Two of the three Google reviews for Manakov Inc Handyman Service use the same word for the finished job: clean. One is a bathroom remodel; the other is a basement door that a March 2026 customer said fit perfectly — installed cleanly, on time, explained as it went, and finished quickly. The third comes from a repeat client rather than a homeowner. Writing in April 2026, they said they had worked with Sam Manakov on multiple construction projects and called him one of the most reliable and easy-to-work-with contractors they had hired; those projects ran to building out new walls, installing doors and finishing ceilings. The bathroom remodel, also in April 2026, was described as done on time and with attention to detail, by a customer who dealt with a team. Sam is the one named by hand in the other two. This is a sensible call for the jobs that sit between a repair and a renovation — a door hung so it actually fits, walls and ceilings in a build-out, a bathroom brought up to date. Two of the three customers wrote about punctuality, so pin down a start date when you book, and describe your job specifically: what these three people hired him for ranges from one basement door to a run of construction projects.
We’ve worked with Sam Manakov on multiple construction projects, and I can confidently say he is one of the most reliable and easy-to-work-with contractors we’ve ever hired. Our projects were not simple—they included building out new walls, installing doors, finishing ceilings, painting, and coordinating multiple moving parts. From start to finish, Sam was incredibly organized, responsive, and detail-oriented. He communicated clearly throughout the entire process, which made a huge difference when managing complex timelines. What really stood out is that he delivered everything on time—which, as anyone in construction knows, is rare. No delays, no excuses—just consistent, professional execution. Beyond the quality of work, Sam is simply great to work with. He’s solution-oriented, calm under pressure, and genuinely cares about getting the job done right. Highly recommend for any residential or commercial project—especially if you need someone you can trust to handle complexity without stress.
Great experience with my bathroom remodel. Everything was done clean, on time, and with great attention to detail. The team was professional and easy to work with. Highly recommend!
Sam from Manakov Inc Handyman Service installed a new basement door for us and did an excellent job. The door fits perfectly and the installation was very clean and professional. He arrived on time, explained everything, and finished the work quickly. If you need drywall, doors, or general handyman work in Boston, I definitely recommend him.
