Alex's Services

Alex's Services works out of Marlborough, Massachusetts, taking on yard work and house cleaning jobs. Thumbtack's own profile puts it at four years in business with 37 projects logged, and its reviews there run 4.4 stars across seven ratings. What keeps coming up in the reviews — across both the yard jobs and the cleaning jobs — is speed and price. One family called in a next-day deep clean of an apartment left a mess by outgoing tenants and got it turned around fast, at what they described as a very reasonable price. Another homeowner who compared several landscaping quotes called Alex hardworking, honest, and the most affordable of the bunch, and said the whole process was stress-free. A third simply said the yard work was a great job and they'd be back for more. Not every account is that clean. In an August 2026 Google review, a homeowner who hired the company to manage landscaping says the job was never finished — the business texted at 10pm to say it was moving on to more profitable work — and called the pricing the real problem. That's a sharp contrast to the quotes-compared-favorably praise elsewhere, and it lines up with a wider gap between platforms: Google shows 3.7 stars from three ratings against Thumbtack's 4.4 from seven, both small samples. For a routine mow-and-trim or a one-off cleanout, the reviews point to a responsive, fairly priced call. For a bigger landscaping commitment, it's worth nailing down scope and price in writing first, given the one account of a job left unfinished.
