Vessen Home Improvements is the contractor Waltham-area homeowners turn to for the jobs too specific for a quick fix but too small for a full remodel — a crooked door, a TV that needs mounting just right, a ceiling patch that has to match. The company, run by Sergey (Serge) Ivashkevich, describes itself as a Medford, Massachusetts handyman and remodeling business serving Middlesex and Essex counties, and its Thumbtack profile lists it at eight years in business.
What comes up again and again across more than a dozen reviews spanning 2021 to 2026 is speed and follow-through. In a July 2026 review, a homeowner said Serge fixed crooked doors left behind by a previous contractor's sloppy work. In a 2023 review, another described reaching out on a Saturday and having a storm door fixed by Monday, with Serge saving them money by repairing just the handle instead of replacing the whole door. A separate 2023 review recounted a basement drop ceiling torn out and replaced with new drywall within days of the first meeting.
The work itself spans more than one trade: a 2024 review credits the company with interior and exterior remodeling, decking, and painting for one repeat customer, while other reviews describe door installation and repair, TV mounting, and light fixture upgrades in jobs dated 2021 and 2022. Google (5 stars from 8 ratings) and Thumbtack (5.0 from 29 ratings, 97% five-star) both show an unbroken run of positive marks, with no negative review on either platform.
BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license for the company (#206468, issued March 2026), which it marks as active — that's the directory's own record, not something checked against the state registry here. Worth asking about: the company's own website says it's based in Medford, while its BuildZoom and Thumbtack listings give a Waltham address, so it's worth confirming which location is handling the job.
This is a solid call for the in-between jobs — door problems, mounting, drywall patches, small remodeling work — where being reachable and finishing fast matters as much as the craftsmanship. Confirm the current license status directly and get a written quote before work starts, especially for anything beyond a single-day task.
