Viking Property Management

Three reviews, all from 2024, and they don't agree. That is the whole written history of Viking Property Management, a two-person Winthrop operation that tells Thumbtack it has been at this six years, working as a handyman and appliance installer. Two of those 2024 customers were happy — one called the pricing fair and the help fast, another said they were polite and responsive and did a good job at the house. The third is the one to read closely. Writing in October 2024, a customer who needed a seized angle valve shutoff freed up said one valve was fixed and the hot-side shutoff was broken instead; when they bought the replacement part themselves, they found the valve's teeth stripped, and their follow-up messages went unanswered. Thumbtack's own breakdown shows the split plainly: 67% five-star, 33% two-star. The profile carries 27 project photos and a background check completed under the name Victor Marques in September 2024. It also currently marks the pro as unavailable for appliance installation, so pin down what they are actually taking on before you call. For small handyman jobs this is a local, background-checked option with a short history behind it — one hire through the platform, and nothing written since 2024. Ask how they handle a repair that goes wrong mid-job, because that is exactly where the one detailed complaint landed.
