Under a listing name that reads like a plumbing profile, this Somerville shop is really a floor-refinishing and handyman outfit — Chaps Boston, run by Andrei Kolkov, in business eight years by its own account. The two reviews on file, both from 2023, tell a consistent story about turnaround speed. One customer had a malfunctioning garbage disposal swapped out within a two-hour window for $220. Another needed a full studio-apartment floor refinished on a tight deadline and got it done, start to finish, in two days. There isn't much else public yet — just these two accounts, both detailed and both positive — so the picture here is narrow rather than deep. The Thumbtack listing itself also spans appliance repair, carpet work, and general handyman jobs, plumbing drain repair among them, though nothing in the reviews speaks to that side of the business specifically. Worth confirming directly before booking: whether the crew currently available matches who handled these two jobs, and a written estimate, since the public track record here is still small.
I had an outstanding experience with Chaps Boston while renovating my studio apartment. Their incredible team completed a full floor refinishing job within just two days - a task that seemed near impossible given the tight deadline! From the onset, they were consummately professional, managing every aspect of the project efficiently. They handled each challenge with grace, showcasing their expertise and commitment to quality. The attention to detail and precise craftsmanship resulted in a beautifully refinished floor, transforming my space and exceeding my expectations. I am beyond impressed with Chaps Boston's swift service, exceptional skill, and respect for my property. I could not have asked for a more dedicated team to handle my renovation. If you're in Boston and in need of high-quality handyman services, I can't recommend them enough!
I recently sought out the services of Chaps Boston to replace my malfunctioning garbage disposal and their performance was nothing short of stellar. Their team arrived promptly and completed the replacement within an impressive 2-hour window! From the start, Chaps Boston impressed me with their professional demeanor, deep knowledge, and technical proficiency. They managed to swiftly diagnose the issue, source a quality replacement, and install it, all without a hitch. The team's efficiency, punctuality, and expertise really stood out. Moreover, the $220 cost was more than fair given the speed and quality of the service. I was absolutely delighted with the ease and convenience that Chaps Boston provided. I wholeheartedly recommend their top-tier handyman services to anyone in need. You won't be disappointed!

A day rate replaces the task list — usually the better deal once the list gets long.
