but provides services to all of the surrounding communities. To reach out to Leo for a work assessment and quote, call 508-922-8422 or email [email protected]
