# Akf Maintenance Services Inc **Trade:** Plumbing · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.4/5** (low confidence) — from 5 reviews across 2 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read AKF Maintenance Services Inc is a one-person handyman and plumbing-repair outfit run by Andrew Francis, serving Randolph and the surrounding South Shore area for seven years. The reviews that stand out involve small, specific jobs done quickly and cleanly: a 2025 review described opening up an old basement ceiling to make room for insulation work, finished in 3.5 hours for $520 including materials; a 2024 review mentions fixing a drainage and gutter problem after Andrew was upfront about the price. A recurring theme across five Thumbtack reviews from 2024 to 2026 is Andrew showing up when he says he will and explaining what he's doing along the way — one homeowner was squeezed into the schedule the very next day. Thumbtack rates him 4.8 stars from 13 ratings and shows a completed background check. Handyman work, plumbing pipe repairs, and dishwasher installs are the jobs listed on his profile, and the reviews reflect a mix of general home repairs rather than one narrow specialty. Get a written quote and confirm scheduling up front, especially for a bigger job like the basement work described above. **Strengths:** - Punctual and responsive — reviewers describe fast scheduling and clear communication - High Thumbtack rating — 4.8 stars from 13 ratings - Background checked — Thumbtack background check on file - Detailed job accounts — a 2025 review cited a $520 basement-ceiling job finished in 3.5 hours ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Thumbtack rates the business 4.8 stars from 13 ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ma/randolph/handyman/akf-maintenance-services-inc/service/515540133810487318?spotlightWebMarkupEnabled=1) — “Thumbtack: 4.8★ from 13 ratings” - Thumbtack shows a completed background check tied to Andrew Francis _(confidence: medium)_ - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ma/randolph/handyman/akf-maintenance-services-inc/service/515540133810487318?spotlightWebMarkupEnabled=1) — “Listed certification: Background Check” - The company states 7 years in business _(confidence: medium)_ - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ma/randolph/handyman/akf-maintenance-services-inc/service/515540133810487318?spotlightWebMarkupEnabled=1) — “Thumbtack self-listed profile for AKF Maintenance Services Inc, a background-checked, one-employee handyman and plumbing-repair business run…” - A 2025 review described a basement-ceiling demo job finished in 3.5 hours for $520 including materials, with the cost explained upfront _(confidence: medium)_ - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ma/randolph/handyman/akf-maintenance-services-inc/service/515540133810487318?spotlightWebMarkupEnabled=1) — “Andrew was pleasant, prompt, professional, responsive, left things tidy, and most importantly he got the job done with little to no issues! …” - Multiple reviewers from 2024 to 2026 describe Andrew as punctual, responsive, and quick to accommodate scheduling _(confidence: high)_ - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ma/randolph/handyman/akf-maintenance-services-inc/service/515540133810487318?spotlightWebMarkupEnabled=1) — “Andrew came to look at the project we needed done, and was very punctual, and knowledgeable about what material was needed.
