This Swampscott-area handyman operation — its Thumbtack profile identifies it as HandyHeroes Home Repair — says it stays "within our core expertise, ensuring quality work without overstepping into areas that require licensed professionals." Thumbtack lists 3 years in business, 3 employees, and a background check on file for Gleb Margolin. In April 2025 reviews, the range of jobs is genuinely wide: a local move where the crew was "incredibly fast" and careful with belongings even though the job ran five hours over due to the customer's own scheduling error; a same-day repaint of a room with new light switches and mosquito screens for a tenant turnover; a 75-inch TV mounted "quickly, cleanly, and exactly" as requested; a shutter repair; and a drywall patch after an old AC unit was removed that left the wall "brand new." All five reviews on Thumbtack are 5 stars. Worth confirming directly which jobs fall inside the "core expertise" the company says it sticks to, since it draws the line at work that needs a licensed tradesperson.
I wish I could give these gentlemen a 10 star rating!! They were incredibly fast and handled ALL of my belongings with care. They were on time and very reasonably priced. They were professional and very friendly. The job took 5 hours longer than expected due to an error on my part but these guys were able to accommodate me. They went above and beyond what was expected. I recommend them for all of your repair/moving needs. Thank you Max and Glenn, you really saved the day for us.

Thank you so much for mounting my 75-inch TV! You did it quickly, cleanly, and exactly how I wanted. Really appreciate your work!
Oh my God, thank you so much! Now I just want to work with you all the time. I had an unexpected issue - new tenants were about to move into my apartment, and I urgently needed to fix a few things in the room and living room. They repainted the room, installed new light switches, and made brand-new mosquito screens for the windows. Thank you so much for your work and for being so responsive and communicative. You came so quickly, and I really appreciate it!
These guys figured out the technical problem and fixed it! (Details: Shutters - Repair - 1-5 windows - As recommended by the professional - I'd like the professional to purchase; Window Treatment Installation or Repair; Hired on Thumbtack)
I hired him to patch up a hole in the drywall after we removed an old wall-mounted AC unit. He came on time, was super professional, and made the wall look brand new. You'd never know there was ever a hole there. Super clean work, fast, and reasonably priced. Definitely calling him again if we need anything else done around the house!
