Home Improvement Craftsmanship is a Belmont handyman operation run by Kellerman Zheng, known to his customers as Ming, who Thumbtack lists as in business 16 years. The work leans toward the electrical side of handyman jobs — installing outlets, reading a house's wiring to flag what needs attention now versus later — alongside odder requests like mounting brackets, hanging a security floodlight camera, and troubleshooting a balky DVD player. What keeps customers writing back, in a run of 2024 reviews, is how fast and prepared he shows up: one homeowner had a new outlet finished within an hour of the first call, and another said he walked the whole house sorting urgent fixes from ones that could wait. He asks detailed questions up front so he arrives ready for the actual job rather than guessing on-site. Thumbtack backs that up with volume — a 4.8-star average across 76 ratings and a 2024 Top Pro badge — though a small slice, 5% of the 76, land at one star. This is a strong call for smaller electrical-adjacent handyman work — a new outlet, a wiring once-over, a camera or gadget install — rather than a full rewiring job; ask up front whether your specific task fits his usual scope before booking.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Home Improvement Craftsmanship. 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.

Ming was awesome! He asked a lot of questions to make sure he understood the job and would be able to come prepared. Prepared to not only quote the job but complete it. He showed up on time and finished installing a brand new outlet in an hour. Wow! In addition, he replaced an existing switch for safety and code. He was friendly and his price was great.
Ming was great and definitely knows his trade. He took one look at some wiring and pretty much knew what needed to be done. After walking around the house and looking at some outlets he recommended things that need to be done right away and what can wait until later. He was also very responsive with the quotes and very competitive in pricing. Will definitely work with him again.
Ming replied my request promptly and showed up on time. I hired him to install metal brackets and he did his job well and professionally.
Ming found the solution with my DVD player troubles, which I was struggling with for some days! I would like to use him in the future.
I recently had the pleasure of contacting him to install a floodlight camera and change a battery in my house. From the initial consultation to the final installation, he was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. The installation was done quickly and efficiently, and the end result exceeded my expectations. The floodlight camera is fantastic, providing me with peace of mind and a clear view of my property. The battery change was also done seamlessly, ensuring that my home is now running smoothly.
