Alex & Sons Handymen works out of Norwood, taking on the kind of household to-do list that piles up before you notice — a wall-mounted air conditioner that needs to come down and the hole patched, baseboard that needs replacing, grout that's gone gray, kitchen hardware that never got swapped. On Thumbtack the company shows two years in business and 185 completed projects, with Alex himself, described by one customer as an engineer who understands how things work, doing much of the hands-on work alongside his son. The thing that keeps coming up across five recent Thumbtack reviews is precision: repair work customers say "looks like nothing was ever there," finish work called out for careful, correct execution, and one customer preparing a house for sale who handed over a long list of small jobs and got every one finished on time. The platform backs that up — a 5.0-star average across 51 ratings, with 98% of them five stars. Beyond repairs and finish work, the business lists interior painting, drywall repair and texturing, and mold inspection among its Thumbtack services, and reviewers separately mention grout work, painting, and kitchen hardware jobs handled in the same visit. Estimates are described as quick and accurate, with one customer noting the work was scheduled within days of the walk-through and finished in the time quoted. There's nothing in the record so far to raise a flag — no complaints turn up in the reviews on file. The main thing worth confirming before booking is simply scope and timing for your specific job, since the reviews describe a range from quick fixes to multi-item punch lists.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Alex & Sons Handymen. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
A day rate replaces the task list — usually the better deal once the list gets long.

Alex did a job great removing a wall air conditioner and repairing the wall. It looks like nothing was ever there. Also he installed a baseboard and it looks beautiful.
He did a great job! I'm definitely working with him again. He really paid attention to every little detail and made sure everything was perfect. He is an engineer, who understand how things work andfix it correctly. He is an amazing problem-solver. He actually did two jobs for me. The first one was for bifold doors. It was a tricky one, installing them in a closet from the 1960s that was originally for sliding doors. He was super precise with his cuts, adjusted the door opening, fixed the door size, filled the cut doors with additional wood peices, and made sure it was all lined up and working smoothly. The next door was a sliding one. Again, he was so precise with his cuts and alignment, and he installed a circular plate handles. He didn't even have the right cutter for it, but he went out and bought one himself just to get the job done!
Alex is an absolute perfectionist and took the time to make all his work perfect. I am so happy with everything - he did grout work, painting, kitchen hardware work, and some other handyman stuff. All of it 100% excellent. I recommend without hesitation.
Alex was extremely professional and got over to our property to do a walk through and provided a very reasonable estimate very quickly. The work was scheduled within a few days and completed in the estimated time! The results were great and the entire process was so smooth and easy. Would definitely reach out for future repairs!
I am quite happy with the excellent work Alex and his son completed for me as I prepare my house for sale in 2 weeks! I had a long list of tasks; some quick some more time consuming and Alex completed each and every one to perfection! They were both very professional, courteous and respectful of my home and cleaned up each work area. I am hiring the to comeback next week to do some exterior painting and gutter cleaning! Their communication was always top notch and clear and concise.
