Alexi did an excellent job putting sealant on my patio wall to prevent rain water from coming in. Not only that, he did extra work for free! He was cheerful and personable. He communicated well when setting up the appointment and arrived punctually. Highly recommended!

Exceptional attention to detail, and also careful not to leave a bunch of dust everywhere. The person I hired before just let all the drywall dust go everyone, so it was nice to have someone who cared enough to make sure that didn't happen! Everything is level and even and perfect. Thank you!

His work ethic and workmanship quality are excellent. His accent is very heavy , but he is very patient and works well with the interpretation apps. Would highly recommend His work. We still are waiting on an order that needs to be replaced. The wood came damaged. I will post pictures once that is completed

Here’s an expanded version of your review for Aleksei:
I recently moved into a new house and needed help installing artwork on my walls as well as setting up some electrical fixtures like my TV and other gadgets. I found Aleksei through a service provider who frames art and paintings. The framer recommended I use Thumbtack, which is how I came across Aleksei. From the very first interaction, I could tell he was professional and detail-oriented. He reached out promptly and asked all the right questions—what type of framing we were hanging, the type of mounting hardware we had, and other specifics. It was clear he wanted to ensure we both had a solid understanding of the scope of the work before starting.
When Aleksei arrived, he was right on time. He was polite, friendly, and went straight to work. What immediately stood out was how meticulous he was. He took great care in measuring the walls and frames, ensuring everything was perfectly aligned and proportionate. The minute he hung the first piece of art in my room, I knew I was dealing with a true professional.
Throughout the day, Aleksei remained laser-focused, tackling multiple tasks with precision and care. He didn’t cut corners or rush the job—instead, he approached every piece of artwork and every fixture as if it was the most important item in the house. By the end of the day, my walls were beautifully decorated with my favorite artwork, and my home truly felt like it had come to life. The attention to detail and effort he put into making everything perfect made a huge difference.
Not only did Aleksei do a tremendous job, but he was also incredibly easy to talk to. He was personable, respectful, and genuinely seemed to care about doing the best job possible.
If you’re looking for a skilled handyman to help with anything at your home or office—whether it’s hanging artwork, installing fixtures, or other general tasks—I wholeheartedly recommend Aleksei. His professionalism, expertise, and friendly attitude make him a standout choice, and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again for future projects.
