# Home Improvement Craftsmanship **Trade:** Handyman · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.2/5** (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 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. **Strengths:** - Punctual arrivals — 2024 reviews cite on-time visits and fast turnarounds - Asks first — questions the job before quoting or starting - Thumbtack Top Pro — 4.8 stars across 76 ratings in 2024 **Concerns:** - Occasional low ratings — 5% of the 76 Thumbtack ratings are one star ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Run by Kellerman Zheng, known to reviewers as Ming, with a Thumbtack profile showing 16 years in business _(confidence: high)_ - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ma/belmont/furniture-assembly/home-improvement-craftsmanship/service/463976075426775040) — “This Thumbtack profile for Home Improvement Craftsmanship in Belmont, MA (background check completed for Kellerman Zheng; reviewers refer to…” - Finished installing a new outlet within an hour of a 2024 service call _(confidence: medium)_ - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ma/belmont/furniture-assembly/home-improvement-craftsmanship/service/463976075426775040) — “Ming was awesome!
