Listed on Thumbtack out of Medford, Massachusetts, Robert's Home Services is a handyman operation customers keep hiring more than once — deck repair, bathroom rot, drywall patches, tile, doors, even hauling an air conditioner up from the basement for a customer with a bad back. The name on the reviews varies (Robert, Roberto, Rob), but the pattern holds: people call him back for the next job.
Across 21 written reviews from 2022 through mid-2025, nineteen are five stars, and repeat business shows up more than once: a February 2025 review credits him with deck repair, bathroom rot repair and flooring work done well and on time, and a 2022 review from another repeat customer praises precise work on uneven floors and walls. In a 2022 review, a self-described electrical contractor with 20 years in the trades wrote that he refers his own clients to Robert. Its written record runs through July 2025, so none of it is truly current — most of what people describe happened in 2022 and 2023, when reviewers praised drywall patch jobs, a kitchen floor tile installation, and closing off a doorway during a plumber's leak repair.
Two reviews break the pattern. A July 2025 review says Robert never showed up for scheduled service and was untruthful about it afterward. An October 2022 review describes repeated cancellations before Robert finally started a concrete steps repair, then says the finished work looked poor and didn't hold up. A recent no-show and an older quality complaint on a specific job are different kinds of risk — both worth asking about directly before booking.
On Google, Robert's Home Services carries a 4.6★ average across 22 ratings; on Thumbtack, listed as Robert's Home Services LLC with 33 projects shown, it holds a 5.0★ from 5 ratings and a completed background check on record for Roberto Imbimbo. Thumbtack's own service list leans heavily toward plumbing tasks — drain repair, pipe work, water heaters, toilets — alongside the general handyman category, though the reviews themselves center more on carpentry, drywall and flooring work than plumbing specifically.
This fits smaller repair and multi-trade jobs — a rotten bathroom section, a stuck door, an odd install — for a homeowner who wants one person who can plausibly cover several trades. Given the year-old-plus review record and the two complaints on file, confirm current availability and a firm timeline before committing anything time-sensitive.
