Vlad Pro Service

Vlad Pro Service is a Medford, MA handyman operation run by Vladimir Baybikov, who says on Thumbtack he's been doing this work for seven years. It carries Thumbtack's Top Pro badge for 2025 off the back of 181 reviews averaging 4.9 stars — the kind of volume that's hard to fake, and the pattern in recent write-ups backs it up. The reviews that came in this past month tell a consistent story: people call Vlad for the jobs that are hard to find someone for. One homeowner hired him to fix four doors and re-caulk two bathrooms in a single visit; another had him hang curtains, art and a complicated TV wall mount "super quickly and perfectly." A third needed a sliding screen door taken apart and rehung — done inside an hour. Further back, in an April review, a homeowner described him troubleshooting a GFCI outlet and dead bathroom fans and correcting the problem outright, and a July review credited him with a trash-compactor repair, noting he returned with the right part and a receipt and worked at what the reviewer called reasonable prices. That range — electrical troubleshooting, appliance repair, door work, mounting — matches what he lists as his own services on Thumbtack: handyman work, electrical and wiring repair, appliance installation and repair, TV mounting, furniture assembly, window repair, and more. The reviews mostly cluster around general handyman calls rather than one narrow specialty, which fits a one-person operation that shows up and figures out the actual problem. Worth noting: out of the 181 ratings on file, about 2% came in at one star, though none of those show up among the reviews visible here, so there's no specific complaint to point to — just a small slice worth being aware of against an otherwise strong record. For a broad range of household fixes — a stubborn door, a dead outlet, mounting a TV, an appliance that's stopped working — Vlad Pro Service has repeat, specific praise that suggests reliable follow-through. Confirm scope and price for anything larger before booking, since the jobs described here are mostly smaller, single-visit work.
