Alex Handyman Services

Alex Handyman Services is a Massachusetts handyman business based in Everett (also shown as Cambridge on its Thumbtack profile) offering home repair, remodeling and improvement work — plumbing, electrical, painting, carpentry, furniture assembly and more. Thumbtack names it a Top Pro in both 2024 and 2025. The written record is large and remarkably consistent: 33 reviews on Google and Thumbtack, essentially all five stars, most from the past year. The dominant theme is speed and reliability — reviewers repeatedly describe Alex responding within minutes and arriving within hours, including one customer recovering from surgery who needed a knee scooter assembled and had Alex at the door in 20 minutes. Specific jobs described include mounting floating nightstands and shelves, assembling cabinetry and a bed frame, installing crown molding, fixing a curtain rod and blinds, replacing a shower head, hanging pictures, and installing smart light switches — reviewers consistently praise the attention to detail, cleanliness, and fair, transparent pricing agreed before work starts. Several reviewers say they've used Alex repeatedly across multiple properties or projects. On Thumbtack, the business shows a 4.9-star rating from 143 reviews and 363 completed projects, with a 94% five-star share. Some Thumbtack reviews name other technicians — Dmitry, Denis — working under the Alex Handyman Services name, consistent with a small crew rather than a solo operator. One review, describing a small garden project at a home in "West Palm" — apparently West Palm Beach, Florida — doesn't fit with the rest of the record's clear Massachusetts base, and wasn't treated as evidence of this business's work. Thumbtack lists a Home Improvement License for the business, though it hasn't been independently verified against the state registry. For small-to-midsize home repairs, installations and handyman work around Boston's inner suburbs, this is an unusually well-documented, consistently positive track record — fast response and careful, detailed work come up again and again across dozens of independent reviews.
