Adrian Bastide's outfit in Haverhill gets called for the jobs that pile up on a list: a TV to mount, an attic ladder to put in, a door that won't shut right. Thumbtack shows 78 hires and a 4.9 average across 43 ratings, and the company says it runs three employees and has been at it five years. The through-line in this year's reviews is care on small work. A customer who hired the company in May for a batch of apartment jobs — heavy items hung, a TV mounted, furniture anchored to the walls — singled out the communication as much as the work itself. Another described a new attic ladder installed meticulously and thoroughly; a third called the door repair quick and responsive. A February customer mentioned patience with kids underfoot during a furniture build, which tells you something about how the visits actually go. Worth knowing before you call: everything on file describes handyman-scale visits, not renovations. The Thumbtack profile also lists general contracting, carpentry and painting among its services, so if the job is a full remodel rather than a punch list, ask specifically for projects of that size and for references to match. The profile lists OSHA 10, 30 and 40 training plus a HAZWOPER 16-hour course and silica and asbestos awareness. Those are the company's own entries on the platform rather than credentials confirmed against an issuing body, so treat them as a claim worth asking about. Thumbtack is also the only place the company has a public track record, which means the 4.9 rests on one site's ratings with nothing to weigh it against. Right call for the punch-list day — the mounting, assembling, patching and small-repair work a larger contractor won't bother with, done by someone reviewers say shows up with the right tools. Confirm scope and price in writing before booking, especially for anything running longer than a few hours.
