I haven’t used him personally but Frank Viola (Ace of Clubs) has an excellent reputation and he’s right in Saugus.

 

If you are willing to travel a little, I’ve used Ken Collins (Kustom Clubs) in Manchester, NH and he’s always done a good job for me.

One of my boys' friends runs this shop. He says they're good- i cannot verify firsthand as I havent bought or had work done. https://coolclubs.com/ Glen Sutton is the friend of my friends. 

Glen is great, but I’m not sure he does any club work, think it’s fittings only on site.

Changing a tip shouldn't be an issue for anyone to handle improperly. Not sure how "it can go wrong". Did you try PGA Superstore in Braintree (or is that one of them you had an issue with?) Maybe Joel and Leighs? https://www.pineoaks.com/club/scripts/section/section.asp?NS=GPS

Too much (or improperly applied) heat in removing the old tip can damage the shaft. Something any competent club builder can handle, but if you get a hack, they could VERY easily destroy your shaft.

I had reached out to Frank as I have also heard he has a great reputation. Unfortunately, he is not doing any outside club work at the moment, only taking appointments for fitting. The search continues 

Consider yourself lucky. I've had one dealing with him, and I'll never go back after the way I was treated.

 

I brought a club in for a reshaft, he charged me for spine align (or some BS like that) when I didn't request it and refused to release my club until I paid the charge.

I found jaxongolf.com somewhere online and had him build a few irons for me. Prices are crazy good for the work he does, spine align included etc. Would definitely recommend him for any work needing to be done. He works out of his house in Medford I think

Agree,  Tyler (Jaxon Golf) does great work for great prices.  I had new-to-me set of clubs checked/tweaked for lie angle for $5/club.  I only asked to have him check lie angle, but on his own he checked loft and reset 3 out of the 7 clubs.  No extra charge.  I had 7 new grips put on and had him get the grips (Winn Dri-Tac Oversized) and install.  Done in about 4 days (he had to order the grips).

 

Total Price out the door for lie angle check/tweak and new grip install for 7 clubs,  $115.  That included the cost of the grips.

 

He also met me half way to drop off clubs once they were done.

 

Totally satisfied with workmanship and also highly recommend.
