TATUMS HOME SERVICES

Tatums Home Services is a Lynn, MA outfit that treats plumbing calls and handyman jobs as the same kind of work — whatever's broken, get it fixed right. Thumbtack lists the company at 5 years in business, with 23 projects shown on the platform, and Angi notes it offers service in Spanish. Plumbing is where the reviews get specific. In a November 2023 review, a customer described a kitchen sink that had been leaking for months from the faucet and under the sink — Tatum plumbing came in, beat every prior estimate, and had it fixed in a single day. Another review from the same week, on a different plumbing issue, credited the company with proposing alternative solutions rather than a one-size fix. In an April 2025 review, a customer said Larry was professional and knowledgeable replacing a water boiler, and that the final invoice matched the original quote exactly. The handyman side shows up too: a June 2025 review described patient, careful work painting or staining a deck, and a separate April 2025 job — a full exterior power wash — was called an excellent job at a fair price the customer considered a good investment. Both platforms show a perfect five-star record — 5.0 from 2 ratings on Thumbtack, 5.0 from 3 on Angi — though the reviews on file run from late 2023 through mid-2025, not a long history yet. The company's own listings also mention appliance installation and lawn care, but nothing in the reviews speaks to that work specifically, so it's worth asking directly if that's what's needed. For plumbing repairs, deck work, or a power wash around Lynn and the North Shore, the reviews on file point to careful, fairly priced work and quotes that held. It's a newer name with limited history, so a quick reference check alongside the reviews is a reasonable step before a bigger job.
